FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A professionally applied coating performs for several years rather than the weeks a wax lasts. The bigger factor is how the car is washed afterwards: automatic car washes and dirty wash mitts wear a coating down far faster than weather does. We provide a maintenance routine with every coating, and following it is what determines whether you reach the upper end of that range.

They solve different problems. A ceramic coating changes how the surface behaves chemically: it repels water, resists etching and makes cleaning easier. Paint protection film is a physical barrier that stops stone chips and abrasion reaching the paint at all. Many cars get both, with film on the impact areas and coating over the rest.

An interior detail is usually a single day. Paint correction depends on the condition of the finish and the number of stages required, typically one to three days. Full-body film work takes longer because panels are removed and the film needs time to settle. We confirm timing after inspecting the vehicle rather than quoting from a photograph.

Yes, for anything beyond a quick inspection. Correction and film work are booked as dedicated bay time, and the preparation stages cannot be rushed without affecting the result. Get in touch with your vehicle and what you are looking for, and we will come back with a realistic slot.

Almost any, but not indefinitely. Correction works by removing a controlled amount of clear coat, and clear coat is finite. We measure paint depth throughout, and on a car that has already been machine polished several times, or on panels with thin repaint, we will recommend a lighter approach rather than risk breaking through.

It depends where the vehicle is registered, and limits usually differ between front and rear glass. We fit to the limits that apply to you and tell you what is compliant before any film is cut. If you are after heat rejection rather than a darker look, modern ceramic films achieve that at legal levels.

The evaporator behind your dashboard stays damp, and bacteria grow on it. That is what you are smelling, and air fresheners only mask it. Treatment applied through the ventilation system reaches the evaporator directly, and the cabin filter needs replacing at the same time or the new growth starts again within weeks.
