INSIDE EVERY JOB
The Same Three Stages, on Every Vehicle
STAGE 01
Decontamination Wash
Multi bucket safe wash, iron fallout removal, tar removal, clay bar across every panel.
STAGE 02
Single Stage Polish
Machine polish to lift swirl marks and light defects before coating goes anywhere near the paint.
STAGE 03
Coating Application
Coating applied panel by panel under controlled lighting, levelled, and left to flash off.
STANDARD INCLUSIONS
What's Included as Standard - Even Though Others Charge Extra
The reason my pricing looks fair when you compare like for like: I include the work other companies treat as add ons. Here’s what’s already in every package no asterisks, no upsells.
Single Stage Machine Polish
Typically charged separately at £200–£400. Not by me. Every coating job starts with a full machine polish to lift swirl marks, light defects, and oxidation because applying ceramic coating over damaged paint just locks the damage in for 5–10 years.
Full Decontamination Wash
Two bucket safe wash, iron fallout removal, tar removal, and clay bar treatment across every panel. The paint has to be chemically and physically clean before coating anything less and the coating won’t bond properly.
Warranty Documentation
Full warranty paperwork in your name, transferable on resale, with maintenance guidelines. Not a verbal promise an actual paperwork you can produce if you ever need to make a claim.
Travel Across Greater Manchester
No mileage charges, no postcode surcharges, no “outside our usual area” fees within Greater Manchester. From Wigan to Stockport, Bolton to Ashton same price.
Aftercare Maintenance Guide
Plain English guide covering how to wash a coated car, what products to avoid, recommended decontamination intervals, and what to do if you spot a problem. Following it keeps the warranty valid.
Fixed Pricing, Agreed Upfront
The price quoted at booking is the price paid at completion. No “found extra work” mid-job. If something genuinely changes the spec, I flag it before doing anything never after.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
Add Ons - Only If You Want Them
Three optional extras, priced separately from the main packages. These genuinely add value for some cars and aren’t worth it for others , I’ll give you a straight answer at quote stage.
GLASS PROTECTION
Glass Ceramic Coating
+£49
Add to any coating packageHydrophobic ceramic applied to your windscreen and front side glass. Improves rain visibility (water sheets off above 40mph instead of pooling), makes the glass easier to clean, and reduces wiper drag. Particularly worth considering if you do a lot of motorway driving in the wet.
WHEEL PROTECTION
Wheel Off Alloy Ceramic Coating
+£99
Add to any coating packageCeramic coating applied to alloy wheel faces and barrels, wheels are removed for access. Brake dust struggles to bond to coated wheels and rinses off with a pressure wash, saving hours of cleaning over the coating’s lifetime. Worth the £99 alone if you’ve got light coloured alloys.
CORRECTION UPGRADE
Two Stage Paint Correction
+£99
Upgrade from single stageFor paintwork with deeper defects than a single stage polish can handle , heavier swirl marks, holograms from previous machine work, or sharper marring. Two compounding stages remove more material and recover more clarity. Available as an upgrade on any coating package, not as a standalone service, i’ll let you know if your car needs it after assessment.
AFTER THE COATING
Specialist Aftercare to Match the Coating
Spending £500–£800 on a coating is the headline cost, maintenance is what makes it actually deliver the warranty period you paid for. Three options to pick from, all bookable at the time of your coating appointment.
Monthly PLANs
Monthly Maintenance Plans
Coating safe hand wash every month. Exterior from £55/month, or full exterior + interior from £75/month. Decontamination and booster included every 6 months.
SIX MONTHLY PLANS
Technical Maintenance Plans
Decontamination, coating booster, and full inspection done twice a year. Single visit £125 or annual (2 visits) £200. For owners who wash their own car between visits.
PRICING TRANSPARENCY
Why the Price Quoted Is the Price You Pay
Four things I commit to with every quote, in writing, before any work starts.
Fixed Price Agreed Before I Start
Once you accept the quote, that's the price. Written breakdown of exactly what's included, what's optional, and what each add on costs. No vague "from £X" actual numbers in pounds.
