Service 04 — Ceramic Coating Up to 10 years
A glass layer, measured in years

Locked-in depth.

A semi-permanent glass layer that seals in gloss, repels water and contamination, and keeps the finish effortless to maintain for years — not weeks.

(01) — The Layer

Wax lasts weeks. A coating bonds to the paint and lasts years.

A ceramic coating is a liquid nano-polymer that cures to a hard, glass-like layer chemically bonded to your clear coat. It doesn't sit on top like wax — it becomes part of the surface, adding gloss, slickness and a shield against the world.

Water sheets and beads away, carrying dirt with it. Bird droppings, bug acids, tree sap and road salt can't etch the way they do on bare paint. Washing becomes faster, gentler and far less frequent.

(02) — What It Does

Five reasons
it's worth it.

01

Deeper Gloss

A coating adds a candy-like clarity over corrected paint, amplifying reflections and giving colour real dimension.

OPTICS
02

Hydrophobic

Water beads tight and sheets off, taking dirt with it. The car stays cleaner and dries almost spotlessly.

SELF-CLEANING
03

Chemical Shield

Bird droppings, bug acids, sap and salt are held off the clear coat, resisting the etching they cause on bare paint.

RESISTANCE
04

UV Stable

The coating shrugs off UV that oxidises and dulls unprotected paint, keeping the finish looking freshly detailed.

LONGEVITY
05

Easy Upkeep

Fewer washes, faster drying, no waxing. A coated car is dramatically less work to keep looking its best.

(03) — The Result

Rain becomes a car wash.

Water can't cling, so grime leaves with it. You'll spend less time cleaning and more time looking at a finish that stays showroom-fresh for years.

Two years in and rain still beads like day one. Washing takes half the time and the gloss is unreal. Best money I've spent on the car.

They corrected the paint properly first, then coated it. The depth on my white car has to be seen. Annual check-up included — proper aftercare.

A bird got the roof and it wiped straight off — no etching at all. That alone sold me on the coating. Flawless work and genuinely lovely people.

(06) — Questions

Before you
book.

We'll recommend the right system for how you drive, store and wash the car.

How long does a ceramic coating really last?

+

Our systems are rated from three to ten years. Real-world longevity depends on how the car is stored and washed — with correct maintenance, our flagship system genuinely holds up for a decade, and we verify it at annual inspections.

Does the car need paint correction first?

+

Yes — always at least a light polish. A coating seals in whatever is underneath, so we correct or enhance the paint first. Every coating package here includes the appropriate level of correction.

Is a coating scratch-proof?

+

No — it's scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. It adds hardness and greatly reduces wash-induced swirls, but it won't stop a stone chip or a careless key. For physical impact protection, pair it with paint protection film.

How do I wash a coated car?

+

Gently and infrequently — a pH-neutral shampoo, two buckets and a soft mitt, no automatic brushes. We give every client a simple maintenance guide and stock the correct products so upkeep stays effortless.

How long does the car stay with you?

+

Typically two to four days depending on the package and the level of correction. The coating then cures overnight in a filtered, temperature-controlled bay before we hand the car back.
