Even a brand-new or well-kept car develops fine cobweb swirl marks from sponge washing, automated car washes and road grit. Those microscopic scratches scatter light and make paintwork look flat.
In our ceramic coating bay at Moulton Park, we machine polish the bodywork first to level the clear coat back to a deep, showroom gloss, then apply a 5-year ceramic coating that cures into a hard, hydrophobic shield.

See ceramic coating detailsCeramic protection is not only for exterior paintwork. Our interior car detailing Premium package (from £130) includes deep fabric or leather seat cleaning followed by a dedicated interior ceramic coating that repels spills and stops blue denim dye transfer on light leather seats.
While ceramic coating stops chemical etching and swirl marks, high-impact front zones benefit from physical film. We offer headlight restoration and clear PPF to shield lenses and vulnerable paintwork against motorway stone chips, and car window tinting to block 99% of UV inside the cabin.
Machine polishing is a corrective process that removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation from your car's clear coat to restore deep gloss. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied afterwards that chemically bonds to the freshly polished paint to lock in that shine and protect it for 5 years.
Traditional carnauba wax or spray sealants sit on top of the paint and wash away after 4 to 12 weeks of UK rain, road salt and car washes. The ceramic coating we apply at Tinting Brothers is a 5-year ceramic coating that forms a semi-permanent bond with your lacquer.
At Tinting Brothers, full machine polishing with a 5-year ceramic coating costs £250 for a small car, £300 for a medium car, £350 for a large car and £400 for an XL or 4x4.
A ceramic coating is completely transparent and locks in whatever surface is underneath it. If you apply a 5-year coating over unpolished paint, you trap swirl marks, wash marring and dullness under a hard glass-like layer. Machine polishing first ensures the paint looks like a mirror before it is sealed.
Ceramic coating protects against UV fading, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, chemical staining and wash-induced swirl marks, and makes mud and water bead off effortlessly. However, to stop physical high-speed stone chips on front bumpers or headlights, you need clear Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Yes. Our Premium interior detailing package (from £130) includes ceramic coating for fabric or leather seats to guard against dye transfer, coffee spills and staining.
