A clearer, glossier finish
Preparation improves the finish; the coating helps preserve that result. Swirls need suitable polishing first because coating does not remove them.

Know what you are choosing
A better finish.
Easier everyday care.
Ceramic coating forms a thin protective layer over suitable, prepared paint. It helps with routine cleaning and surface protection, but the car will still need regular care.
Water sheds more easily
A water-repellent surface can make washing and drying easier. Dust still settles, and mineral-rich water can still leave spots if it dries on the paint.
Protection with clear limits
Coating does not make paint scratch-proof, stop stone chips or repair peeling clear coat. Choosing the right service starts with the problem you want to solve.

Estimated ceramic coating costs in Dubai
The bottle is only part of the job. Vehicle size, paint condition, correction time and the exact coating system all affect the price.

SUV estimate: AED 1,900–2,800
More correction + ceramic coatingAED 2,200–3,500
Sedan estimate for additional polishing to reduce suitable swirls and haze before coating. We assess the paint before agreeing how far correction can go.
SUV estimate: AED 2,800–4,500
Estimates include coating materials, the preparation described, application, curing and 5% VAT. Premium coating systems or unusually large vehicles may cost more. Repainting, film, wheel coating, glass and interior protection are separate. We name the coating product and confirm the total in writing before work.
A better finish for your budget
Pay for the preparation your paint needs
Two cars can need very different amounts of polishing. We assess the finish first, then recommend where the extra work will make a visible difference.
The work underneath matters
Prepare the paint before protecting it
We first check the finish and discuss the improvement you want. Where swirls or haze need attention, paint polishing can improve the surface before coating. New cars still need inspection, but do not automatically need extensive correction.
- Clean and decontaminateWash the paint and remove deposits that remain bonded to it, using products suited to the finish. A normal wash may not remove all contamination.
- Assess and correctAgree how much polishing is suitable for the swirls and light defects present. Explain which marks may remain before starting.
- Prepare, apply and levelRemove polishing residue and dry the surface. Apply the coating evenly and level excess product within the manufacturer’s working time.
- Allow curing and check the finishCheck for streaks or uneven patches and allow the required curing time. Explain when the car can get wet and when it can be washed.
Choose protection by purpose
Ceramic coating, wax or PPF?
These products do different jobs. Tell us whether your priority is easier washing, lower initial cost or protection against road debris.
| Option | Main reason to choose it | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Wax or sealant | Gloss and a simpler starting point for surface protection. | Needs renewal according to the product and wash routine. |
| Ceramic coating | Longer-lasting surface protection and easier cleaning when properly maintained. | Preparation, cure time and maintenance matter. It does not absorb stone impacts. |
| Paint protection film | A physical film for areas exposed to chips and abrasion. | Coverage, film quality, installation and edges affect the result. It cannot prevent every impact. |
A compatible coating can sometimes be used over PPF or a wrap. The product must suit that material and finish, especially matte or satin surfaces.
Your starting point
Is your paint ready for coating?
The condition and type of finish determine the preparation. Tell us about recent paintwork or any protection already fitted.
New or well-kept paint
Still needs inspection and cleaning. Delivery marks or contamination can need attention before application.
Swirls and light scratches
Discuss suitable polishing first. A coating does not fill or remove these defects permanently.
Chips, peeling or deep damage
Chipped paint or peeling clear coat may need paint repair first. Freshly painted panels need the waiting period specified for that paint system before coating.
Matte paint, wraps or an older coating
Tell us what is already on the car. Ordinary gloss polishing may damage a matte appearance, and an old coating may need assessment or removal.
Keep the finish looking good
Aftercare starts at collection
The product determines when the car can get wet and when it can first be washed. Follow the instructions supplied at collection and contact us if rain, water or contamination reaches the coating during early curing.
- Use a shampoo suitable for the coating and clean wash equipment.
- Avoid dry-wiping a dusty car and abrasive automatic brushes.
- Clean bird droppings and other contamination promptly using a safe method.
- Dry the car after washing to reduce mineral spotting.
- Ask before polishing, claying or using strong chemicals on coated paint.
If water stops beading, contamination or a worn top layer may be responsible. Ask for an assessment before paying for the whole car to be recoated. We provide the product name, application date and care instructions for future maintenance.
Before you decide
Ceramic coating questions, answered
How much is ceramic coating in Dubai?
Light polishing with exterior paint coating is estimated at AED 1,500–2,200 for a sedan or AED 1,900–2,800 for an SUV. More paint correction with coating is around AED 2,200–3,500 for a sedan or AED 2,800–4,500 for an SUV. Prices include 5% VAT. Premium systems and unusually large vehicles are quoted separately.
Does ceramic coating stop scratches and stone chips?
No. It provides surface protection and easier cleaning, but it is not scratch-proof and does not provide meaningful impact protection from stones. Discuss PPF if protection from road debris is your main priority.
How long will the coating last?
Durability depends on the product, preparation and ongoing care. We identify the coating and its maintenance needs before application. If it carries a warranty, we explain coverage, required maintenance and any ongoing charges in writing. An advertised lifespan is not the same as a warranty.
Does my new car need paint correction first?
Not necessarily. We inspect it for contamination, delivery marks and swirls. Some cars need only light preparation; others benefit from suitable polishing. The work should follow the actual condition.
Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF or a wrap?
A compatible product may be suitable. Tell us the film or wrap type, age and finish so it can be assessed. Matte and satin finishes need particular care to preserve their appearance.
When can I wash the car after coating?
Use the first-wash and curing instructions for the product applied to your car. Requirements vary. We explain these at collection, including what to do if the surface gets wet or contaminated early.
Are wheels, glass and the interior included?
Only if listed in the agreed quote. These surfaces need suitable products and their own preparation. We list the covered surfaces so the full price is clear.
Does a 9H rating mean scratch-proof paint?
No. In coating descriptions, 9H refers to pencil-hardness testing. It does not mean the finished paint resists every scratch or stone chip. We explain the named product and its limits alongside the preparation and price.
Are more coating layers always better?
Layer counts only make sense for the named product. Some systems need one coat; others allow or require more. Compare the manufacturer’s application requirements, preparation and expected durability. A higher layer count alone does not establish a better result.
