Ceramic
Lock in 3 or 7 years of protection and a deep, self-cleaning gloss. Professionally applied to paintwork, glass and wheels — at home or work.
Protection that lasts
3 or 7 years, not months
Unlike wax, a ceramic coating bonds to your paint — choose 3 or 7 years of protection to suit you.
Self-cleaning gloss
The hydrophobic surface means dirt and water simply slide off — your car stays cleaner.
Deep, wet-look shine
Ceramic adds remarkable depth and clarity, amplifying the finish beneath it.
Real protection
Guards against UV fade, bird lime, road salt and light chemical etching.
Is it actually worth it?
The honest comparison. If you change your car every year, a sealant may be the smarter spend — and we'll say so.
- Warm, deep glow on darker paint
- Lowest up-front cost
- Needs redoing several times a year
- Little chemical or UV resistance
- Sharp, glassy finish
- Included in our Full Valet and Detailed Valet
- Good choice for a short-term or lease car
- Still needs topping up twice a year
- Years of protection from one application
- Self-cleaning — dirt and water sheet off
- Resists UV fade, bird lime and road salt
- Washing takes half the time it used to
A stage 1 package with a 3 year coating from £330 works out at under £9 a month across the life of the coating — and that includes correcting the paint first.
Corrected first,
then coated
A coating is optically clear and permanent for its lifespan, so whatever is under it is sealed in. That is why paintwork is sold as a package: the correction the paint needs, and then the coating over it.
Stage 1 + 3 or 7 Year Ceramic
A single-stage machine polish to take out the light swirls and wash marring, then a ceramic coating over the corrected finish — 3 or 7 year, whichever suits how long you are keeping the car. The sensible choice for a newer or well-kept one.
- Full decontamination & clay treatment
- Single-stage machine polish
- 3 or 7 year paintwork ceramic coating
- Hydrophobic, self-cleaning finish
Starting price is with the 3 year coating. The 7 year figure is £99 more — or take all three coatings below and the upgrade is free.
See the full packageStage 2 + 3 or 7 Year Ceramic
A cutting pass followed by a refining pass, removing 80–90% of the defects, then the coating — again 3 or 7 year. For older paint, dark colours and anything visibly swirled under direct light.
- Everything in Stage 1
- Dedicated cutting & refining stages
- Paint depth readings taken first
- 3 or 7 year paintwork ceramic coating
Starting price is with the 3 year coating. The 7 year figure is £99 more — or take all three coatings below and the upgrade is free.

None of these needs machine polishing first, so any of them can go on alone or alongside a paintwork package.
Glass Coating
Hydrophobic coating on the glass, so rain sheets away at speed instead of sitting on the screen. The difference on an unlit road at night is the part people notice.
- Rain sheets off the screen
- Clearer night driving
- Easier to keep clean
Wheel Coating
Brake dust bakes onto a hot wheel and etches it. A coated face releases it with a rinse. Priced on how intricate the wheel is rather than how big the car is.
- Repels brake dust
- High-temperature resistant
- Rinses clean in seconds
Wheels Off Coating
The wheels come off the car, so the barrels, the inner faces and the backs of the spokes get coated as well — which is most of a wheel's actual surface and all of the part that collects the worst of it. Arches and hubs are cleaned properly while we are in there.
- Barrels and inner faces coated
- Arches cleaned behind the wheel
- Torqued back to the manufacturer's figure
- The only way to coat a wheel completely
Why it costs more than the £70 face coating: taking four wheels off, cleaning the barrels and inner faces by hand, coating eight surfaces instead of four, then refitting and torquing each one is most of a working day rather than an hour in the driveway. You are paying for the labour and the access, not a different coating — it is the same product on four times the area.
New Car
A new car does not need correcting, it needs sealing before the world gets to it. One visit at a fixed price, before the first wash, the first car park and the first winter — and the paint, glass and wheels all leave under a 7 year coating rather than the 2 year most places drop the glass and wheels to.
- Everything in the Stage 1 package — decontamination, clay treatment, single-stage machine polish
- Gloss enhancement polish to take out the transit film and forecourt wash marks
- 7 year ceramic coating on the paintwork
- 7 year ceramic coating on the glass
- 7 year ceramic coating on the wheel faces
- Engine bay detailed
- Full interior deep clean
Most of a day on site. Cars only — under 1,000 miles and less than a year old. Vans are quoted separately.
Not a starting figure — the car is new, so there is nothing to discover and nothing to quote around. Booked as separate jobs the same work is £590, so this saves you £91.
See the full packageTake all three and the 7 year upgrade is free
Paintwork, glass and wheels coated in the same visit and we upgrade the coating from 3 year to 7 year at no extra cost. It is one preparation and one visit either way, so the saving is ours to pass on.

runs away
A coated surface is intensely hydrophobic — rain beads and sheets straight off, taking dirt with it. Your vehicle stays cleaner, dries spot-free, and keeps its gloss for years.
