Ceramic coating
A hard, water-repellent coating that makes paint and film easier to keep clean and adds depth to the finish, applied once the paint is prepared.
The work
What's included
A ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to the paint and cures to a hard, glossy film. Water beads and runs off, dirt lets go more easily, and washing takes less effort.
It is not armour. A coating does not stop stone chips; that is the job of paint protection film. The two work well together: film on the areas that take impacts, and a coating over everything for easier care.
The result depends on the paint underneath, so every coating starts with an inspection and the preparation your paint needs.
- Consultation and paint inspection
- Wash and decontamination
- Paint preparation agreed at consultation
- Coating for paint or over paint protection film
- Aftercare guidance at handover

Questions
What does a ceramic coating do?
It bonds to the paint and cures to a hard, glossy layer. Water beads off, dirt releases more easily and the car is quicker to wash. It adds depth to the finish, but it does not stop stone chips.
Is ceramic coating better than paint protection film?
They do different jobs. Film protects against chips and scratches. A coating makes paint easier to clean and adds gloss. Many owners combine the two.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
It depends on the coating, how the car is washed and how it is stored. We explain what to expect from the coating we recommend at consultation.
Can a ceramic coating go over PPF?
Yes. Coating the film makes it easier to clean. Ceramic coating can be added to a paint protection quote.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
It depends on the size of the car, the condition of the paint and the preparation needed. We quote after seeing the car.
How should I wash a coated car?
Hand-wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and a clean mitt, and avoid automatic brush washes. We go through aftercare at handover.
