Years of nano protection — professionally applied.

A 9H ceramic coating bonds to the paint surface and provides 1–3 years of hydrophobic protection — water sheets off, road grime doesn't stick, UV can't bleach the paint. Properly prepared and applied at your door. From £150.

01 — The Service What's included

Applied once. Protected for years.

Ceramic coating is not wax or sealant — it chemically bonds to the clear coat surface and becomes part of the paint system. Water, road salt, UV and most chemical contaminants are repelled for 1–3 years with minimal maintenance.

  • Iron & tar decontamination — chemical contaminant removal
  • Clay bar — all bonded surface contamination removed
  • IPA panel wipe — removes wax, oils and polish residue
  • 9H ceramic nano-coating — applied panel by panel
  • Hydrophobic protection — 1–3 years, water and grime repelled
  • UV resistance — prevents paint oxidation and colour fade
  • Cure time guidance — we explain aftercare before we leave
  • Paint correction — add light or full correction to remove defects first
  • Interior cleaning — add at booking
  • Glass, wheel or fabric coating — specialist add-ons available
  • PPF (paint protection film)
Paint defects first? Ceramic coating locks in the current paint condition. Add paint correction at the same visit for a flawless base before the coating goes on.

02 — The visit How it works

Prepare, strip, coat — in the only order that works.

Ceramic coating applied over contamination or wax residue won't bond to the paint — it bonds to the contamination instead. The preparation is everything. We don't skip it.

i

Decontamination & wash ~90 min

Iron and tar removers applied to all painted surfaces. Clay bar removes bonded contamination. Two-bucket hand wash. The paint surface must be physically and chemically clean before the IPA strip.

ii

IPA strip ~30 min

Isopropyl alcohol wipe removes all wax, sealant, polish oils and silicones from the paint surface. This step is essential — any residue will prevent the ceramic from bonding to the clear coat.

iii

Ceramic coating application ~90 min

9H ceramic nano-coating applied to one panel at a time using specialist applicators. Each section levelled and checked before moving to the next. Panel edges and door shuts treated.

iv

Cure & aftercare brief ~30 min

Initial cure begins immediately. We provide a full aftercare guide — first wash window, recommended wash products and how to maintain the coating. Pay by card, no deposit taken.

Had coating applied to my new car the week I collected it. Six months on and the water still sheets off in the rain — maintenance washes take a fraction of the time. Best decision I've made.

The gloss is incredible and the car barely needs washing in between. Road grime doesn't stick the same way. Applied on the driveway in a morning — completely painless.

Ceramic on a white car — rain just runs off and the car stays clean twice as long between washes. Professional application, clearly knew exactly what they were doing.

05 — FAQ Common questions

Everything we get asked before a first booking.

Can't find your answer? Call 0800 208 8885 — we usually pick up within an hour during opening hours.

How long does ceramic coating last?
A correctly applied 9H ceramic coating lasts 1–3 years depending on maintenance, car usage and weather exposure. Annual maintenance washes (using pH-neutral shampoo) extend the life of the coating.
Should I correct the paint before ceramic coating?
Yes — ceramic coating seals in the current paint condition. If swirl marks or scratches are present, they will be preserved under the coating. We strongly recommend adding at least machine polish before coating for the best result.
Can I wash the car after coating?
You should avoid washing or water contact for the first 7 days to allow the ceramic to fully cure. After 7 days, hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo only — no automated car washes, which degrade the coating rapidly.
Is ceramic coating applied indoors or outdoors?
Outdoors on a sheltered or shaded driveway is fine if the weather is dry. Ideally a covered area (garage, carport) for the application stage. We'll advise at booking based on your setup.
What's the difference between ceramic coating and wax?
Carnauba wax lasts 2–3 months and sits on top of the paint. Ceramic coating is a nano-polymer that chemically bonds to the clear coat, lasts 1–3 years and provides significantly greater chemical resistance, hydrophobicity and UV protection.
Can you coat windows, wheels or interior plastics?
Yes — glass coating, alloy wheel coating and plastic trim coating are available as add-ons. Mention at booking and we'll provide a price.
