Ceramic coating

A hard, slick layer that keeps the gloss and makes washing easy for years.

from $1,2902–3 days

A coating bonds to clear coat and forms a harder, slicker surface than wax. Water beads and runs off, dirt releases with a gentle wash, and bird droppings and tree sap have less time to etch.

The paint is enhanced or corrected first, wiped to bare clear coat, coated in sections and left to cure overnight indoors.

Two classic saloons, one with tired paint and one restored
Tired paint, and what it can become. Every job starts with paint depth readings and a test section.

How it is done.

  1. 1Wash and decontaminateFoam pre-soak, two-bucket wash, iron fallout remover and clay. Polishing over grit puts new scratches in.
  2. 2Measure the paintA gauge reads the paint depth on every panel, so we know how much clear coat there is to work with before a pad touches it.
  3. 3Correct under studio lightCompound, then polish, one panel at a time under lights that show swirls, holograms and haze.
  4. 4Strip the oilsA panel wipe removes polishing oils that would hide defects and stop a coating bonding.
  5. 5Coat and cureThe coating goes on in sections, is levelled, and cures overnight indoors before the car goes home.
