What is a ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating is a process that involves adding a layer of ceramic material to the surface of your car’s paint. This layer provides excellent protection against environmental factors such as UV rays, bird droppings, and tree sap, which can cause damage to your car’s paintwork. Ceramic coating also repels dirt and water, making maintaining your car’s appearance easier.

Our Motorhome was the first vehicle we had Danny give his full treatment to and my what a difference it made. No more trouble with black streaks as the brilliant surface just beads water and contamination, which just runs off on its own or with application shampoo and water. Just last week we took in our Seat Leon for ceramic treatment. The car we picked up on Saturday looks as good as when it was collected brand new five years ago. In actual fact, my daughter used the words “stunning” and “amazing”and better than when new. The Leon now has such a deep shine that reflects all around it and sparkles in the winter sunshine. The metallic fleck in the paint is brought to the fore by the deep gloss coating finish.Yet another great job Danny; we will be seeing you again soon with another project.
Response from the owner: Thankyou for taking the time to review our services and my business. Your wordsean everything to us and perspective new customers. Thanks again.

From the very first contact through to the car being delivered home to me the service from Danny has been exceptional.After making the initial enquiry this was followed up very quickly by Danny, consultation call booked, and during the call all the options were clearly set out along with the costs.Booked for a date to suit me, collected car from my home as arranged.There were some serious issues with the paint in my car but Danny and this team sorted these out and the returned car super shiny, with a great wet look finish and fresh and clean inside.For a 14 year old car that is kept outside the way it looks now is superb, looks as if it’s been garaged all the time.I’d recommend Danny to anyone for the friendly business like manner he works with you to get your desired results, being flexible and professional, and for the obvious high level of skill he and the team display.
Response from the owner: Thankyou very much for your review It's been a pleasure to return your car to its former glory. We hope you enjoying motoring more now.

Danny and his team at Wash n Gloss have made my car look like it did when I first bought it.My car is black, but it was only when I picked it up having been treated by the team at wash n gloss that I realised it was going grey by comparison.The team have managed to restore that original depth of colour.

My Audi S5 was particularly bad. The paintwork has endless marks on it, some of which were pretty deep. Danny spent a lot of time getting the paintwork back to a mirror finish before a final ceramic coating. Extremely pleased with the end result. Would highly recommend.

I used the Wash N Gloss team to give my M140 an 18month ceramic coating on the body and wheels. I can only say the service was excellent from start to finish and the car looks stunning, the paintwork pops now, all I have to do is wait for it to rain to test the hydroscopic properties! Hopefully this is some time off.
Response from the owner: Wow...think its hydrophobic lol. But the car did look amazing and we Thankyou. 👌✨️✨️Thanks for the review 👌

It has a consistent film that is more durable and resistant to road salt and washes chemicals than its predecessors. Application is easy, with a slow flash-off time, giving more time to achieve a perfect finish.

CRYSTAL SERUM ULTRA

From£575+ VAT

  • 10h paint protection
  • 9-year guarantee
  • Matchless levels of gloss, surface slickness, swirl and chemical resistance

Why Crystal Serum Ultra?

Crystal Serum Ultra is the best paint protection you can get, it keeps your car looking glossy and new, prolonging the life of your paintworks perfect finish.

Key to Crystal Serum Ultras performance gain is the introduction of a revolutionary new 7nm nanoparticle alongside an existing 20nm nanoparticle and increasing the ratio of crosslinkers which reinforce and thicken the top layer of the coating.

The hard 10h top and softer 7h base layer offer improved swirl resistance over regular 9h paint protection coatings. Compared to standard ceramic paint coatings, Crystal Serum Ultra can withstand even the strongest wash chemicals and bird droppings.

An additional benefit from having a flexible base layer and the hard top layer is that Crystal Serum Ultra is very resistant to extreme heat changes, even from -40 degrees Celsius to +250 degrees Celsius.

Crystal Serum Ultra can be applied either as a stand-alone paint protection product or for the best hydrophobic performance, it can be over coated with Gtechniq EXO or C2.
The specialist nature of this paint protection means it can only be applied by a Gtechniq Accredited Detailer.

Frequently asked questions

What is ceramic coating, and how does it work?

Ceramic coating is a transparent, liquid polymer that is applied to a car’s paint surface to protect and enhance it. It works by bonding with the car’s surface, creating a layer of protection that is much more durable than wax or sealant.

What is the best ceramic coating for my car?

The best ceramic coating for your car depends on several factors, including the level of protection you require, your budget, and your car type. GTechniq and Quartz are high-quality ceramic products with impressive durability and shine.

How long does a ceramic coating last on a car?

Properly maintained ceramic coatings can last up to 2 years or more. However, the coating’s durability can vary depending on the level of protection required, the type of ceramic product used, and how often the car is washed.

How do we apply a ceramic coating to my car?

Applying a ceramic coating to your car requires some preparation and skill. It’s best to have a professional detailer like Wash n Gloss apply the coating, as they have the necessary tools and expertise to ensure a flawless finish. However, some ceramic coatings can be applied by car enthusiasts using a DIY kit and an applicator pad, although not recommended.

What are the benefits of ceramic coating over car wax?

The ceramic coating offers several benefits over traditional car wax, including improved durability, protection against UV rays, and ease of maintenance. It also provides a high-gloss finish and hydrophobic properties, meaning water beads and slides off the car’s surface.

What other services do we offer?

We provide other outstanding services at the Wash n Gloss Studio, but we want to mention our mobile valet service. This is where we come to you to valet your vehicle professionally, and yes, we offer our mobile valet to Portsmouth residents and commercial businesses.

How long does a ceramic coating take to cure?

A ceramic coating typically takes 24 hours to cure fully. The coating should not be exposed to water or harsh chemicals during this time.

Can a ceramic coating protect my car from scratches and paint chips?

While ceramic coating cannot wholly prevent scratches or paint chips, it offers considerable protection against them. The coating can also make removing light scratches and other blemishes from the car’s surface easier.

What is the difference between ceramic coating and paint protection film?

Ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF) protect against scratches and UV damage. However, PPF provides a thicker layer of protection and is better suited for cars exposed to harsher environments. Ceramic coating is typically more affordable and easier to apply.

Check out our paint protection film for Portsmouth.

How do I maintain my ceramic-coated car?

Maintaining a ceramic-coated car is relatively easy. Wash the car with high-quality shampoo and a foam gun or mitt, dry with a microfiber cloth, and use a quick detailer to remove any remaining residue. Decontaminate the car’s surface once every six months using a clay bar or iron remover.

Can I apply ceramic coating myself?

While it is possible to apply the ceramic coating yourself, it requires considerable skill and expertise. It’s best to have a professional detailer apply the coating for optimal results. However, some ceramic coatings offer easy application formulas and come with applicator pads, making them more accessible for real car enthusiasts.
