Soft Top & Convertible Hood Cleaning and Protection Keeping your soft top, rag top, or cabriolet/convertible hood in top condition can be challenging, as these roofs are prone to fading, mould, and wear over time. Common Issues: • Fabric Hoods: Susceptible to mould, moss, and general dirt accumulation. • Plastic Rear Windows: Easily scratched and prone to cloudiness on cabriolet vehicles. • Unprotected Hoods: Without regular care, a convertible hood can last only 6-8 years before it needs replacing, costing hundreds of pounds. Why Protection is Essential: Brand new fabric soft tops come with an invisible weather proofer, but over time, this protective layer deteriorates, leaving the hood vulnerable to the elements. Without reapplication, the fabric becomes weak and more prone to damage. Our Service: TidyRide’s Soft Top Waterproofing Service offers a comprehensive solution for keeping your roof in top shape: • Cleaning & Brushing: We use specialised tools and cleaning products to remove dirt, mould, moss, and other debris. • Re-waterproofing: Restores the water-repellent layer, preventing further damage and stopping mould from forming. Two Service Options Available: 1. Clean & Re-waterproof: Ideal for relatively new hoods with minimal contamination. 2. Clean, Re-colour & Re-waterproof: A comprehensive service that includes restoring the colour of your hood, perfect for fading or discoloured fabric. Customisation: If you choose the recolouring option, please specify the colour of your hood when booking. We stock black but can order other colours on request. This service is perfect for vehicles a few years old where the hood remains in good condition, though older, dirtier hoods may require a more intensive Hood Machine Clean. Protect your investment and ensure your soft top or convertible hood lasts longer with TidyRide’s expert care. Book your appointment today!

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. Investing in ceramic coating can yield peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is protected and looks outstanding. A car showcasing an impressive shine protected by ceramic coating. With proper care, your car’s finish can stay in excellent shape for years, allowing you to enjoy every drive. Take the time to explore whether ceramic coating fits your needs, and enjoy the benefits it offers.
