Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating in County Down
Is your cars paintwork looking tired and dull or have lots of swirl marks? Don't worry! This can be restored and protected with our paint correction and ceramic coating packages.
Why ceramic coat your car?
A ceramic coating will add an extra depth of gloss to your cars paintwork as well as having a number of other added benefits such as UV protection, ease of washing and helps reduce the risk of new swirl marks when the car is washed correctly.Â
This should only be done however after having fully prepared the paintwork with a paint correction, otherwise you are just locking in those defects for years to come.Â
How long does it take?
The preparation is the most significant factor here and usually takes 2-3 days to complete. Once the paintwork has been thoroughly cleaned and machine-polished, and subsequently cleaned with panel wipe, the ceramic coating is carefully applied.
How long does the ceramic coating last?
We offer a range of ceramic coatings, which range from 12 months to 5 years.
Do I need to do anything to my new coating after it has been applied?
Yes, but it is very easy to do and requires minimal effort. This is also a service which I can do for you if you wish.
