Seat Leon | 7 Year Ceramic Coating
Oct

2021

It's best if you protect your car with a ceramic coating when it's brand new and unblemished, but most of the cars we coat are a few years old.

We can of course make your car like new again, that's what we are set up to do and why we named the company "New Again". But these things cost money, and you do get diminishing returns. You may have seen some other companies who apply ceramic coatings, working for days on a Ferrari to get every detail absolutely perfect, and it's arguable if that's money well spent even on a supercar.

The average customer, with the average car, can still benefit from having their car coated with ceramic paint protection, in fact more so because they have a car that they aren't going to baby and pamper, it will get used. A good, high-quality ceramic coating will make the car much easier to clean and reduce damage from tree sap, oxidization and light scratches in the future.

This car had some minor damage around it, and some will polish out and some can be reduced with cosmetic repairs. By that, we mean a little touch-up paint to help take your eye off it.

This Seat had Fireball Dok Do, a Korean product which gives an amazing finish which is guaranteed to last for 7 years. With the current global supply problems, we have had some difficulty importing this particular coating, but we have a range of ceramic coatings from several different suppliers... we have something for everybody.

Do ceramic coatings provide UV protection?

Ceramic coatings do help protect against the effects of UV, but probably not in the way you are thinking. They can't filter out UV rays like a pair of sunglasses, and thereby prevent your car's paintwork from fading, but you don't need to worry about that. The modern base coats used by car manufacturers are very UV stable, and the clear coat provides UV protection.  UV influences oxidization, and ceramic coatings are very to this, meaning that your car's paintwork won't get that cloudy, hazy sheen that makes your car look dull.
