Paint protection

Machine polish & ceramic coating in Harrogate.

Washing and weather leave fine swirls in paint over time, and they dull the finish, most of all in sunlight. A single-stage machine polish lifts those swirls and brings back the gloss.

Why polish before a ceramic coating.

The paint is then sealed under a 3-year ceramic coating. It protects the finish and makes every wash after it easier.

Single-stage means one polishing step, aimed at gloss and swirls. Send us photos of your paintwork on WhatsApp and we will tell you what to expect on your car before you book.

“Had my car booked in for the machine polish and ceramic coating and the results are brilliant. The paintwork has been transformed, the gloss is unreal and the whole car looks like new again. Really professional service from start to finish and you can tell they take pride in their work. Would definitely recommend TP Car Care and will be using them again!”

“I booked in for a single stage machine polish and ceramic coating for my vehicle and my vehicle looks brand new. The lads know what they are doing and information on products they are using. Couldn’t recommended them enough. Wouldn’t use a different company. Now I’m also on their maintenance package to ensure my vehicle looks it best. Thankyou once again”

“I’ve been using TP Car Care for over 2 years now, starting with a ceramic coating and then keeping the car on a maintenance plan. Tyler has always been spot on turns up on time, does a proper job and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to products and how to look after the coating. The car always comes back looking great, and I know it’s being looked after properly. Really happy with the service over the last couple of years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Definitely recommend TP Car Care.”

FAQs

Questions about machine polish & ceramic coating.

  • What is the difference between a machine polish and a ceramic coating?

    A machine polish works on the paint itself: it lifts the fine swirls left by washing and weather and brings back the gloss. A ceramic coating goes on afterwards and protects that finish; ours is a 3-year coating, and it makes every wash after it easier. We do both in one booking.

  • Can a ceramic coating go on over polished paint?

    Yes, that is the order we work in: the single-stage machine polish first, then the 3-year ceramic coating seals the polished paint so the gloss is protected.

  • How long does the ceramic coating last?

    Our Single Stage Machine Polish + Ceramic Coating (£550) uses a 3-year ceramic coating, applied after a machine polish to lift swirls and restore gloss.

  • Is this a full paint correction?

    No. It is a single-stage machine polish, which lifts swirls and restores gloss. Send photos of the paintwork on WhatsApp and we will tell you what to expect on your car.

  • Where is the work done?

    At our unit, whatever the weather. We need the car for a full day. Our washes, valets and deep cleans are the ones we do on your driveway or at your workplace.
