Ceramic Coating Telford
an unrivalled finish.
5-Year Ceramic Coating
Providing long-lasting ceramic coating services to our customers across the Telford area. At our car detailing studio, the majority of services are offered with the addition of a ceramic coating for your vehicle.
As with any car detailing process, it’s not an easy task, and frankly, if you don’t know how to apply it, I would recommend visiting a professional. A professional detailer will also use professional products that aren’t available for public purchase or use. They offer superior paint protection than what’s available “off-the-shelf”.
The whole point of this process is to protect your vehicle’s paintwork from harmful substances and environmental hazards, offer greater scratch resistance, and have the added benefit of making your car much easier to clean.
It’s an essential aspect of vehicle detailing as a whole and works in unison with our other detailing services; protecting your paintwork and keeping it as glossy as possible. This will provide you with a much better level of protection than any wax or sealant.
Depending on what you're looking for, you must be realistic about your expectations. Unfortunately, a ceramic coating isn't a protective and invulnerable barrier. You will still need to look after your vehicle and properly care for it. You may have read up on the competing reviews and testimonials online, those who swear by the product, and those who despise it, but you'll often find the people who do kick it to the kerb, are "valeters" trying to drum up business. There's no doubt in the detailing industry how much a ceramic coating can benefit your vehicle.

What is Ceramic Coating?
A ceramic coating (also known as Nano-Ceramic Coating) is a liquid polymer detailing product that is applied to protect the exterior paintwork of a vehicle.
This is often applied by hand and consist of silica and titanium dioxide to form a hydrophobic bond; creating a layer of protection above your paintwork.
The chemical bond protects your paintwork from environmental hazards and common defects, such as grime, bird droppings and sun rays.
A ceramic coating will provide a much tougher layer of protection than its alternatives, such as wax and sealants. The bond created will be semi-permanent and can last from 12 months to 7 years.
This nanotechnology-created bond is easiest to understand if you think of it as an extra rock-hard layer of armour over your car’s paintwork.
The Hydrophobic properties leave your car repellent to water and other liquids, creating a slippy surface that rain will just slide off. Hence its alternate name – Nano-Ceramic.
Why do I need Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coatings will create a covalent bond over your vehicle’s paintwork, protecting it from harmful substances and environmental hazards. It is also designed to increase the resistance to your paintwork with the added benefit of leaving your vehicle much easier to clean.
You need a ceramic coating to ensure your paintwork stays intact and is protected from scratches and harmful substances, in some cases (depending on the product used) for up to 7 years.
Without properly maintaining your vehicle, it is often left with paint defects and light scratches, that leave your paintwork looking a little dull. A coating of ceramic will ensure your vehicle is protected in order to keep those high gloss levels on your exterior.
It is also incredibly helpful when it comes to looking after your vehicle, reducing the effort needed to keep it clean.

Testimonials
Over our years of operation, we have applied a ceramic coating to many vehicles across the Telford area. These often exceed expectations and produce a quality that is seen nowhere else. We are proud to deliver the quality we do, and are humbled by the kind words left by our clients.
Protection That Lasts
How long ceramic coating lasts depends on the product that is being used and how well it has been applied. The product we use at our studio can last up to 5 years if you look after your car properly.
Leaving your vehicle too late will mean that your exterior paintwork is no longer protected, and so, is now susceptible to environmental damage and oxidization. To keep your paintwork healthy and defect-free, make sure you visit your detailer now and again for a check-up.

How to maintain ceramic coating
In order for your ceramic coating to last as long as possible, you will need to make sure you look after your car and its paintwork regularly. There are a few steps you can take to ensure the best results:
- Do not wash your vehicle in direct sunlight.
- Use a PH-neutral car shampoo
- Wash your car using the two-bucket method
- Use higher-quality supplies and separate them for your wheels and tires.
In addition to these steps, as mentioned, you will need to wash your vehicle on a regular basis. Best practice is to wash your car every 2 weeks utilizing the tips above. This can help prevent the build-up of environmental contaminants such as dust.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
Depending on the size of your vehicle, make and model, and delicacy of the paintwork, the price could differ. At our studio, the price for ceramic coating starts from £299 for small cars. This includes preparing your car beforehand, which includes a single-stage machine polish.
How does ceramic coating work?
Ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution that bonds with your cars paintwork to prevent and protect it against contaminants, oxidization, scratches and more. The coating will also apply a hydrophobic layer to your vehicle so that it is able to repel water. Once the polymer has bonded with your paintwork, it will protect the clear coat underneath. If your vehicle picks up any dust or other residue, it can be easily remove through a proper wash.
What is the downside to ceramic coating?
Typically, there isn't much downside to applying a ceramic coating to your vehicle. The only noteworthy disadvantage is the cost for installation and application, as it will need to be applied by a professional detailer. Whilst a nano-ceramic does protect your cars paintwork against various defects, it can't protect it against everything. Though, nothing can do it better.
Is ceramic coating good for new car?
Typically, a new car is detailed, or valeted, by amateurs at the dealership. This causes a number of defects to the paintwork that are clearly visible under halogen lights. Therefore, a new car would usually require a thorough snow foam wash and a single stage polish before the ceramic coating is applied. This will ensure any defects are removed and aren't trapped under its coating; producing the highest-quality finish possible.
How to remove ceramic coating
You can remove a car ceramic coating by using a machine polisher to expose the layer of clear coat underneath. This is the best, and only way to remove a ceramic coating completely and safely.
It may also need to be removed if a previous application has failed, wear and deterioration is showing, or a cheap product has been used. Once the coating is removed, we can begin to apply a fresh new layer that can last up to 5 years.
Benefits of ceramic coating
Ceramic coating can protect your car against oxidation and chemical stains. Acidic contaminants in the air can cause damage to your vehicle’s paintwork over time and this will prevent these airborne contaminants from bonding to your paint.
Once your car has been detailed by a professional, a ceramic coating will be applied to your paintwork. In addition to the numerous protection benefits, it will also give your vehicle a high-quality glossy finish. This often produces a shine that looks better than when the car was made.
Believe it or not, the UV rays from the sun can actually damage your paintwork. The effect from such is usually wearing and a faded look of your vehicle. A ceramic coating will protect your exterior paint from these UV rays and again, from oxidation; leaving your vehicle looking stunning for longer.
A ceramic coating will also apply a hydrophobic layer to your paintwork so water will slide right off. It also repels dirt and grime that your car may pick up, so a quick (proper) wash will remove any surface dirt instantly.
Once your car has a ceramic coating applied, you will no longer need to wax that paintwork. This can save you a lot of money in the long run; especially when you consider the other benefits that come with it.
