CAR CERAMIC COATING SERVICE Button Button Button Button TidyRide has a range of ceramic coatings suitable for protecting your whole vehicle - inside & out Vehicle exterior - Paint, Glass, Wheels, Plastic Vehicle interior - Leather, Fabric, Plastic, Dash WHY CHOOSE A CERAMIC COATING? A ceramic coating fills in microscopic irregularities in the topmost layer of your vehicles paint and in turn it restores the gloss and the depth of colour. This tough ceramic layer then acts as a protective top-coat for your paint with hydrophobic properties, this means rain will not stick to it and is far less likely to deposit dissolved dirt. Once the coating has been applied the water behaviour on the surface of the paintwork will change, you will be able to see this in the form of visible water beading or sheeting. PROTECTION FROM Acids and alkali Micro scratches UV Fade Water spotting Atmospheric dust dissolved in rain Oxidation EXTRA BENEFITS Restores colour depth Swirl resistance Unrivalled levels of gloss Extreme surface slickness Ease of maintenance Industry Leading Coatings Full range of Car Ceramic Coatings All car coating services include 1 days worth of Single-Stage Machine Polishing: Restores gloss and removes light imperfections.

Paint enhancement is designed to address minor paint defects such as swirl marks and light scratches. Deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat or paint layer may require more intensive paint correction or touch-up services. Our detailing experts can assess the severity of the scratches and recommend the best course of action. What is paint enhancement? Paint enhancement is a process that involves the removal of minor defects such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation from the vehicle's paintwork. This process restores the paint's clarity and depth, resulting in a glossy and smooth finish. It is less intensive than paint correction and is ideal for vehicles with light to moderate imperfections. What are the benefits of paint enhancement? Paint enhancement offers several benefits, including the removal of minor paint defects, improved paint clarity and gloss, and enhanced overall appearance of the vehicle. It also provides a smoother surface for applying protective coatings or waxes, which can further protect the paint and maintain its shine. How do I maintain the results of paint enhancement? To maintain the results of paint enhancement, it is important to follow a regular car care routine that includes gentle washing with a pH-neutral shampoo, using microfiber towels for drying, and applying a high-quality wax or sealant. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the paint. Regular maintenance and touch-ups by a professional detailer can also help preserve the enhanced finish. How long does the paint enhancement process take? The duration of the paint enhancement process depends on the condition of the vehicle's paint and the level of enhancement required. On average, it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to complete. Our detailing experts will assess your vehicle and provide a more accurate time estimate based on its specific needs.

