The mansion-block case for a coating

Nobody in a Randolph Avenue flat garages their car. It sits out through every season, under trees for much of the street, and the owner has no tap to give it a quick rescue rinse after a bad week. That is precisely the car a ceramic layer was invented for: the fallout lands on the coating, not the lacquer, and waits harmlessly for the next wash instead of quietly etching in.

Coated paint also stays cleaner between visits. Road film wants a surface with some bite to cling to; a slick ceramic surface gives it nothing, so the car parked outside the block simply looks washed for longer than its neighbours.

What the day looks like

The rider arrives at the bay with everything on the bike. The paint is washed, decontaminated and machine corrected until the swirls and old etching are gone, wiped back to bare clean lacquer, then coated and left to cure. You keep the space, the building stays out of it, and the car does not move all day.

Correction is included, not an extra

We treat correction and coating as one job because doing them separately shortchanges both. Sealing uncorrected paint preserves its defects beautifully; correcting without sealing hands the fresh finish straight back to the trees. The £270 covers the pair, and the price never grows after booking.

How much is ceramic coating in Maida Vale?
£270, or £229 for members, for the 2 year Ceramic Coating with machine paint correction included. The figure you see at booking is the fixed final total for your car.
I have no driveway. Can you still coat the car?
Yes, and in W9 we mostly do. The bike brings water and power to your permit bay and the whole job, correction through coating, happens beside the kerb. Set aside the best part of a day.
Why does the paint need correcting before coating?
Because a coating is transparent and permanent-ish: whatever is under it stays visible for two years. Correcting first means the coating seals a finish worth sealing rather than embalming old swirl marks.
Is a coating sensible for a car parked under the canal trees?
It is the single best argument for one. Tree sap and waterfowl mess are two of the most paint-hostile things London produces, and a coated car sheds both at the next wash instead of wearing them into the lacquer.
How do I keep the coating at its best?
Regular gentle hand washing and nothing abrasive, which is conveniently what we sell: coated cars on our rounds stay effortless because the grime never gets to grip.
