What is ceramic coating?

A hard, glossy protective layer bonded to prepared paintwork. It repels water and dirt, makes washing easier and keeps the finish looking new for longer. Usually quoted after the paint is assessed.

Signs you need it

  • Paint looks dull even after washing
  • Water no longer beads on the paint
  • You want long-lasting protection on a new or freshly polished car

How it works

  1. Inspection of the paint and agreement on the level of correction
  2. Thorough wash and decontamination (tar, iron fallout)
  3. Paint correction if needed
  4. Application of the coating panel by panel
  5. Curing time before the car goes back on the road

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Size of the vehicle
  • Paint condition and how much correction is needed
  • Product and number of layers

Tips

  • Wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and avoid automatic brush washes
  • Ask how long the coating needs to cure before washing
  • Keep the aftercare sheet from your provider

Why it matters

A coating protects your paint from UV, bird droppings and grime, and makes every wash quicker — protecting the value of your vehicle.

FAQ

Ceramic Coating: your questions

Didn't find your answer?

Help centre
How long does a ceramic coating last?

It depends on the product, how well the paint was prepared and how the car is washed. Your provider will tell you what to expect for the coating they use and how to look after it.

Can I wash my car straight after?

Coatings need time to cure. Most providers ask you to avoid washing for a short period — follow the aftercare instructions you're given.

Does a coating stop scratches and stone chips?

It adds a hard, slick layer that helps with light marks and makes cleaning easier, but it won't stop stone chips. For that, paint protection film is the usual option.

Can ceramic coating be done at my home or work?

Yes. Mobile professionals can do ceramic coating at your home, work or depot, or you can visit a workshop. Choose "At my place" when you request quotes.
