QUESTIONS,
ANSWERED.

We work from a unit in Eastbourne, East Sussex, and cover the surrounding coast and countryside including Bexhill-on-Sea, Hastings, Brighton and Hove, Lewes, Seaford, Hailsham and Polegate. All work is carried out indoors under controlled lighting, never outdoors or on a driveway.

A front-end PPF fit is typically two days. A full-body install runs to four or five days, and a correction and ceramic coating package usually takes three. We give you a firm collection date when you book rather than an open-ended estimate.

Yes, and it is the ideal time. New paint still carries transport film residue and dealer wash marks, so we decontaminate and lightly correct before fitting. Booking in the same week you collect the car means it is protected before the first motorway run.

Yes. The film and coating products carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we separately guarantee the quality of the fit. If an edge lifts or a defect appears in our workmanship, bring the car back and we will put it right.

Send us the make, model and year of your car, tell us which areas you want covered, and include a few photos of the current paint condition. We come back with a fixed price. For anything involving correction we prefer to see the car in person first, as photographs hide a great deal.

Yes, by arrangement, within a reasonable radius of Eastbourne. Customers in Bexhill, Seaford, Polegate and Hailsham use it regularly. Get in touch with your postcode and we will confirm whether we can cover it.

Use the two-bucket method with a pH-neutral shampoo and a clean microfibre mitt, and dry with a plush towel rather than a chamois. Avoid automatic car washes entirely, as the brushes are what put swirl marks into paint in the first place. We supply written aftercare with every job.

Our five-year ceramic coating is £425, and that price includes a stage 1 machine polish to correct the paint before the coating goes on. Correction matters because a coating is transparent and seals in whatever finish sits underneath it, so polishing first is not an upsell — it is what makes the coating worth having.

Between two and five years depending on the product, the number of layers and how the car is washed and stored. Maintenance washing with the right technique is the single biggest factor in reaching the upper end of that range.

They solve different problems. A ceramic coating makes a car easier to clean and holds gloss, but it is microns thick and will not stop a stone chip. PPF is a physical barrier that absorbs impact. Many customers fit PPF to the front end and coat the rest of the car.

Yes, though noticeably less often and far more easily. The coating stops dirt bonding hard to the paint, so contamination rinses away rather than needing to be worked off. We provide aftercare guidance with every coating.

Paint correction is the machine polishing of clear coat to physically remove swirl marks, wash scratches, etching and oxidation. A small amount of clear coat is levelled so the surface becomes flat and reflects light cleanly. Unlike a glaze or filler, the defect is gone rather than temporarily concealed.

In almost every case, yes. A coating is transparent and seals the paint underneath it for years, so any swirl present at application stays visible until the coating is removed. Correcting first is the difference between a protected good finish and a protected poor one.

A stage 1 machine polish is included as standard in our £425 five-year ceramic coating package, so most customers never pay for it separately. Standalone correction and heavier multi-stage work is quoted after we have seen the car, because paint condition and hardness vary far more than photographs suggest.

Salt-laden air accelerates iron fallout bonding to paint and attacks any exposed metal at chips and stone strikes. Cars kept in Eastbourne, Seaford and along the seafront benefit from more frequent decontamination than inland cars of the same age.
