FAQ
Common Questions
Before you choose a coating, get clear on preparation, timing, and maintenance.
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a surface-applied paint protection option. The selected product, preparation, and maintenance routine all matter. Ask the team which coating and preparation are suitable for your vehicle.
What are the main benefits?
Gloss, protection, and ongoing care are considerations when choosing a coating. Performance varies by product and maintenance. Ask for the selected product’s specifications; a coating does not make paint immune to scratches or stone chips.
How long does the service take?
Timing depends on paint condition, preparation, any correction work, and the selected coating’s application and curing requirements. The team will confirm availability and handover timing when discussing your quote.
How should I maintain my vehicle afterward?
Follow the selected product’s curing and maintenance instructions. Ask when the vehicle can be washed, which cleaning methods are compatible, and what ongoing care is recommended. A coating does not eliminate regular maintenance.
Is paint correction included?
Preparation and correction requirements vary. Paint correction is offered in the existing service range, but should not be assumed to be part of every coating appointment. Your quote should specify the work included for your vehicle.
Is ceramic coating right for my vehicle?
Discuss your paint condition, existing protection, intended use, and maintenance routine with the team. A vehicle-specific assessment helps establish a suitable product, preparation plan, and scope before you book.
