Car Paint Protection
Exclusive Car Care is your trusted local installer of Gtechniq Ceramic Coatings & Xpel PPF
Gtechniq Ceramic Protection
Exclusive Car Care is an accredited and certified installer of Gtechniq ceramic coatings, renowned for their exceptional quality, durability, and long-lasting protection backed by a guarantee.
These high-quality coatings offer unparalleled protection and enhance the appearance and value of your exterior surfaces by providing a glossy and reflective shine. They ensure that your vehicle maintains a fantastic look while remaining well-protected and easy to maintain. They also simplify the removal of bird droppings and bugs while protecting against UV damage.
What Is A Ceramic Coating?
The easiest way to understand ceramic coatings is to think of them as a second layer of skin or a sacrificial layer of protection over your car’s paintwork.
A ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months like a carnauba wax or synthetic sealant would.
Is the dealer’s paint protection package worth paying for?
In most cases, no. Dealership protection packages are typically applied by valeters who are not professionally trained and are given very limited time to complete the job. The products used often offer short-term results, and the preparation is rarely carried out to a professional standard.
A specialist detailer like ourselves properly prepares the paint, corrects any imperfections, applies premium-grade coatings or films, and ensures the protection performs as advertised. This means better durability, better gloss, and far better long-term value.
Will A Ceramic Coating Prevent Stone Chips & Scratches?
The scratch resistance and hardness of a ceramic coating are often exaggerated; a coated vehicle will still pick up scuffs, stone chips and scratches. Furthermore, improper car washing techniques or automated car washes will still induce marring and swirl marks on your vehicle’s surface.
A ceramic coating is not a substitute for paint protection film, which provides a more comprehensive defence against swirl marks, scratches, vandalism, stone chips, and other road-debris damage.
Our combined ceramic coating and paint protection film services will provide the ultimate protection for your car!
What benefits do the Gtechniq 5-Year & 9-Year coatings provide?
Both coatings are backed with a guarantee and deliver:
– Exceptional gloss
– Chemical resistance
– UV protection
– Hydrophobic water-repelling behaviour
– Reduced maintenance effort
Crystal Serum Light (5-year) provides robust protection and great gloss.
Crystal Serum Ultra (9-year) adds greater hardness, improved swirl resistance, and a longer manufacturer-backed guarantee.

Xpel Paint Protection Film
Protect your investment with our premium XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF) services. With over a decade of hands-on experience and full XPEL certification, our team delivers precision installations that shield your vehicle from stone chips, scratches, road debris, and everyday wear and tear. We combine advanced film technology with expert craftsmanship to ensure your paint stays flawless while maintaining a virtually invisible finish. Trust us to give your vehicle the long-lasting protection it deserves.
What exactly is Paint Protection Film, and how does it protect my new car?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a crystal-clear, ultra-durable urethane film applied to your car’s paintwork. It absorbs the impact of stone chips, gravel, scratches, swirl marks, road debris, and environmental contaminants — keeping your new car looking flawless from day one
How long does XPEL PPF last, and what warranty is included?
XPEL Paint Protection Film comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty covering yellowing, peeling, cracking, and bubbling. With proper care, the film maintains long-term clarity and protection throughout your ownership.
My Car Isn’t New, Can I still Have PPF Applied?
Paint protection film can be installed on pretty much any vehicle at any time. To get the most value out of the product, we recommend installing it when the vehicle is brand new. A car which is a few years old with very low mileage would also be ideal if you wanted to preserve the original finish and prevent new chips from happening. We will ask to inspect your vehicle if it has more than 10,000 miles to verify that it’s a good candidate for PPF.
Any chips and damage under the film will appear as an air bubble and will look somewhat unsightly on a high-mileage car. Touch up paint can be used under certain circumstances, but it is no substitution for a professional refinish from a qualified body shop.
Which areas of my new car should I protect with PPF?
For new vehicles, the most common and effective coverage options include:
– Front Bumper (high-impact area)
– Bonnet & Wings
– Headlights & Mirrors
– A-pillars & Leading Roof Edge
– Side Sills & Rear Wheel Impact Zones
For complete peace of mind, a Full Car PPF package ensures total coverage of all painted and carbon fibre surfaces.
How long does the PPF installation process take, and what does it involve?
Most installations take 1–5 days, depending on coverage. The process includes:
1. Thorough wash and multi-stage decontamination
2. Light machine polish to create a perfect bonding surface
3. Precision-cut film using a digital plotter (no blades on paint)
4. Careful installation, ensuring tight and wrapped edges and a seamless finish
