Ceramic coating is a protective layer applied over prepared paint. Once cured it leaves a slicker, glossier surface that sheds water and makes routine cleaning easier — which matters in London, where cars sit under trees, beside busy roads and in permit bays for days at a time.

Valetly does not run a workshop. The coating is applied by a vetted independent detailer who comes to your address as part of a detailing appointment, so the paint is corrected and decontaminated first, then coated in the same visit. Book the detail, add the coating at checkout, and you get fixed pricing and before & after photos on the finished car.

Coating suits paint that is already in good condition, or paint that has just been machine-polished. If the car mainly needs a thorough clean rather than protection, a standard package is the better value choice.

Frequently asked

Where is the ceramic coating applied?
At your address, where the car is already parked — a driveway, allocated bay, permit street or office car park. The car does not leave you, and the detailer works on the spot.
Does the car need a detail first?
Yes. A coating goes on clean, decontaminated paint, so it is added to a detailing appointment rather than booked on its own. Start with [car detailing at home](/car-detailing-at-home-london) and add the coating at checkout.
Who applies the coating?
A vetted independent detailer on the Valetly platform. Every detailer is ID-checked and insured, and before & after photos are attached to your booking.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Coating is priced as an add-on to the detailing package you choose, so the total is fixed and shown before you pay. Plan for a longer appointment than a standard wash — the car needs to stay put while the paint is prepared and the coating cures.
