Ceramic Coating for Bournemouth cars
Salt is the main enemy of paint in Bournemouth. A coating will not stop spray landing on the car, but it stops it bonding, so a quick rinse after a windy week on the East Cliff or in Southbourne takes it straight off. Coatings also cope well with the sap and bird lime that are common under the pines, as long as you remove them within a day or two.
Bournemouth's seven miles of beach are wonderful for everything except your car. Onshore winds carry salt spray well inland, the clifftop roads collect sand, and the pines around Talbot Woods and Branksome drop sap that bakes onto roofs in summer. Southbourne and Tuckton sit right on the cliff and river, so cars there tend to see the worst of the salt.
The work
What the work involves
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your car's clear coat and cures into a hard, slick layer. Done properly, it keeps paint glossy for years rather than weeks, makes washing far quicker and stops road salt, bird lime and tree sap etching straight into the lacquer.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can't see yours? Add it to your enquiry and we'll answer it with your quote.
Do you cover all of Bournemouth?
Yes, we cover Bournemouth, including Southbourne, Boscombe, Westbourne, Winton, Kinson and Talbot Woods. For nearby villages, include your postcode and we'll confirm.
Will the ceramic coating be done at my home?
Many Bournemouth flats and terraces have on-street or shared parking, so for longer jobs we'll discuss a suitable covered location.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
It depends on the product and how the car is washed. Coatings range from entry-level products to longer-life systems, and regular safe washing makes a big difference to how long any of them perform. We'll explain the options and the aftercare each one needs when we quote.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
If you keep a car for several years and wash it yourself, usually yes: it stays glossier and cleans far faster. If you change cars every year or only use an automatic car wash, a good sealant may be better value.
