Ceramic coating

Benefits

Protect your paint with long-lasting ceramic technology

Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection and a deep, glossy finish that keeps your vehicle looking its best for years rather than months. It forms a durable, hydrophobic layer that resists contamination, reduces upkeep, and preserves the quality of your paintwork.

  • Long-lasting protection

    Creates a tough, bonded layer that shields paintwork from UV exposure, chemicals, bird droppings, and environmental contaminants.

  • Enhanced gloss and depth

    Delivers a rich, reflective shine that surpasses traditional waxes and sealants, giving the vehicle a premium, freshly detailed appearance.

  • Hydrophobic water behaviour

    Water beads and rolls off the surface, reducing the chance of water spots and making washing significantly easier.

  • Reduced maintenance effort

    The coating resists dirt and grime, meaning the vehicle stays cleaner for longer and requires less frequent washing.

  • Preserves long-term value

    By protecting the paintwork and reducing wear, ceramic coating helps maintain the vehicle’s appearance and resale appeal over time.

With correct care, ceramic coatings can last up to several years. Regular maintenance washing helps maintain performance.
