What a Ceramic Coating Does
A ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to your clear coat and hardens, so the paint has a slick, glossy shell.
A coating seals in whatever is under it, so paint with visible swirls should be corrected before it's coated.
Water beads off
Rain and rinse water bead up and roll away, which leaves fewer spots behind when the car dries.
Dirt rinses away
Road grime and dust have a harder time gripping a slick surface, so a hand wash takes less effort.
Deeper gloss
The coating adds a clear, glassy layer that makes black and dark paint look richer and wetter.
A layer over the clear coat
Bird droppings, sap and water spots land on the coating first, which gives you more time to wash them off.
Two Ways to Book a Ceramic Coating
You can coat paint that's already in good shape, or have it corrected first so the coating seals a flawless finish.

Get a QuoteWhat Happens on Coating Day
A coating on its own takes five to six hours at your home, with the prep and the coating done in one visit.
Step 1: Hand wash
We wash the car by hand and dry it with clean microfiber towels, one panel at a time.
Step 2: Decontaminate
An iron remover and a tar remover lift the bonded grime that a normal wash leaves behind.
Step 3: Clay the paint
A clay bar pulls out what's left, so the paint feels glass smooth before anything goes on it.
Step 4: Wipe it bare
A panel wipe removes oils and residue, so the coating bonds straight to the clear coat.
Step 5: Apply and level
We work the coating onto one small section at a time, then level it with a clean towel.
Step 6: Cure and walk through
The coating sets before the car goes back out, and we show you how to wash it safely.
