Ceramic Coating & Protection
The ultimate long-term paint protection. A liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paintwork, creating a permanent hydrophobic barrier against scratches, UV damage, chemical contaminants, and road salt. Unlike wax, which wears off in weeks, our coatings run from two years to five. Your vehicle stays cleaner for longer, washes easier, and maintains a showroom-depth gloss year-round.
from £200
£200–£500 by vehicle size for the two-year coating. Longer-life coatings are quoted up from there

Who Is the Ceramic Coating For?
The Cheaper Way To Buy This
Book It With A Detail And It's From £100, Not From £200
Most of what you pay for a standalone ceramic coating is preparation — decontamination, tar and iron removal, clay bar, and a machine polish to get the paint flat first. Our Enhancement Detail (from £300) and Correction Detail (from £450) already include all of it. Add the coating to either booking and you only pay for the coating: from £100 for the two-year tier, with longer-life coatings priced up from there. On its own, with the prep priced in, it starts at £200. If your paint has swirls or marring, this is the route to take anyway — a coating seals in whatever is underneath it, so it is worth correcting the paint before you lock it in.
- Added to an Enhancement Detail — from £400 all in, instead of from £500
- Added to a Correction Detail — from £550 all in, instead of from £650
- The paint gets corrected before it's sealed, not after
- One visit, one prep, one cure — rather than paying for it twice