No Travel Surcharge in Greater Manchester
The same price whether I'm working in central Manchester or out in Bolton. Mileage's already costed into the package . I'm not going to add £30 because your postcode's a bit further from mine.
No "Found Extra Work" Mid-Job
If I find something during preparation that would genuinely change the spec, heavier defects than expected, a panel that needs more correction, i stop and discuss before doing the work. Never after, you decide whether to upgrade or stick with the original quote.
What You're Not Paying For
A unit's overheads, a receptionist, six layers of branding. The price reflects the actual work, preparation, materials, application time, warranty paperwork not someone else's business overhead loaded into your invoice.
Honest pricing, Real warranty, Same standard on every car.
What customers say
Real Reviews From Real Customers
The attention to detail is on another level. Found and sorted bits of contamination I didn't even know were there. You're not just paying for shine, you're paying for someone who actually knows what they're looking at.
Brandon
I'd had a bad experience with a different place years ago and was nervous about trying again, but Dan has completely restored my faith. Careful, communicative and genuinely skilled. The difference is night and day and I only wish I'd found him sooner.
Andrew
Friendly and polite, the finish is gorgeous. Exactly the kind of straightforward, no drama service you hope for but rarely get. Delighted.

PRICING QUESTIONS
Ceramic Coating Pricing - Answered Honestly
The pricing questions I get asked most. If yours isn’t here, send a message I’ll come back with a straight answer, no sales push.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Manchester?
Across most providers in Manchester, ceramic coating prices range from around £350 to £900+ depending on coating tier, vehicle size, and what’s included. My pricing sits between £549 and £799 fully loaded, every package includes single stage machine polish, full decontamination wash, and warranty documentation as standard.
The lower end of the local market often excludes paintwork preparation; the higher end usually includes services I include by default. The best way to get an accurate price is to send me your vehicle details and I’ll come back within 24 hours with a fixed quote, no pressure.
Why is the 10 year package only £200 more than the 5 year?
Honest answer: the prep work is identical , decontamination, polish, application and that’s where most of the labour cost sits. The 10 year coating itself is a higher grade product so the materials cost more, but the application time isn’t double.
The £200 difference reflects the genuine product cost difference, not a 2x markup for “premium” branding. If you’re keeping the car beyond 4 years, the 10 year almost always works out better value.
Why is single stage polish included when other companies charge £200 extra?
Because applying ceramic coating over swirl marked, defect laden paint just locks the damage in. Once the coating cures, those swirls are sealed under the coating for the next 5–10 years. Polishing first is the only way to get a finish you’ll actually be happy with long term, so I treat it as part of the job, not an upsell.
If a company’s quoting £400 for a coating without polish included, you’re either paying more total (£400 + £200 plus for a polish) or accepting a worse result. My pricing treats it as standard because the work has to be done either way.
Why is there a price difference between cars and SUVs?
SUVs, 4x4s, 6–7 seaters and vans have significantly more surface area to prepare and coat than a saloon or hatchback, sometimes 30–40% more. That’s more polishing time, more clay bar work, more coating product used, and a longer day on site.
The £50 difference reflects that genuine extra time and materials, not a “size premium.” A Range Rover doesn’t pay double a Golf , it pays the cost of doing the same job on a bigger vehicle.
Are travel charges included or extra?
All travel within Greater Manchester is included in the price, Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, Bury, Rochdale, Trafford, Ashton-under-Lyne, Altrincham, Wigan, and surrounding areas. No travel surcharge regardless of postcode within Greater Manchester.
If you’re slightly outside Greater Manchester, send me the postcode and I’ll let you know whether it’s still feasible, sometimes yes, sometimes there’s a small mileage contribution, but I’ll always tell you upfront.
Are there any hidden costs or extras at the end?
No, the price quoted at booking is the price paid at completion. I assess the vehicle, agree the package and any optional add ons in writing before the day, then stick to it.
If I find something during preparation that would genuinely change the spec, significantly heavier defects than expected, for example i’ll flag it and discuss before doing the extra work, never after. Surprise add ons aren’t how I run the business.
