Professional Ceramic Coating Services
Our professional Gtechniq ceramic coating services are designed to protect, enhance and preserve your vehicle’s paintwork. Once applied, the coating forms a durable, hydrophobic layer that helps repel water, dirt, road grime and environmental contaminants while enhancing gloss, depth and clarity.
Every vehicle is carefully washed, decontaminated, and machine polished before the coating is applied. This preparation removes surface defects, improves the final finish and ensures the coating bonds correctly to the paintwork.
All work is carried out at our Gtechniq Accredited Studio in Hilperton, Wiltshire, near Bath.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Is Ceramic Coating Worth The Investment?
Ceramic coating can be a worthwhile investment for owners who want easier maintenance, lasting gloss and improved resistance to environmental contamination. However, it will not prevent stone chips or eliminate the possibility of scratches. Paint protection film is the better option where physical impact protection is required.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Is the dealer’s paint protection package worth paying for?
The quality of dealership protection packages varies considerably. The main differences are usually the preparation time, product used and experience of the person applying it.
