Main Benefits Of A Ceramic Coating
Increased Durability
Gtechniq ceramic coatings offer a longer lifespan than traditional waxes and sealants, creating a semi-permanent layer of protection that can last for several years with the correct care.
Ease Of Maintenance
The slick, hydrophobic surface makes cleaning quick and easy, as contaminants, dirt, and grime do not readily adhere, reducing the need for frequent washing.
Superior Protection
Ceramic coatings form a protective barrier that resists chemical etching from contaminants, such as tree sap, bug guts, and acid rain. Additionally, the coating prevents paint oxidation and fading caused by UV rays.
Enhanced Gloss
Ceramic coatings add a deep, reflective, and glossy finish to the paint, enhancing its shine and keeping it looking new for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the dealer’s paint protection package worth paying for?
In most cases, no.
Dealership protection packages are typically applied by valeters who are not professionally trained and are given very limited time to complete the job. The products used often offer short-term results, and the preparation is rarely carried out to a professional standard.
A specialist detailer like ourselves properly prepares the paint, corrects any imperfections, applies premium-grade coatings or films, and ensures the protection performs as advertised. This means better durability, better gloss, and far better long-term value.
Is Ceramic Coating Worth The Investment?
If you’re serious about maintaining your vehicle in the long run, there is no doubt that ceramic coating is worth it. Primarily, the ceramic coating that you apply to your vehicle’s paintwork offers unrivalled protection. Still, it enhances your car’s aesthetic appeal, ensuring you can be proud of your vehicle when you take a journey. No matter how you look at it, adding a ceramic coating to your car is 100% worth it and makes vehicle protection and maintenance much easier.
What Is A Ceramic Coating?
The easiest way to understand ceramic coatings is to think of them as a second layer of skin or a sacrificial layer of protection over your car’s paintwork.
A ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months like a carnauba wax or synthetic sealant would.
Why is machine polishing needed before applying the coating?
Ceramic coating locks in the surface beneath it. Any scratches, swirl marks, or haze would otherwise remain visible for years. Machine polishing ensures the paint is corrected, refined, and perfectly prepared, allowing the coating to bond properly and look its best.
Will A Ceramic Coating Prevent Stone Chips & Scratches?
The scratch resistance and hardness of a ceramic coating are often exaggerated; a coated vehicle will still pick up scuffs, stone chips and scratches. Furthermore, improper car washing techniques or automated car washes will still induce marring and swirl marks on your vehicle’s surface.
A ceramic coating is not a substitute for paint protection film, which provides a more comprehensive defence against swirl marks, scratches, vandalism, stone chips, and other road-debris damage.
Our combined ceramic coating and paint protection film services will provide the ultimate protection for your car!
How do I know which ceramic coating package is right for my car?
It depends on the age, current paint condition, and the finish you want to achieve.
– If your car is new → New Car Protection
– Light marks only → Level 1
– Moderate defects → Level 2
– Heavy defects or perfectionist results → Level 3
A complimentary consultation is offered to confirm the best match for your vehicle.
Is upgrading to Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra worth it?
Yes—if you want maximum protection and longevity. Its 10h top coat and 7h base coat create a harder, more durable barrier, making it far more resistant to swirl marks and environmental damage. For long-term ownership, this is the best-value upgrade.
What are the differences between New Car Protection, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Ceramic Coating packages?
Each package is designed for a specific vehicle condition:
– New Car Protection – For brand-new vehicles; focuses on preserving a flawless finish.
– Level 1 Detail – For cars up to 2 years old with only light swirl marks.
– Level 2 Detail – For moderate paint defects and noticeable swirl marks.
– Level 3 Detail – For heavily scratched or neglected paint, or for owners seeking near-perfect results.
The higher the level, the more extensive the paint correction before applying the ceramic coating.
How should I maintain my car after ceramic coating?
Maintenance is simple:
– Use pH-neutral car shampoo
– Avoid automatic or brush car washes
– Perform regular safe-wash techniques
– Use a coating-safe drying towel
– Annual maintenance detail to refresh performance
With proper care, the coating will perform for the full guaranteed term.
What benefits do the Gtechniq 5-year and 9-year coatings provide?
Both coatings deliver:
– Exceptional gloss
– Chemical resistance
– UV protection
– Hydrophobic water-repelling behaviour
– Reduced maintenance effort
Crystal Serum Light (5-year) provides robust protection and great gloss.
Crystal Serum Ultra (9-year) adds greater hardness, improved swirl resistance, and a longer manufacturer-backed guarantee.
Are the add-on services worth it, and what do they protect?
Absolutely — each upgrade protects commonly neglected areas:
– G1 Rain Repellent – Safer driving in rain, improved visibility.
– C5 Wheel Armour – Protects wheels from brake dust and staining.
– Interior Protection – Guards seats, carpets, and fabrics against spills and wear.
– Soft Top Protection – Essential for convertibles to prevent fading and water damage.
– Engine Bay Clean – Great for resale value and overall presentation.
These add-ons ensure your entire vehicle, not only the paint, is protected.
