Ceramic Coatings

A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so every ceramic coating starts with proper preparation.

1. Wash and decontamination. Road film, iron fallout and tar are removed so the coating bonds to clean paint.
2. Paint correction where needed. Swirl marks and light scratches are polished out first, so the finish you are sealing in is the best it can be.
3. Coating. An advanced nano-diamond based ceramic coating is applied to the paintwork, and to the wheels if you choose.
4. Handover and aftercare. We explain how to wash and look after the coating so it keeps performing.

They do different jobs, and many owners use both.

Paint protection film is a physical layer that takes the hit from stone chips, scuffs and scratches. A ceramic coating is a thin, hard layer that adds gloss, makes the car far easier to wash and resists UV and light swirls, but it will not stop a stone chip.

A popular approach is PPF on the front of the car, where chips happen, and a ceramic coating on the rest for gloss and easy cleaning. We will recommend what makes sense for your car and how you use it.

How long does a ceramic coating last?
With regular and correct maintenance, a ceramic coating can last for years. How long depends on the coating chosen, how the car is used and how it is washed, and we will explain this when we quote.

Do I still need to wash my car?
Yes, but it is much quicker. Water and dirt slide off the surface, so a gentle wash brings back the gloss without polishing or waxing.

Is a new car worth coating?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. We check the paint first, as new cars can still need a light polish to remove marks from transport and dealer preparation.

Can you coat the wheels too?
Yes. A coating on the wheels makes brake dust far easier to clean off.

Thank you so much for transporting my son’s car from Heysham down to London.
I would also like to thank you for storing the car overnight.

The service we have had from you was 10 out of 10. You arrived exactly on time with your emasculate Land Rover Discovery and what looked like a brand new trailer. You went on to deliver the car as agreed.

We for sure will use you again and would highly  recommend you and your business to friends and family.

Many thanks again.

I have used Simon for 6 years for PPF, ceramic coatings and general cleaning. Always a fantastic job, always can find time to fit me in. In addition he has been able to pick up/drop off my cars via trailer too which makes things so much easier to fit around my schedule. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Corvette Stingray C8 - brand new car - was PPF Coated all over, and ceramic coating. The finish is far better than when it came from the factory, more of a show car now. Superb work.

Five years ago Simon first treated my Z4M0i, in 'frosted grey', with a ceramic coating. The result was stunning and the performance lasted brilliantly for all those years. A few months ago, some bodywork led me to have the whole car redone with the ceramic treatment, again with perfect results. Simon is meticulous about his detailing and I would recommend his services to anyone who values the preservation of their motor. Thank you Simon.

Have used Simon on a number of occasions and also recommended him to others. He absolutely delivers on every occasion - from a vehicle appraisal through to basic or advanced detailing services or PPF his work is exceptional.
Refreshing no BS guy who goes out of his way to deliver above & beyond your expectations.
