Ceramic coating being applied by hand to prepared vehicle paint

Ceramic coating

Ceramic coating packages in Hamilton

A ceramic coating adds a durable, hand-applied layer over your paint that makes routine washing easier and resists everyday environmental contamination. We offer three packages so the coating, its expected service life and its warranty can be matched to how long you plan to keep the vehicle.

Looking for ceramic protection instead?

Ceramic protection is a single layer of ceramic protection, added to an Ultimate Detail or booked on its own. It is a different, lighter service — not one of the coating packages below.

Pricing by vehicle size

Size sets the price, not guesswork.

Prices are before HST, which is added when you book. Commercial vehicles are quoted individually. The exact figure for your vehicle is shown before booking confirmation.

Before we start: paint condition

The displayed price covers the selected ceramic coating service for the chosen vehicle category. Paint correction, excessive contamination, previous coating removal, or other condition-dependent preparation may cost extra. Any additional work and pricing will be discussed with you and approved before it begins.

Paint correction is never folded into a coating price. If we think your paint needs enhancement or correction, we quote it separately and wait for your approval before starting.

The free touch-up offered with a detailing bundle is chip touch-up using a colour-matched pen you bring with you. It is not machine paint correction.

How the work runs

From drop-off to cured paint.

  1. 01

    Paint assessment

    We inspect condition, previous protection and contamination, and tell you before we start if anything beyond the package price is needed.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    The vehicle is washed, chemically and mechanically decontaminated and dried ready for application.

  3. 03

    Application and cure

    The coating is applied by hand, panel by panel, under controlled conditions and given its initial cure before collection.

Who a coating suits

  • New vehicles that need an easier-care protection plan
  • Corrected paint that should retain its finish
  • Daily drivers exposed to Hamilton winters
  • Owners prepared to follow safe washing and aftercare

Curing and aftercare

Avoid washing during the initial cure period stated at pickup. After that, use a pH-appropriate shampoo and a safe wash method; periodic maintenance inspections help protect performance and keep a warranty in good standing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ceramic protection and ceramic coating?

Ceramic protection is a single layer of ceramic protection, offered as an add-on to an Ultimate Detail or as a standalone service. Ceramic coating is our full premium coating service, available as the Crystal, Pro and Max packages, with more preparation, a longer service life and, on Pro and Max, a warranty.

Does ceramic coating stop scratches or stone chips?

No. A coating helps with contamination and maintenance but is not a substitute for paint protection film against physical impacts.

Is paint correction included in the package price?

No. The package price covers the coating service for your vehicle category. If your paint needs enhancement or correction we quote it separately and wait for your approval before starting it.

Which package comes with a warranty?

Pro carries a six-year coating warranty and Max carries a ten-year coating warranty. Crystal is offered without a warranty.

How long does the vehicle need to stay with you?

A coating takes most of a working day, so you book the date rather than a time slot and we contact you to arrange the drop-off. We confirm the collection time with you once we have seen the paint.
