Ian brings studio-grade ceramic coatings, paint correction and valeting to your driveway across South Wales. The price on the page is the price.
A machine polish removes what is already there. A ceramic coating stops most of it coming back, for years, and makes every wash easier.
Prices are for a medium-sized car in normal condition. Larger vehicles are priced when you book.
Heavily soiled vehicles or pet hair may cost more. We tell you before we start, never after.
Snow foam lifts grit off before anything touches the paint, so washing does not scratch.
Book thisHand polish adds gloss. It does not remove swirl marks, that needs a machine.
Book this2 and 3 stage corrections priced on inspection
Single-stage machine polish removes most swirls and light marks and brings the gloss back. Deeper scratches need a 2 or 3 stage correction, priced on inspection.
Book thisA ceramic coating is a hard, glass-like layer bonded to the paint. Water beads off, dirt lets go, and the gloss stays for years.
Book thisSame process, a longer-lasting coating. On a new car this is the one that outlasts the finance agreement.

Excellent work carried out on my RS4 to have the car looking at its best and like new again. Paint correction carried out to remove swirls and a ceramic coat for years of protection. The interior looks great especially after the wet vac!
Wow these guys are good! Give my new car the ceramic coating treatment and what a difference, look's better than when it left the factory. Get your car booked in you won't be disappointed, Highly recommended 👌
Ian arrived exactly when we’d agreed and explained precisely what he was going to do. He was the ultimate professional and my car looked absolutely superb, like new and we agreed a timescale going forward to keep her looking pristine. Highly recommend.

No. The van carries its own water and power. All Ian needs is somewhere to park next to the car.
Yes, and it is the best time. New paint still gets a decontamination and a light polish first, because dealer preparation leaves marks.
It may cost more than the listed price. We tell you before starting, and you decide.
No. PPF needs a controlled studio environment. For stone-chip protection on the front end we will point you to a studio we trust.
