Frequently Asked Questions – Ceramic Coating in Falkirk
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid paint protection applied to your vehicle’s exterior surfaces, including paintwork, plastics, glass, wheels, and trim. Once applied, it bonds to the surface and forms a durable, transparent protective layer.
Most professional ceramic coatings contain Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂), which provides long-lasting protection against environmental contamination, UV damage, and light wear while significantly enhancing gloss.

How long does ceramic coating last?
The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on the product used and how well it is maintained. At Shine Car Care, we offer professional-grade ceramic coatings with durability of up to 2 years when properly cared for.
Regular safe washing and correct maintenance will help maximise the lifespan and performance of the coating.
Regular safe washing and correct maintenance will help maximise the lifespan and performance of the coating.
Does ceramic coating eliminate the need to wash my car?
No. Ceramic coating makes washing easier, but it does not eliminate the need for regular maintenance. Dirt and grime are less likely to stick to the surface, meaning your car stays cleaner for longer and requires less effort to wash.
Is ceramic coating scratch-proof
Ceramic coating is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. It helps reduce light swirl marks and minor wash-induced scratches but will not protect against deep scratches, stone chips, or impacts.
Can ceramic coating be applied to any vehicle
Yes. Ceramic coating can be applied to both new and used vehicles. For all cars, we recommend machine polishing beforehand to correct swirl marks and paint defects, ensuring the coating bonds properly and delivers the best finish.
Do I need machine polishing before ceramic coating?
In most cases, yes. Machine polishing prepares the paint by removing defects and maximising gloss. Applying ceramic coating without proper preparation can lock imperfections into the paint.
Can ceramic coating be applied to matte paint, vinyl wraps, or PPF?
Ceramic coating can be applied to matte paint, vinyl wraps, and paint protection film (PPF), but specialist products must be used. Ceramic coatings enhance hydrophobic properties without adding unwanted gloss when applied correctly.
How long does ceramic coating take?
Most ceramic coating packages at Shine Car Care in Bo’ness, Falkirk are ready for collection the next day.
How should I maintain a ceramic coated vehicle?
To maintain your ceramic coating:
- Wash regularly using a pH-neutral shampoo
- Avoid automatic car washes with brushes
- Dry using clean microfiber towels
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive products
Does ceramic coating affect my paint warranty?
No. Ceramic coating does not void manufacturer paint warranties. It can actually help preserve the paint’s condition over time.

Our ceramic coating packages start from £350, depending on vehicle size and the level of paint correction required.
