Ceramic Coating near Glasgow

What is Ceramic Coating?

The easiest way to think of Ceramic Coating is that it’s a top coat for the surfaces of your car including paint, plastics, metal, glass and wheels.

Ceramic Coating is usually available in small 30ml-50ml bottles, which contain Silicon Dioxide or SiO2 nano particles suspended in a resin carrier. 

When applied to your vehicle surfaces, the Ceramic particles bond with the surface to create a semi-permanent crystal clear protective layer, which is chemically resistant, scratch resistant and protects against environment contamination and UV rays. 

In 2023 Ceramic Coating over took Car Wax as the most popular form of paint protection for cars in the UK, according to data from Google Trends.

Can I apply ceramic coating myself? 

It’s understandable that as a vehicle owner, you might consider applying ceramic coating yourself. Technically, yes, you can attempt to Do-It-Yourself – there are many DIY ceramic coatings and technology improvements have made products even easier to use. However, we strongly recommend professional application for a few crucial reasons.

1. Choosing the right ceramic coating product from the 100s and 1000s available online and in shops can be a challenge in itself – Amazon have over 430 ceramic coating products available at the time of writing this, but they’re not all equal. For instance 2 of the top 3 products on Amazon are not Ceramic Coatings. One is a spray wax, with a very small amount of ceramic infused and the second is a car shampoo with ceramic infused. If you’re looking for a durable protective coating for your car these products aren’t it. 
2. We have access to a range of professional ceramic coatings that are not available to the public
3. Many professional ceramic coatings require a precise and meticulous application process. Mistakes in the process can result in high spots which if not corrected immediately require machine polishing to remove.
4. In most cases, machine polishing is required in preparation for ceramic coating application to ensure the paintwork is smooth and free of visible defects and that’s in addition to a fully detailed safe wash, chemical decontamination, and clay-barring.

While the DIY route might seem cost-effective initially, remember that a professionally applied ceramic coating provides superior, longer-lasting protection for your vehicle, making it a worthwhile investment in the long run. So, for the best results and to ensure your vehicle gets the care it deserves, we recommend using professional ceramic coating services like ours.

What is Machine Polishing?

Machine polishing is a process used to remove surface imperfections from vehicle paint such as swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches.

It utilizes specialized compounds and pads applied with an electric machine polisher to restore the clear coat of the car.

The result of machine polishing is a smooth, glossy finish that looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. The process can also be used for paint correction in which deeper scratches are removed or corrected to bring back showroom quality shine.

Machine polishing requires a great deal of skill and knowledge about different compounds and techniques to achieve optimal results.
