Ceramic Coating

A hard, glossy layer bonded to the paint or the film. Water and salt spray roll off, and washing takes half the time.

Ceramic coating dripping from a bottle onto a blue suede applicator

A ceramic coating bonds to the paint (or to film) and leaves a hard, slick surface. Salt spray, pollen and bird droppings have a harder time sticking, and a rinse takes most of it off.

We apply it in the studio after a decontamination wash and, where needed, a polish, then leave the car indoors for 48 hours while it cures. You get a care sheet and a free check-up wash after six months.

Process

Three days, start to finish

  1. We measure

    Paint depth on every panel and a walk-around under lights, with you if you like.

  2. We prepare

    Decontamination wash, clay and a polish where the paint needs one. Film and coating seal in whatever is underneath.

  3. We protect

    Film laid by hand, coating applied panel by panel, then a night indoors to cure before the hand-over.

Questions

Film, coating, or both?

Do I need film or a coating?

Film stops rock chips; a coating doesn't. A coating makes the paint glossy and easy to wash; film alone is less slick. Most of our customers put film on the front and a coating on everything, film included.

How long will my car be at the studio?

One day for a coating on a new car, two to three days for film plus coating. Coatings always cure indoors overnight before we hand the car back.

How do I wash a filmed or coated car?

By hand, with a pH-neutral shampoo, and no automatic brushes for the first week. You get a care sheet at the hand-over, and the six-month check-up wash is on us.

What does the warranty cover?

The film is covered for ten years against yellowing, cracking, bubbling and peeling. Coatings come with a written durability rating and a yearly inspection.
