Our four services
We do four things, and we do them properly. Every service page below links to the other three — because the right answer is often a combination, like paint correction followed by ceramic coating or PPF.
Paint Correction
Single-stage enhancement through multi-stage correction that permanently removes swirl marks, holograms, light scratches and oxidation from the clear coat.
- Swirl & hologram removal
- Paint thickness measured
- Inspection lighting
Machine Polishing
Single-stage machine polishing with DA and rotary polishers to remove light defects, restore gloss and revive dull or hazy paint — ideal before selling.
- Pre-sale refresh
- Gloss restoration
- Pre-coating preparation
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Self-healing TPU paint protection film — the only protection that physically stops stone chips. Partial-front, full-front, track pack and full-body coverage.
- Stone-chip protection
- Self-healing film
- Virtually invisible

Stone chips on the motorway are my biggest worry
→ Paint protection film (PPF).
Self-healing TPU film is the only protection that physically stops stone chips. Full-front coverage protects the bonnet, bumper, wings and mirrors.
Read about paint protection film (ppf) →If…
My car looks dull or hazy, or I'm selling it soon
→ Machine polishing.
A single-stage paint enhancement removes light swirls and restores gloss in a day — ideal as a pre-sale refresh or as preparation before coating or film.
Read about machine polishing →If…
I've just bought a new car
→ New-car paint protection.
Around 95% of new cars arrive with minor defects from factory, transport or dealer prep. We correct them, then protect with ceramic coating or PPF before damage accumulates.
Read about new-car paint protection →| Feature | Ceramic coating | Paint protection film | Wax / sealant |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Nano-ceramic (SiO2) liquid coating bonded to the paint | Self-healing TPU film physically applied to panels | Sacrificial layer sitting on top of the paint |
| Stone-chip protection | No — not a substitute for PPF against chips | Yes — the only option that physically stops chips | No |
| Hydrophobics & easier washing | Excellent | Good (better with ceramic on top) | Moderate, short-lived |
| UV & chemical resistance | Strong | Strong | Limited |
| Gloss | Deep, candy-like gloss | Deepens gloss; satin/matte options | Warm glow, fades quickly |
| Best for | Daily drivers & new cars wanting gloss and easy maintenance | Motorway commuters, new cars & high-value cars facing chips | Short-term shine on a budget |
The ultimate combination for many Warrington drivers: PPF on the high-impact front end, with a ceramic coating over the top for hydrophobics and easier washing.

Warrington's driving takes it out of paintwork
Warrington sits at the crossroads of the North West — the M6 (Junctions 20, 21, 22), the M62 (Junctions 9, 10, 11) and the M56 all feed through or past the town, and plenty of our customers commute daily toward Manchester, Liverpool, Birchwood Park or the Omega development. That means stone chips, tar spots, iron fallout from brake dust and road film build up fast — especially through winter when road salt is about.
Frequent rain keeps cars dirty, and dirty cars washed badly develop swirl marks. It's the most common paint defect we correct in Warrington. If your car lives on the motorway, ask us about PPF for the front end; if it lives on the driveway and you want it glossy and easy to wash, ceramic coating after a machine polish is the answer.
