Protect

Ceramic Coating

A slick, water-shedding Ceramic Pro layer over paint, film or a wrap — easier to wash, and the finish keeps its depth for longer.

Brief

Part of Protect →

A coating doesn't make a car untouchable. It makes it easy to keep it looking the way it did the day it left the bay.

Ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to the surface and cures into a slick, durable shell. Water beads and sheets off, dirt has less to hold on to, and the finish keeps its depth between washes. It doesn't stop stone chips — that's paint protection film — but it makes everything it covers easier to live with.

We apply Ceramic Pro coatings, and we coat what the car actually has: factory paint, paint protection film or a vinyl wrap. On paint the surface is corrected first, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it.

Coating is often the last step of a bigger build — correction then coating, film on the front end and coating everywhere else, or a new wrap sealed so it's easier to keep clean.

What we offer

01

Paint Coating

Ceramic Pro over decontaminated, corrected factory paint for gloss, slickness and easier washing.

  • Decontamination first
  • Correction where needed
  • Final inspection
02

Coating Over Film or a Wrap

A coating over paint protection film or vinyl, so the film sheds water and grime and stays cleaner between washes.

  • Over paint protection film
  • Over a vinyl wrap
  • Film-safe preparation
03

Coating as Part of a Build

Planned with correction, film or a wrap as one job, so every layer agrees with the next.

  • After paint correction
  • With front-end PPF
  • After a new wrap

What we coat

  1. 01

    Factory paint

    Corrected first, then coated — the coating locks in the finish underneath it.

  2. 02

    Paint protection film

    Film takes the impacts; the coating keeps it slick and easy to clean.

  3. 03

    Vinyl wraps

    A coated wrap sheds water and road grime and is easier to keep looking new.

Benefits

  • Water and grime sheet off instead of sticking
  • Washing is quicker and gentler on the finish
  • Keeps gloss and depth between washes
  • Works over factory paint, paint protection film and vinyl
  • Pairs with film: PPF where chips happen, coating everywhere else

Longevity & care

How long a coating performs depends on the package applied and on how the car is washed. You get the written terms for your package, and washing habits decide the rest.

  • Wait the advised period before the first wash
  • Hand wash or touchless with a pH-neutral shampoo
  • Skip drive-through brushes — they wear any finish
  • Dry with a blower or a plush towel

Our process

  1. 01

    Inspection

    Paint, film or wrap looked at under proper light, and what gets coated agreed with you.

  2. 02

    Wash, decontamination & correction

    Iron, tar and clay, then correction on paint where it's needed — the coating locks in what's underneath.

  3. 03

    Coating application

    Ceramic Pro applied panel by panel and levelled before it sets.

  4. 04

    Cure & handover

    The coating is left to cure, then a final inspection and a wash briefing for the first weeks.
