Frequently Asked
Questions

Whether you're considering ceramic coating, paint correction, detailing or regular vehicle maintenance, we've answered some of the most common questions we receive.

If you can't find the information you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact our team for expert advice.

Ceramic coating is a durable protective layer applied to your vehicle's paintwork, wheels, glass and exterior surfaces. It forms a strong bond with the surface, enhancing gloss, improving water repellency and helping to protect against UV damage, environmental contaminants and everyday wear.

With proper maintenance and safe washing techniques, our ceramic coatings can typically last between 3 and 5 years. Longevity will depend on usage, storage conditions and ongoing maintenance.

Ceramic coatings provide an additional layer of protection and can help reduce light wash marring, however they do not make your vehicle scratch-proof. Safe washing techniques remain essential for preserving your paintwork.

We highly recommend paint correction prior to ceramic coating wherever appropriate. Ceramic coatings lock in the finish beneath them, so correcting swirl marks, light scratches and paint defects beforehand delivers the best possible result.

Stage 1: Ideal for vehicles with light imperfections, enhancing gloss and refining the finish.

Stage 2: Designed to remove moderate swirl marks, light scratches and paint defects while significantly improving clarity.

Stage 3: A comprehensive correction process for heavily marked paintwork, delivering the highest possible level of restoration and refinement.

This depends on the service selected and the condition of the vehicle. A maintenance valet may take a few hours, whereas paint correction and ceramic coating packages can require multiple days to complete properly.

Angelwax Accredited Detailers undergo specialist training and assessment to ensure the highest standards of workmanship. Accreditation demonstrates product knowledge, safe working practices and professional detailing expertise.

Yes. We offer maintenance washes and ongoing care plans to help keep your vehicle looking its best following a detail or ceramic coating installation.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a virtually invisible, self-healing polyurethane film professionally applied to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It provides exceptional protection against stone chips, road debris, scratches, bug splatter, bird droppings and everyday wear whilst preserving your vehicle's original finish.

Yes. The premium STEK Paint Protection Film we install features self-healing technology. Light swirl marks and fine scratches can disappear when exposed to warmth from the sun or warm water, helping to keep your vehicle looking its best.

When professionally installed and properly maintained, high-quality Paint Protection Film can last for many years. It is designed to withstand daily driving conditions whilst maintaining its clarity, gloss and protective performance.

Absolutely. Applying a ceramic coating over Paint Protection Film adds an extra layer of hydrophobic protection, making the film easier to clean whilst enhancing gloss and helping contaminants wash away more easily.

This depends on how you use your vehicle and your budget. Popular options include front-end protection, high-impact areas, or full vehicle coverage for maximum protection. We'll happily recommend the most suitable package based on your driving habits.

No. Premium Paint Protection Film is optically clear and virtually invisible once installed. It enhances gloss whilst protecting your paintwork without affecting the original colour or finish. Matte films are also available for vehicles with satin or matte paint finishes.

Absolutely. We provide specialist motorcycle valeting, detailing and protection services with the same level of care and attention to detail as our vehicle packages.

Unlike automated or high-volume car washes, we use professional safe-wash techniques, premium products and meticulous attention to detail. Our goal is not simply to clean your vehicle, but to preserve and enhance it whilst minimising the risk of paint damage.
