⛔ How much does it actually cost to bring faded paint back to life?⛔

It depends on the size of the car and how badly the paint has faded, but usually you’re looking at around £150–£500.

📛 Toothpaste is NOT going to properly fix scratches on your car...📛

At best it might hide them slightly, and at worst you could end up adding even more marks by using the wrong product.

Got a scratch you want checking? Come and see me and I’ll tell you if it can be fixed.

✨ Paint correction or ceramic coating... which comes first? ✨

Always get the paint looking right first. There’s no point protecting swirl marks and defects with an expensive coating.

🎨 REPAINT OR REPAIR these scratches?🎨

Some scratches can be repaired with machine polishing, while deeper damage may need repainting.

🚘 You probably DON’T need ceramic coating...

It’s really for people who want to protect their paint long-term, make the car easier to maintain, keep it looking better for longer and help preserve its value.
