Professional ceramic coating with proper decontamination, paint preparation and inspection before protection is applied.
A coating adds a protective surface with hydrophobic behavior, improved gloss and resistance to bonded contamination and some environmental chemicals. Regular washing becomes easier when the finish is prepared and maintained correctly.
Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof, permanent or maintenance-free. It will not repair existing paint defects, stop stone chips or guarantee that water spots and etching cannot occur. Prompt cleaning still matters.
Preparation before protection
Bonded contamination, polishing residue and existing defects affect the final finish. Spade inspects the paint, removes contamination and agrees on the correction scope before application. A new vehicle still needs inspection; it does not automatically need aggressive polishing.
Many vehicles benefit from paint correction before ceramic coating. The recommendation depends on the paint, not a fixed defect-removal promise.
The current coating menu uses Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition, correction and workspace. Confirm the coating system and exact inclusions in your written quote.
Entry-level preparation and professional coating installation. Correction requirements and final scope are assessed before booking.
Decontamination, light enhancement polishing, panel preparation, CSL installation and initial aftercare guidance.
Condition-appropriate correction, decontamination, panel preparation, CSL installation, exterior glass protection and maintenance guidance.
More extensive preparation and multi-stage correction where appropriate, CSL installation, exterior glass and wheel protection, plus the quoted ongoing-care provisions.
These are starting prices, not a quote for an unseen vehicle. Durability depends on use, storage, washing and maintenance. Ask for the exact care requirements and any applicable written product terms.
For owners who want easier washing and a finish they can maintain. Storage, mileage and willingness to wash correctly matter as much as the vehicle badge.
Inspect the finish before sealing in its condition. Delivery marks, transport contamination or dealership washing may call for preparation; correction is recommended only where useful.
If swirls or haze bother you now, discuss them before coating. A test spot helps establish what can safely improve and which defects should remain.
Wheel protection can make brake-dust cleanup easier. Wheel finish, accessible surfaces and preparation determine the scope; coating does not keep wheels permanently clean.
Follow the product-specific curing and first-wash instructions supplied after installation. Use a gentle wash method, clean towels and appropriate products. Avoid abrasive automatic brushes, dry the vehicle and remove bird droppings or mineral deposits promptly.
Changes in water behavior may indicate contamination rather than coating failure. Ask for an assessment before using aggressive cleaners or polishing. Recurring maintenance care is available for owners who prefer help.
The documented project follows cleaning, decontamination and paint evaluation before protection. It shows preparation work, not a measured durability or defect-removal result.
