Correction levels are estimates rather than guarantees. Paint depth, hardness, previous work or repairs and defect severity are assessed before work begins, and we will never chase defects where doing so could compromise the paintwork or finished product.
Ceramic coating - Consultation led protection
Ceramic coatings create a durable, hydrophobic layer that bonds to your vehicle’s paintwork - enhancing gloss, improving ease of maintenance and providing long lasting protection and help prevent environmental contaminants from damaging your vehicle.
Every vehicle, owner and maintenance routine is different. that is why all ceramic coating services at Valerius Detailing are consultation led.
Why Consultation led?
Ceramic coatings are not a one-size-fits-all product.
Different professional coatings offer different levels of durability, gloss, chemical resistance and maintenance requirements. Rather than simply recommending the most expensive option, we select a coating based on what is genuinely suitable for your vehicle and how you use it.
-
The coating brand selected.
-
The level of durability required.
-
The condition of the vehicle’s paintwork.
-
The preparation and correction needed before application
We consider:
Preparation & aftercare Matter
A ceramic coating will only perform as well as the surface beneath it.
Correct preparation and correct aftercare are essential for ceramic coatings to perform as intended, where required machine polishing or correction - is essential to achieve the best possible finish, bonding and longevity.
Correct maintenance is equally important, we will advise you on how to care for your vehicle after the coating has been applied. things like Incorrect washing techniques, harsh chemicals, or lack of maintenance can significantly reduce the lifespan and effectiveness of a coating — regardless of brand or claimed durability.
During your consultation, we will assess your vehicle’s paint condition
Recommend a suitable coating based on how you use your car.
No pressure on choosing the most expensive coating.
This ensures the coating selected is appropriate for your vehicle and expectations, and your maintenance routine to deliver the best possible long term results and not just purchasing the most expensive one.
