Ceramic Coating Worthing | Certified Installer
Proper protection. Applied properly.
A ceramic coating is the most effective long-term protection you can give your car’s paintwork. Done right, it makes your car easier to clean, more resistant to contamination, and better looking for years — not weeks.
Every coating is applied in our dedicated indoor unit in Findon Valley, West Sussex. Controlled environment, thorough prep, no shortcuts.
What a Ceramic Coating Actually Does
A professional ceramic coating bonds to your paintwork and creates a tough, protective layer that can last for years – not weeks like a wax. It makes your car easier to wash, keeps it looking glossier for longer and helps protect your paint from the elements..
You’ll get:
Deep, mirror-like gloss
Extreme hydrophobic behaviour – water and dirt struggle to cling
Easier maintenance – less effort to keep the car clean
UV and chemical resistance
Reduced risk of wash marring and fine swirls

Maintenance Programme
£55 per hour — available to all JCC coating customers
A ceramic coating performs best when it’s properly maintained. Our maintenance programme keeps your coating in top condition between annual inspections.
A well-maintained coated car typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours per visit, coming in at around £82 to £110. If the car hasn’t had regular attention between visits, it will take longer and the cost reflects that. You’ll always know upfront — no surprises.
Available exclusively to past Juicy Car Care coating customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — even brand-new cars benefit from a ceramic coating. Cars often arrive from the factory with light swirl marks, transport marring and a very thin layer of protection.
At Juicy Car Care, every new car receives full paint preparation and machine polishing before the coating is applied, ensuring the best possible gloss and long-term durability.
-
Modesta BC-X typically lasts 5–7 years, depending on how the car is washed and stored. With proper maintenance, it can last even longer.
Dealership coatings rarely offer this level of durability because they aren’t installed with the same preparation or controlled environment.
-
