These coatings are currently the best available paint-protections on the market.
Their benefits:
It will protect the surface up to 1 to 6 years form UV light, bird drops, etching and dullness created by paint oxidization
It will restore the color and provide an amazing shine for the treated surface
It will create an extreme hydrophobic layer on the surface, which will make the carwash easier than ever before
Graphene coating for cars:
Before applying the coating, the surface needs to be polished, to reach the best result in gloss and durability.
For a new or scratch free car we will need only a cleaning polish. It's necessary to fully clean the clearcoat.
Previous wax or clearcoat residue needs to be removed, because these will prevent the coating from bonding.
If there are scratches, wash or lovemarks on the surface, then we will need a full paint correction, because the coating will make these imperfections more visible, and harder to remove afterwards.
Graphene or ceramic coating can be applied only on metallic paintwork. It won't bond with single stage paint.
The pricing doesn't include the polishing.

The 2 cars bellow are fully corrected and coated with graphene. The pictures are speaking for themselves.
Due to their heat ressistance the ceramic coatings are perfect to coat alloy wheels.
The coated surface will provide a protection from breakdust, road film and any another fallout.
You won't need any chemicals to clean your wheels, just a bucket and a sponge.
The surface will get a huge jump in gloss and slickness.
It will last up to 12 months.
See the pricing bellow:
Depending on size the price is from 5.850 HUF to 11.100 HUF, this price contains the preparation.
We don't remove the wheels from the car!
We only treat the outer surface if the rim is on the car!
The price in this case is 4.500 HUF to 7.000 HUF, this contains the preparation.
More details about the ceramic and graphene coatings
The first ceramic coatings appeared in the 2000's on the market.
These coatings became very popular because of their improved durability compared to wax or sealants.
A traditional sealant reched a protection of 3-6 months, but the ceramic coatings exceeded the one year mark
Of course these are no wonder products, you still need to wash your car afterwards.
Basically the ceramic coating is a mixture of syntetic polymers, similar to the clearcoat.
On the surface it creates a 2-3 micron thick layer, which protects the clearcoat from the UV rays and bird drops and so on.
They had also their flipside. It took a lot of time, hardware and effort to apply these products on the car.
And without any exception these coatings can get water spots very easy.
To protect the coating from water spots the manufacturers created a second layer of protection above the ceramic layer.
This made the process even more expensive and time intensive.
The graphene coatings appeard around 2018 in the US markets
Maybe I was among the very first detailers back then, who've tried this coating in Hungary.
Compared to the ceramic coatings the graphene was much easier to apply, and it also had a way better protection against water spots.
It took only one step and no additional hardware to treat the surface.
The durability is around 24 months in the Hungarian climate.
My own cars easily exceed the 24 month, despite they are sitting under the sky 12 months per year.
Of course this is possible due to the professional maintenance.
It's very important to use car shampoo what's made for ceramic coatings.
I personally recommend the rinseless wash for my customers. It's simple, environmental friendly and way cheaper than the classic wash methods.
You can do this in front of your flat or driveway, and the cost for one was is between 300 and 500 HUF.
Once in a month the car should be treated with a ceramic detailer after the wash.
The price for a 750 ml bottle is around 6000 HUF and last easily 25-35 cars.
