What are Ceramic Coatings?
Ceramic coatings are applied to your vehicle’s bodywork and other surfaces, they protect them from chemical and UV-light degradation, and give them a level of scratch resistance. It’s hand-applied in liquid form, and once it dries the liquid polymer chemically bonds to the surface. They create a supreme hard coating offering the highest protection for your vehicle’s surfaces. This coating also provides a superior self-cleaning ability, which lasts for months and even years with the correct maintenance.
How long do Ceramic Coatings last?
We offer a variety of ceramic coatings to best suit your requirements, each has its benefits and characteristics, including durability levels, gloss and cost. After discussing your requirements we can advise you on the best ceramic coating to suit both your budget and outcome. When correctly maintained we have seen all our ceramic coatings outlast their manufacturer’s duration guarantee, lasting over 2 years. We also offer our professional grade coating that can last up to 9 years with correct maintenance.
What surfaces can Ceramic Coatings be applied to?
Ceramic coatings can be applied to almost all exterior surfaces. We offer ceramic coatings for your paintwork, alloy wheels, brake calipers, plastic trims, glass, exhaust tips and more. Although they can be applied to any surface, it’s always better to apply to one which has been refined to a high-quality finish, e.g. after one of our machine polishing detail packages. They do not hide imperfections, if you apply the protection over a poorly finished surface you will find scratches beneath it are still visible and now “protected” by the ceramic coating, defeating the purpose of the coating.
Why do I need a Ceramic Coating on my vehicle?
There are many benefits to having a ceramic coating applied. The ease of cleaning and general maintenance are what our customers always remark on. The self-cleaning properties ensure your vehicle stays cleaner for longer between washes. UV light protection ensures your paintwork will not fade in the sunlight. Chemical resistance allows stubborn dirt and grime to be safely removed without damaging the surface, and when a ceramic coating is applied it will greatly enhance the shine and gloss levels of the surface.
