WHEN YOU NEED IT

What Ceramic Coating Protects Against

A single-layer sealant lasts 2–4 weeks. Ceramic bonds to the clear coat and lasts years — it changes how often you wash and what happens between washes.

UV Fade & Oxidation

Ceramic blocks the UV that degrades clear coat. Colour depth and gloss stay stable through the seasons.

Water Spots & Rain Etching

Hydrophobic surface — water beads and rolls off, dramatically reducing mineral deposits and rain etching.

Airborne Contaminants

Bug residue, tree sap, brake dust and airfield grime don't bond to a ceramic-protected surface — they wipe off.

Bird & Insect Strikes

Acidic residues that etch into unprotected paint sit on the ceramic surface instead, giving you time to wash them off cleanly.

Cleaning Time

A quick rinse replaces a full wash for most flights. Cleaning frequency drops by 60–70% and each clean takes less time.

Post-Correction Preservation

Ceramic locks in a corrected finish. Without it, correction wears off within months — with it, the surface holds for years.

PROCESS

How We Apply Ceramic

  1. STEP 1

    Decontamination

    Full wash + clay-bar treatment + IPA wipe-down. The surface must be perfectly clean and bare before coating — anything trapped underneath is trapped for years.

  2. STEP 2

    Ceramic Application

    Panel-by-panel application in a controlled environment. Two-person application for large panels to prevent high spots. Every layer measured and logged.

  3. STEP 3

    Cure & Handover

    12-hour cure window at the aerodrome. Delivery includes gloss meter readings, coating batch numbers and care instructions for maximum longevity.

  4. STEP 4

    Aftercare Programme

    A personalised maintenance plan keeps your coating performing at its best. Regular aftercare visits include decontamination, inspection, booster application and spot repair.

AFTERCARE PROGRAMME

Ongoing Protection After Application

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every Ceramic Coating service includes an ongoing Aftercare Programme to maintain the coating's protective properties. Aftercare visits include full chemical decontamination of the coated surfaces (iron fallout, tar and organic deposit removal), a detailed coating inspection with a written condition report, booster application to refresh the top layer, and spot repair of any minor coating damage.

YOUR PERSONALISED PLAN

Aftercare intervals and scope are determined individually based on manufacturer guidelines, your aircraft's flight hours, operating environment and coating condition. During your Ceramic Coating consultation, we'll prepare a personalised maintenance plan covering inspection frequency, scope of work and pricing — so you have the full picture before committing.

RECOMMENDED PAIRING

Correct First, Then Protect

Ceramic Coating locks in whatever surface is underneath — including swirls, oxidation and micro-scratches. Applying ceramic over uncorrected paint seals those defects in for 2–3 years (Standard) or 5+ years (Premium).

The professional protocol is Paint Correction first, Ceramic Coating second. Together they deliver a surface that looks better and stays protected far longer than either service alone. For older paint we strongly recommend at minimum a Paint Correction Light before Ceramic.

Paint Correction

Restore the paint before we seal it. Prices for Small aircraft — see full pricing on the Paint Correction page.