The goal is to make the car look like new and to enhance its value. Interior Vacuuming the entire interior, including seats, carpets, mats, boot, and side pockets Shampooing seats, carpets, and mats Cleaning and buffing all surfaces and materials Cleaning the dashboard and center console Cleaning the roof and door linings Cleaning the windows Exterior Washing, polishing, and waxing the bodywork Dressing exterior plastics and tires Polishing paintwork and glass Removing tar spots Tyre shine Can tar spots damage the car's paint if left untreated? Yes, tar spots can damage a car's paint if left untreated. While tar spots may not cause immediate severe damage, they can lead to several issues over time: Discoloration and staining of the paintwork, especially noticeable on light-colored vehicles. Potential etching or breaking down of the paint and clear protective coating if left for extended periods. Permanent damage to the paintwork, which can affect the car's appearance and potentially reduce its resale value. Possible difference in paint shade underneath the tar spot when removed after a long time, similar to the effect of removing a picture from a wall. Corrosion of the clear coat, which can lead to more serious issues like rust spots and peeling paint if left untreated for very long periods. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to remove tar spots promptly using appropriate tar removal products and techniques. Regular washing, waxing, and maintenance can also help protect the car's paintwork from tar and other contaminants Is it worth getting car Valeted? Professional car valeting offers a range of benefits beyond just a clean exterior. It helps preserve the paintwork, prolongs the life of your vehicle's interior, and enhances resale value. Additionally, a well-maintained car is more pleasant to drive and can create a positive impression. Does the Graphene Coating require any unique aftercare measures? No. Customers should follow the same aftercare advice which is advised after the application of any Ceramic. What are the benefits of ceramic coatings? Ceramic coatings offer several benefits including protection against acids, UV fade, water spotting, swirl resistance, gloss enhancement, and ease of maintenance. They provide a durable and long-lasting shield for your vehicle's paint, ensuring it remains in top condition for years. What shampoo should I use to clean my car that has been ceramic coated? When caring for a car that has been ceramic coated, it is crucial to use a shampoo that is pH-neutral and free from harsh chemicals or wax additives. At TidyRide Detailing, we recommend opting for specialized car shampoos designed specifically for ceramic-coated vehicles. These shampoos are formulated to maintain the integrity of the ceramic coating, ensuring long-lasting protection and shine. Using the wrong type of shampoo can strip away the coating or reduce its effectiveness, so always look for products labeled as safe for ceramic coatings. If you have any specific needs or preferences, feel free to reach out to our professional studio in Newton Abbot, and our detailing experts will be happy to recommend the best products for your vehicle's care. Is this a pure Graphene Coating? No. This is a ceramic coating infused with a graphene additive. How long does the Graphene Coating take to cure? As with the original 5 Year Paint Coating, the 5 Year Graphene Paint Coating requires a full 24-hours to cure. How do I maintain a ceramic-coated vehicle? Maintaining a ceramic-coated vehicle involves regular washing with a pH-neutral shampoo, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using microfiber towels for drying. It is also recommended to use a ceramic coating maintenance spray to enhance the coating's performance and longevity. Regular inspections and touch-ups by a professional detailer can help keep the coating in optimal condition. What is the difference between ceramic coatings and wax? Ceramic coatings and wax serve different purposes. Wax provides a temporary layer of protection and enhances the shine of your vehicle's paint. However, it wears off quickly and requires frequent reapplication. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, form a permanent bond with the paint, offering long-lasting protection and superior durability. Can I apply a ceramic coating myself? While it is possible to apply a ceramic coating yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a professional. Proper surface preparation and application techniques are crucial for achieving the best results. A professional detailer has the experience and tools necessary to ensure a flawless application. How long does a ceramic coating last? The longevity of a ceramic coating depends on the specific product used and the conditions it is exposed to. Generally, ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Regular maintenance and proper care can extend the lifespan of the coating. 3 min read Tips / Guides How to maintain your Ceramic Coating Easy step by step guide to taking care of and maintaining your cramic coated vehicle. 233 views 2 likes.

Light oxidation removal / preventative polish and protect: £45 for two lights (or £25 each) (This is step 4 only of the Full restoration process) it will yield great results on lightly oxidised lights but may not last as long. You can repeat this process as and when needed. Overtime headlights can start to fade, become yellow or blotchy as the uv from the sun or automatic car washes break down the protective layer.

Nothing is permanent but restoring your headlights the correct way will make them last much much longer. We now have two restoration processes to cover client budget and each vehicles needs. Our restoration process includes sealing the headlights with either a ceramic coating, OEM acrylic resins & or a dedicated UV headlight clear coat to prevent them fading a lot longer.

Remove Milk, Urine, Tobacco & other lingering smells permanently Don't just mask a bad smell, remove it. Bad smell in your car? looking for a professional car odour removal service ? This cannot be done at your local hand car wash , you need a professional valeter / detailer with the Autosmart Aromatek odour neutralisation machine, a professional car odour eliminator. ​ TidyRide is the only valeter in Newton Abbot to have the technology to remove unwanted odours / bad smells from your car interior permanently. The Autosmart Aromatek machine uses dry-vapour to fill the car with an invisible ‘fog’ which contains 32 natural oils used to neutralise and eliminate bad odours such as animal, food & smoke. Autosmart Aromatek Odour Removal Aromatek Benefits Unlike using conventional methods such as fogging machines, air fresheners, household products or ‘magic trees’, the Aromatek machine uses natural essential oils to offer a clean, safe but most of all, permanent solution to removing unwanted odours. The main benefit of using such a machine is the ability to deodorize areas of the interior which cannot be seen, and therefore reached, by usual manual methods thus being able to clean the air vent system & between all areas of the interior which will also helps to create a cleaner, fresher environment. Odour Removal – Aromatek uses a blend of over 32 natural essential oils, designed to chemically neutralise and permanently eliminate odours caused from pets, food or nicotine sources. Fragrance Refresher –  Available in Lemon, Orchard (fruity), Vanilla and Leather, these fragrances have been designed to mask malodours and refresh the vehicle interior for an alternative to freshen stale interiors. What are the alternatives? Like anything there are always alternatives which in this case are often in the form of: Ozone fogging – This method can damage plastics and fabrics with its toxic output and can be dangerous to the operator using it which isn’t going to do your vehicle any good. Fogging – Often used by DJ’s these steam based fog machines use wet vapour which can damage electrics as well as lifting glued surfaces such as tax disk holders. This causes residue on windows and leaves interior damp, car requires re-valeting and drying out. Air fresheners/’Magic Tree’ – Cheap odour designed to mask the unwanted odours offering no odour removal benefit and very short shelf life. Household products – Designed for use around the house, these won’t eliminate odours in vehicle interiors as they don’t penetrate porous surfaces nor do they neutralise or remove bacteria. They can also stain interior fabric and trim, causing more damage than they are worth. Aromatek is the Solution The solution to remove odour is to use dry-vapour machines due to the safe, cleanliness of use and doesn’t require further valeting after treatment to remove any unwanted mess or condensation. This also ensures that your vehicle stays completely dry and won’t damage any trim or delicate surfaces. The natural oils which are vaporised and pumped around the interior penetrate porous surfaces and neutralise odours for a permanent solution.

