What moves the price
- Size of the vehicle — a larger car has more paint to correct and coat, so it takes more product and time.
- Type of coating used — a higher-grade coating with longer protection costs more to buy than an entry-level one.
- Level of preparation required — paint with swirls and scratches needs more polishing before the ceramic coating goes on.
- Number of layers — a multi-layer application takes longer than a single layer of coating.
- Extra areas coated — adding wheels, glass or the interior to the ceramic coating adds product and time.

How to pay less
- Choosing a single layer of ceramic coating costs less than a multi-layer application.
- Coating a newer car with little paint damage can skip most of the paint correction, which lowers the price.
- Coating only the paintwork, and leaving the wheels and interior uncoated, keeps the ceramic coating price down.
- Washing the car gently afterwards, as the installer advises, helps the ceramic coating last and delays reapplication.
- Booking ceramic coating alongside a paint correction already planned saves paying for the paint to be prepared twice.
Before you book
- Access to the vehicle and any specific areas needing attention.
- Information on the vehicle's previous treatments or coatings.
- A clean, dry space for the application process.
- Any specific concerns or preferences regarding the coating.
- You can ask whether the detailer is trained in ceramic coating application and which coating product they use on the paint.
