8-Year Ceramic Protection
BMW M3 with a Matrix Black Ceramic Coating. Outstanding protection.
Matrix Black Ceramic Coating provides a hard, clear barrier to protect your paintwork against the effects of weather, washing abrasion, chemicals and environmental contaminants. The treatment forms a clear, glossy glass-like shell, bonded to your paintwork, which is guaranteed not to crack or wear off unlike traditional wax coatings.
Ceramic Coatings are literally like giving your car a microscopic coating of glass, leaving the finish tough and incredibly shiny. If you want to find out all about them, please see our Definitive Guide to Ceramic Coatings.
MATRIX BLACK IN 5 DIMENSIONS
Multi Dimensional Performance Dynamics
MATRIX BLACK Ceramic coating uses the latest generation ceramic technology to deliver a complete solution to the appearance of every aspect of the vehicle.
ULTIMATE SHINE - Matrix provides a crystalline ceramic finish with superior optical purity. With a 9H Pencil Test rating, the coating is tough enough to resist micro-scratches from road grime and washing, maintaining a high shine which dirt can't stick to. It's just like wrapping your car in glass.
HIGH DEFINITION COLOUR ENRICHMENT - This ceramic coating enriches colour vibrancy, making them clearer, richer and making a metallic finish really 'Pop'.
ULTRA HYDROPHOBIC SUPER SLICK FINISH - Matrix really is outstanding when it comes to repelling water. We have tested this, and it's outstanding, water just beads up and rolls off, taking dirt and grime with it. This makes washing easy, but you will find that your car will stay cleaner and glossier for longer, meaning you will go much further between washes.
UP TO 8 YEARS DURABILITY - Keeps your car looking shiny and new for longer and requiring less maintenance, the ceramic micro-coating fully bonds to your paintwork and is guaranteed not to crack or peel. The Matrix system also provides coatings for your wheel and glass, giving you all-round exterior protection. Matrix ceramic coatings add value to your investment and help your car to maintain its value.

Is Matrix Black scratch resistant?
Ceramic coatings are tough and will help resist wash marks and light scratches, the kind you might get when you brush past the rhododendrons in your driveway when you park the car. It certainly toughens up the paint, but it doesn't make it bulletproof.
What is the durability of Matrix Black?
Autosmart warranty Matrix Black Ceramic Coating for 8 years, and we back that warranty. However, our experience with paint protection coatings would suggest it lasts far longer. We have seen polymer coatings which are guaranteed for 5 years, last for fifteen years, and we believe ceramic is far superior to polymer.
Why is Matrix Black so expensive?
Our prices are inclusive. The price quoted will include full preparation of the car's paintwork, that's why the prices for new cars are less. The paintwork need to be as good as it gets before the sealant goes on because it's permanent. It's also incredibly unforgiving - it isn't hugely difficult to apply, but there is practically zero margin for error.
Can I wax over the top of a ceramic coating?
You can apply a wax over a ceramic coating, but you really don't need to. You can if you want to, it won't do it any harm, but we can't guarantee it will stick well to the car! If you do, we'd suggest a wash'n'wax type product, however Autosmart do a top-up for Matrix Black called Reload which we apply.
