What you are actually buying

A ceramic coating is a hard, transparent layer that bonds to your lacquer. Once cured it behaves like a sacrificial shell: water beads and sheets off, brake dust and traffic film struggle to stick, bird droppings and sap sit on the coating instead of etching your paint, and the gloss has a glassy depth that wax cannot match.

The practical win is every wash afterwards. Dirt releases with far less effort, which means less rubbing, which means fewer swirl marks over the life of the car.

Correction first, always

Coating uncorrected paint is the classic cheap-detailer shortcut: the coating locks every existing swirl and scratch under glass. The Yikes service includes full paint correction before the coating goes on, so what gets sealed is paint at its best.

That is also why the price is what it is. £270 (£216 for members) buys correction plus coating, rated for 2 years.

Coated cars and Yikes washes

A coated car still needs washing, just gentler washing: hand washes, clean mitts, no machine brushes. That is precisely what a Yikes mobile wash is, so the coating and our regular visits are designed for each other. Members save 20 percent on the coating and on every wash after it.

Ceramic coating questions

Good to know

How much does ceramic coating cost in London?
The Yikes 2 year Ceramic Coating is £270, or £216 for members, including the paint correction needed before coating. Prices vary slightly by vehicle size and are fixed before you pay.
What does a ceramic coating actually do?
It bonds a hard, glossy protective layer to your paint. Water beads off, dirt sticks less, washing gets easier, and the finish keeps a depth of gloss that wax cannot hold. Ours is rated for 2 years.
Is paint correction included?
Yes. Coating over swirls locks them in, so the service includes full paint correction first: the coating seals paint that has been properly corrected, not the scratches.
How do I look after a coated car?
Gentle hand washes, no machine brushes. That is exactly what we deliver: a coated car plus our regular kerbside hand washes is the easiest way to keep the finish at its best.
Can you apply a ceramic coating on my street?
Yes, the same way we deliver every service: by cargo e-bike with water and power on board. We work where your car is parked, driveway or kerbside.
Is ceramic coating worth it in London?
For a car that lives outside, usually yes: London throws tree sap, bird droppings, brake dust and winter grime at paint all year, and a coating is the difference between those bonding to your lacquer or rinsing off. Our guide covers the honest trade-offs.
