Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating for Folkestone

On the coast, salt is the enemy of paint. Folkestone cars are worth protecting properly, and the M20 makes the run to our studio a straight one.

Salt is the coastal problem

Folkestone sits on the coast, and salt gets everywhere: airborne salt that settles and holds moisture against the paint, and road salt through the winter that is chemically aggressive. Both attack an unprotected clear coat far faster than most inland conditions, and both find the chips, edges and wheel areas first.

It is why coastal cars so often look flat and tired before they look damaged. The surface of the clear coat is being worn by salt and moisture, and no amount of extra washing on unprotected paint fixes it.

Decontaminate, correct, and seal it out

We decontaminate to strip bonded salt and fallout, correct the paint to restore gloss, and then apply a ceramic coating that gives the salt a surface it cannot bond to. On a coastal car we pay particular attention to the wheels and lower edges, where salt does the most damage.

A coating will not make a car immune to the sea air, but it turns maintenance into a simple safe wash and puts a hard, chemically resistant layer between the salt and your clear coat.

Worth the run up the M20

Folkestone is one of our longer journeys, but the M20 makes it a straight, easy run, and for a coastal car the protection is worth it. We are a drop-off studio, so leave the car with us and we will confirm the timeframe before we start.

For the most exposed lower edges we will also talk you through whether paint protection film is worth adding.
