CERAMIC COATING

Mirror-deep finish.
Years of protection.

GTECHNIQ-accredited ceramic packages with full paint correction included. Multi-year protection that turns weekly washes into 10-minute rinses.

WHAT IS A CERAMIC COATING

A multi-year liquid polymer
that bonds with your paint.

A ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat to lock in gloss, repel water and dirt, block UV, and resist chemical etching. Properly installed — with full paint correction first — it lasts between two and nine years depending on the tier you choose.

The studio that does it well is the one that takes the time to correct the paint first. Coating over swirls and oxidation just locks the problem in. That's why every Harford ceramic includes multi-stage correction before the coating goes on.

EVERY PACKAGE INCLUDES

The work that goes on
before the coating.

01

Multi-stage decontamination wash.

Every contaminant — tar, iron particles, road grime — pulled out of the clear coat before we touch it with a polisher. This is the step most "ceramic" jobs near you skip.

02

Paint correction.

1, 2 or multi-stage depending on tier. We restore the paint to its absolute best state. Swirl marks, light scratches, hazing — gone. The coating only seals what's underneath, so what's underneath has to be right.

03

Coating application.

GTECHNIQ-accredited ceramic top layer applied by hand, panel by panel, in a climate-controlled environment. Then a slow controlled cure.

04

Aftercare + warranty.

You leave with a written manufacturer warranty, the Harford aftercare kit (pH-neutral wash soap, microfibre cloths, instructions) and a direct line to us for any questions.

ACCREDITED INSTALLER

GTECHNIQ.

British-engineered ceramic, used on McLaren factory programs. Every Harford ceramic carries a GTECHNIQ-backed warranty.

CERAMIC FAQ

Common questions.

How long does ceramic coating last?
Our coatings deliver 5 to 9 years of protection depending on the package, with full paint correction always included.
When can I wash after a coating?
Leave it 7 days while the coating cures. After that, hand-wash with pH-neutral soap — no drive-thrus.
Will ceramic remove existing scratches?
Every package includes paint correction first. Light scratches, swirls and hazing are corrected before the coating goes on — so yes, in most cases.
Should I coat a brand new car?
Absolutely. Factory paint isn't perfect — we correct it, then lock in that finish for years. New cars are the best candidates for a coating.
How long will my car be with you?
2 to 3 days depending on the package and size of the vehicle. We'll confirm the exact window at booking.
