Ceramic coating packages

Our packages are not marketing tiers with fancy names — they are levels of work. What changes between them is how much paint preparation goes in, the tier of coating applied, and whether extras like wheels, glass and trim are included. The right package is the one that matches your car's condition, not the most expensive one.

What differs between packages

What changesWhat it meansHow to think about it
Paint preparationFrom careful decontamination only, up to multi-stage machine polishingThe worse the swirls, the more preparation your car needs — this is the biggest cost driver
Coating tierDifferent coating products with different characteristicsWe recommend the tier that suits how you use and keep the car
Extra areasWheels, exterior glass and exterior trimCan be included or added separately; glass coating in particular suits high-mileage drivers
PPF combinationPaint protection film on front panels, coating over the topThe maximum-protection option for cars you plan to keep

Every package starts from the same foundation: thorough wash, tar and iron-fallout decontamination, paint inspection, panel wipe-down, careful application and a cure schedule explained before you collect the car.

How to choose

  • New or nearly-new car, paint in good shape → the lightest package: decontamination, light enhancement if needed, then coating. This is also where our new car service starts.

  • Used car with visible swirls → a package with proper paint correction first. Skipping this to save money is a false economy — the coating seals in the swirls.

  • You do big motorway miles → ask about adding glass coating, and consider paint protection film on the front.

  • Not sure → choose "Not sure — help me choose" on the quote form and we will recommend after hearing about the car. If the cheaper option is enough, we will say so.

Exact packages and pricing on request

We do not publish a fixed menu because the honest price depends on your car's condition. Tell us the make, model and year, and what bothers you about the paintwork, and we will come back with a firm written quote spelling out exactly what is included — preparation stages, coating tier, extras and warranty terms in writing.

Package questions

What is the difference between your packages?
Three things: how much paint preparation is included, the tier of coating applied, and whether extras like wheels, glass and trim are included. The table on this page explains each. Exact package names and pricing are confirmed with your quote.

Which package do I need?
It depends on your car's condition and what you want from it. A new car usually needs the lightest package; a used daily driver with swirled paint needs correction first. Tell us about the car and we will recommend honestly — including when the cheaper option is enough.

Can I add wheels, glass and trim to any package?
Yes — wheel, glass and trim coating can be added to a bodywork package or booked on its own. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do packages include paint protection film?
PPF is quoted separately — see our paint protection film page. Coating and film can be combined: film on the front panels, coating over everything.

Why don't you list package prices here?
Because the right package depends on your car's paint condition, which we cannot see from a web page. We would rather quote your actual car than publish prices that may not apply to it.
