PREMIUM CERAMIC COATING PROTECTION

Preserve your vehicle’s finish with professional ceramic or graphene-enhanced protection, meticulously prepared and installed at your home across Oxfordshire and beyond.

Greater gloss. Easier maintenance. Long-term protection without exaggerated promises.

Long-Term Protection, Installed Properly

A ceramic coating forms a durable, invisible protective layer over your vehicle’s exterior surfaces.

It helps prevent road grime, water, salt, oils and environmental contamination from bonding as firmly to the surface. This keeps the vehicle looking cleaner for longer and makes regular washing considerably easier.

Unlike conventional waxes and sealants, which may last weeks or months, a professionally installed coating can continue protecting for years when maintained correctly.

Easier to Maintain

Dirt and contamination release more easily, reducing the effort required to keep your vehicle looking its best.

Enhanced Gloss

The coating creates a slick, reflective finish that enhances colour, clarity and depth.

Environmental Protection

The original surfaces are better protected against UV exposure, road salt, chemical contamination, bird droppings and changing weather conditions.

Multi-Surface Protecti

Our coating systems can protect paintwork, exterior glass, wheels, metal and exterior plastic trim.

Protection—not Invincibility

A ceramic coating is an invisible force field, but it is not an invincible one.

It will not prevent stone chips, deep scratches, dents or damage caused by poor washing. It also does not mean that the vehicle never needs cleaning again.

What it provides is a sacrificial protective layer. Contamination reaches the coating before reaching the original surface beneath it, giving your vehicle a far stronger defence against everyday exposure.

The Preparation Matters More Than the Bottle

A premium coating cannot compensate for rushed or inadequate preparation.

Applying a coating over contamination, water marks, swirl marks or polishing residue can trap those defects beneath the protection and prevent the coating from bonding correctly.

Every Forge installation is built around the condition of the individual vehicle and may include:

  • A thorough safe wash
  • Detailed cleaning of wheels, arches and exterior surfaces
  • Iron fallout, tar and bonded-contamination removal
  • Clay treatment where required
  • Paint inspection under specialist lighting
  • Machine polishing appropriate to the vehicle’s condition
  • Removal of polishing oils and residue
  • Careful coating application and curing
  • Final inspection before completion

New vehicles are inspected and prepared too. A new registration does not necessarily mean the paintwork is clean, defect-free or ready to coat.

Choose Your Protection

3-Year Ceramic Protection

Reliable long-term protection for daily-driven vehicles and owners who want easier maintenance, stronger gloss and dependable all-season protection.

Designed to protect paintwork and suitable exterior surfaces against environmental contamination while creating a smooth, highly water-repellent finish.

Why choose it?

  • Deep gloss and improved colour clarity
  • Strong water and dirt repellency
  • Easier and safer maintenance
  • Protection for multiple exterior surfaces
  • Excellent value for long-term vehicle ownership

The professional coating used is manufacturer-rated for up to five years. Forge deliberately advertises it as protection for up to three years, allowing a sensible margin for real-world use.

5-Year Graphene-Enhanced Protection

Our highest currently available protection level, created for owners who want greater durability, exceptional slickness and the strongest long-term performance from our existing range.

The graphene-enhanced ceramic formula produces an extremely smooth finish while helping water, oils, dirt and road contamination release more easily from treated surfaces.

Why choose it?

  • Exceptional slickness and gloss
  • Advanced water, oil and dirt repellency
  • Enhanced long-term durability
  • Easier maintenance across all seasons
  • Multi-surface exterior protection
  • Ideal for cherished, performance and high-value vehicles

The professional coating used is manufacturer-rated for up to seven years. Forge deliberately advertises it as protection for up to five years, creating a realistic performance buffer rather than relying on the highest possible laboratory rating.

Why Are Our Durability Claims Lower?

Because your vehicle lives in the real world—not in a laboratory.

Mileage, weather exposure, storage, washing methods, road salt and maintenance can all affect how a coating performs over time.

Our three-year ceramic is produced as a five-year coating, while our five-year graphene-enhanced system is produced as a seven-year coating.

We intentionally advertise both below their maximum manufacturer ratings. This gives each installation the best opportunity to meet or exceed the protection period we describe.

We would rather exceed a realistic expectation than sell the biggest number possible.

Professional Products, Chosen for Performance

Forge currently installs professional-grade coating systems manufactured in Britain by The Ceramic Warehouse.

They have been selected for their multi-surface protection, slickness, water and dirt repellency, gloss and real-world maintenance benefits.

However, the product in the bottle is only one part of the result. Inspection, preparation, paint correction, application conditions and long-term maintenance determine whether any coating performs properly.

That is why every Forge installation is sold as a complete protection process—not simply the application of a product.

Looking After Your Coating

Even the best coating requires correct maintenance.

Harsh contamination can gradually accumulate on the surface and restrict its water behaviour. This does not always mean the coating has failed; it may simply require safe decontamination to reopen the surface.

To maintain protection and appearance, we recommend:

  • A safe maintenance wash at least once every four weeks
  • Washing every two weeks for higher-mileage vehicles
  • Professional decontamination every 12 weeks or approximately 5,000 miles (whichever comes first)
  • Avoiding automatic, roadside and unsuitable hand-car washes
  • Removing bird droppings and other aggressive contamination promptly
  • Using coating-safe products and wash methods

Forge maintenance care is reserved for vehicles prepared and protected by us, allowing complete control over the products, preparation and ongoing care.

Which Coating Is Right for You?

Choose the 3-Year Ceramic Protection if you want excellent long-term protection, impressive gloss and easier maintenance for a regularly used vehicle.

Choose the 5-Year Graphene-Enhanced Protection if you intend to keep the vehicle longer, want our highest current protection level or simply want the slickest and most durable option available from Forge.

Still unsure? We will assess your vehicle, how it is used and how long you expect to own it before recommending the most suitable option.

We will never recommend a more expensive coating simply because it costs more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@forgevaleting.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

No. It may help reduce very light marking during careful maintenance, but it cannot prevent scratches caused by poor washing, physical contact or deliberate damage.

No. Preventing stone chips requires paint-protection film. Ceramic coatings protect against environmental contamination rather than heavy physical impact.

Often, yes. New vehicles can arrive with swirl marks, sanding marks, transport contamination, water spots or dealership preparation damage. The paint is inspected before the appropriate level of correction is decided.

That depends on the vehicle’s condition. The surface must be completely clean and properly prepared. Applying protection over visible defects can preserve those defects beneath the coating.

Not by itself. Water behaviour can become restricted by mineral deposits, road film and bonded contamination. Correct decontamination can often restore the coating’s performance.

The published period is a realistic expected service life rather than an unconditional promise. Durability depends on vehicle use, mileage, storage, washing methods, contamination and maintenance.