If you're a car owner in South Devon looking to protect and enhance your vehicle's finish, you may have heard of ceramic coating. This innovative solution is gaining traction among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. But what makes it so special? Let’s explore the science of ceramic coatings, their benefits, and why they might be a wise investment for your vehicle. What is Ceramic Coating? Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that forms a strong bond with your car's paint, creating a protective layer. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that sit on the surface, ceramic coatings offer a long-lasting shield. They can remain effective for 2 to 5 years or even longer with proper care. The coating primarily consists of silica dioxide (SiO2), which is derived from materials like quartz and sand. When applied, it creates a robust, crystalline structure on the vehicle’s surface, enhancing its appearance and protection. The process of applying ceramic coating to a vehicle's surface. How Does it Work? Ceramic coating works by chemically reacting with the paint at a molecular level. This results in a hydrophobic layer that repels water and dirt. For example, water beads off instead of spreading out, taking grime along with it. This means you can wash your car less often—up to 60% less frequently in some cases. Moreover, ceramic coatings are resistant to UV rays, oxidation, and thermal damage. This ensures that your car's color and shine remain intact, protecting against fading and dullness typically caused by sunlight. In fact, studies show that vehicles with ceramic coatings can maintain their glossiness three times longer than those without. Benefits of Ceramic Coatings Ceramic coatings deliver numerous advantages that make them appealing to car owners. Key benefits include: Durability : After application, ceramic coatings can last several years without significant wear. In contrast, traditional wax needs reapplication every few months. Protection Against Damage : The hydrophobic properties guard against bird droppings, tree sap and road tar, which can eat into paint. This can save you from costly repainting jobs. Effortless Cleaning : The smooth surface reduces dirt bonding, making wash jobs easier and quicker. Many car owners report cutting their washing time in half. Enhanced Gloss and Clarity : The coating boosts your car’s appearance, making the paint look more vibrant and providing a showroom finish that stands out. UV Shield : Protects your vehicle against harmful UV rays, which can lead to paint fading and cracking. Application Process Applying ceramic coating is a detailed process that requires expertise. Here’s an outline of the core steps involved: 1. Surface Preparation Before application, the car’s surface must be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated. This involves washing, polishing, and possibly using clay bars to eliminate any stuck-on contaminants. 2. Coating Application The ceramic coating is then applied using specific techniques to ensure even coverage. Depending on the type of coating, multiple layers may be necessary. 3. Curing Time After applying the coating, it needs time to cure properly. This critical step allows for a strong bond with the paint. For the best results, ensure the vehicle remains dry and sheltered during this period. The entire process often requires a professional detailer , and while it can be costly—ranging from £295 to £995 —the long-term benefits can outweigh the initial expenses. Maintenance of Ceramic Coated Cars While ceramic coatings offer robust protection, some maintenance steps will help keep your vehicle looking pristine: Regular Washing : Wash your car every few weeks using a pH-neutral soap. This helps preserve the coating's effectiveness. Skip Automatic Car Washes : Handwashing is preferable. Harsh brushes in automatic washes can degrade the coating quality over time. Use Specialized Maintenance Products : Sprays designed for ceramic coatings can maintain and enhance protection and shine between washes. Final Thoughts Ceramic coating is an effective solution for car owners eager to protect their investment while maintaining their vehicle’s aesthetics. By utilizing advanced technology that bonds with the paint, these coatings provide long-lasting defense, enhance appearance, and simplify upkeep. Before committing to ceramic coating, understand the application process and the care required afterward.
