Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. Once cured, it forms a hard, protective layer that shields the paintwork from environmental damage, scratches, and chemical stains, while enhancing its gloss and colour depth.
The lifespan of a ceramic coating varies based on the product quality and maintenance, but high-quality coatings can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years, or even longer with proper care.
While there are DIY ceramic coating kits available, the application process requires a certain level of skill to avoid high spots or streaks. For optimal results, we recommend having a professional apply the coating.
Ceramic coating offers a certain level of protection against minor scratches, but it is not completely scratch-proof. It provides a strong protective layer over the paint, but heavy or sharp objects can still cause damage.
While ceramic coatings reduce the frequency of car washes due to their hydrophobic properties, regular maintenance is still essential. It's advisable to wash the vehicle using a pH-neutral shampoo to maintain the coating's longevity and shine.
Yes, ceramic coatings can be removed but the process usually involves abrasion such as wet sanding or using a high-abrasive polish. This should be performed by a professional to avoid damaging the paintwork.

Paint correction is a detailed process involving the removal of surface imperfections from a vehicle's paintwork. These imperfections might include swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and etching. The process restores the paintwork to its original, flawless condition.
Yes, ceramic coating is safe for all types of vehicles. However, it's crucial to ensure that the vehicle's surface is properly prepped, usually with a full decontamination wash and paint correction, before the ceramic coating is applied for optimal results.
While a regular car wash focuses on removing dirt and grime from your vehicle's surface, paint correction is a more detailed process that involves removing imperfections from the paint itself. This is typically done through a multistage process including claying, polishing, and compounding.
Paint correction can remove most minor surface scratches and swirl marks. However, deep scratches that penetrate beyond the clear coat layer may not be fully removable with paint correction alone and may require more extensive repairs.
Yes, window tinting can be removed. However, it's a delicate process and should ideally be performed by a professional to avoid damaging the glass.
Window tinting involves applying a thin laminate film to a vehicle's windows to darken them. It enhances privacy, reduces heat and glare, and provides protection from UV rays.
The frequency of paint correction depends on the vehicle's exposure to harsh conditions and its general upkeep. Typically, undergoing paint correction every 1-2 years can keep your vehicle looking its best.
Yes, window tinting is legal, but laws regarding how dark you can tint your windows vary by location. It's best to check local regulations to ensure compliance.

Yes, high-quality window tints can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting both you and your car's interior from potential sun damage.
While window tinting darkens your windows, it doesn't significantly hinder your visibility during the day. However, darker tints may affect visibility during night driving.

Paint Protection Film, or PPF, is a clear or colored polyurethane film that is applied to vehicles to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions. It's like a shield that defends your vehicle's paint job against the everyday wear and tear experienced on the road.
