Ceramic Coating Packages
Ceramic coatings are currently one of the best way to protect your vehicle from various environmental pollutants, oxidation, UV and wash marring. Without protection and correct wash practices, the condition of your paintwork will deteriorate and start to look dull. Before applying a ceramic coating, we prepare the surface via specialist decontamination and degreasing chemicals. Due to the semi permanent nature of ceramic coatings, machine polishing is needed to ensure the condition of the paintwork is close to perfect.
Machine Polishing
Stage 1 paint correction can generally fix up to 50% of paint imperfections whereas
Stage 2 paint correction will fix 70% correctable defects.
Stage 3 is considered a multi step correction where our technicians will chase out any and all correctable defects for a 95% defect free finish.
What is a 2 stage machine polish?
A two stage machine polish is given to eliminate light swirls/scratches, oxidation and dull and hazy paintwork that is damaged over the years by poor wash technique, bad contact and strong chemicals. This service is our most popular package; ideal for the enthusiast who likes to keep a defect free car all year round.
