Is ceramic coating better than wax?

Yes. Ceramic coatings last years, not months, and resist salt, chemicals and UV while adding a deep gloss and easy-clean hydrophobic surface.

Do I need paint correction first?

If you see swirls or haze, a 1- or 2-step paint correction levels defects so the coating bonds to a flawless finish.

Will ceramic coating prevent rock chips?

Ceramic adds chemical and UV resistance and slickness, but it is not a paint protection film. Pair with PPF on high-impact areas for chip resistance.

How long does the appointment take?

Typically 1–2 days depending on prep level, vehicle size and package. After application, avoid harsh chemicals for the first week.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Longevity depends on package and maintenance. Expect roughly 1–5 years with proper washing and periodic decontamination.

What paint correction fixes (and why it matters)

Swirl marks & wash marring – spider-web haze under sunlight
Scratches & Light Scuffs– shallow marks in the clear coat
Oxidation & dullness – flat, chalky paint that’s lost depth and gloss
Holograms & buffer trails – poor previous polishing work
Water spots & etching (light) – mineral deposits and stains

Result: Paint restored to its former glory- richer colour, sharper reflections, and a finish that looks freshly detailed—before you even add protection.

FAQs

Will paint correction remove all scratches?

We safely remove light to moderate defects. Deep gouges may need touch-up or spot sanding; we’ll advise what’s realistic for your vehicle.

How long will the finish last?

That depends on how you wash and protect it. Pairing correction with a ceramic coating keeps the finish glossier, cleaner, and easier to maintain for years.

Is the correction safe for my clear coat?

Yes—done properly, it removes defects from the surface and reveals a clear finish.

How do I keep it looking new?

Avoid tunnel brush washes. Use proper washing methods, soft towels, and consider protecting your vehicle with ceramic coating, waxes, or sealants. We’ll give you a simple aftercare routine at pickup.
