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.

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. When you do wash your car, it's easy.

Matrix Black – Ceramic Coating FAQs

Is Matrix Black only for black cars?

No — Matrix Black works on any colour. It looks incredible on black and other dark colours, and it’s exceptional on pearlescent metallic finishes, but it’s formulated to enhance and protect all paint colours.

Is Matrix Black scratch resistant?

Yes, to a point. Ceramic coatings are tough and help resist wash marks and light scratches — the sort you get brushing past hedges or rhododendrons. It noticeably toughens the paint, but it isn’t bulletproof.

What’s the durability of Matrix Black?

Autosmart warranties Matrix Black for 8 years, and we stand behind that. In our experience, quality paint protection often lasts far longer in the real world. We’ve seen older polymer coatings exceed their guarantees, and ceramics are typically more durable than polymer.

Why is Matrix Black so expensive?

Our prices are inclusive of full paintwork preparation. New cars are cheaper because they usually need less correction. The coating is permanent and unforgiving, so the paint has to be as good as it gets before application — there’s virtually zero margin for error.

Can I wax over a ceramic coating?

You can, but you probably won’t need to. Wax won’t harm the coating, though some products may not bond perfectly. If you want extra gloss between washes, a wash-and-wax product is fine, or use Autosmart’s Matrix Black top-up, Recharge, which we can apply for you.
