Result was amazing , car looked much glossier then when I collected it from the dealer a year ago. Should be much easier to keep clean now. Caz and Stu very friendly and helpful.”

FAQS | Car Valeting, Detailing & Ceramic Coating
Have questions? We’ve got answers. Whether you’re looking for expert car detailing, ceramic coating, or our bespoke Car Spa Day valeting service, here’s everything you need to know.
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that’s applied to your car’s exterior surfaces to provide a durable, long-lasting protective layer. Unlike waxes or sealants that sit on the surface and wear off quickly, ceramic coatings chemically bond to your car’s clear coat, creating a semi-permanent barrier that repels water, dirt, and contaminants.
Once applied and cured, ceramic coating protects your paintwork against UV rays, oxidation, acid rain, bird droppings, tar, road salt, and even light scratches. It also dramatically enhances the gloss and colour depth of your car, giving it that sought-after “wet look” finish. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, water and grime slide off easily, making your car significantly easier to maintain.
At GleamPro, we pair ceramic coatings with machine polishing and full exterior prep to ensure maximum adhesion and performance. With coatings available from 12 months to lifetime durability, it’s a smart investment in your car’s long-term appearance and resale value. If you are looking for ceramic coating Dorset, get in touch with GleamPro today.
What is car detailing?
Car detailing is the process of deep-cleaning, restoring, and protecting your vehicle’s exterior surfaces to bring back or even improve its original condition. Unlike a standard wash or valet, detailing goes further, using specialised tools, techniques, and products to enhance gloss, remove imperfections, and provide lasting protection.
At GleamPro, our exterior detailing process includes a multi-stage wash, decontamination, and machine polishing to remove swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches. The goal is to restore clarity and depth to your paintwork before applying protective treatments such as ceramic coating.
Whether your car is brand new, used, or a cherished classic, detailing improves both the look and lifespan of your paint, making it ideal for enthusiasts, resale prep, or simply keeping your pride and joy in top condition. Learn more about our car detailing services in Dorset here.
What is the difference between car valeting and car detailing?
Valeting refers to a high-level clean of your car’s interior and exterior, removing dirt, dust, and grime for a fresher overall appearance. Detailing, on the other hand, focuses more on restoration and protection, especially of the exterior paintwork. This involves steps like machine polishing, paint correction, and ceramic coating.
At GleamPro, our Car Spa Day offers a luxury-level valet that’s tailored to each vehicle, while our detailing services are designed for more technical correction and enhancement of your car’s finish.
What is the best ceramic coating brand?
In our professional experience, Ceramic Pro is the leading ceramic coating brand on the market and that’s why we exclusively use it at GleamPro. Ceramic Pro is trusted globally for its innovation, quality, and proven durability.
We’re proud to be Dorset’s only Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, which means we’re trained and certified to apply their full range of coatings, including the cutting-edge Ceramic Pro ION system. ION uses revolutionary ION Exchange Technology to fuse multiple layers into a single, ultra-durable barrier, offering up to twice the durability of traditional coatings.
Every Ceramic Pro application we offer is backed by a genuine manufacturer’s warranty, and has been independently tested and certified by SGS, the world’s leading testing authority. From daily drivers to high-end performance cars, Ceramic Pro coatings provide outstanding protection, unmatched hydrophobic performance, and a high-gloss finish that lasts for years.
Where can I get car ceramic coating near me?
GleamPro provides professional ceramic coating services from our secure studio in Three Legged Cross, Dorset. We’re conveniently located for drivers across Wimborne, Bournemouth, Poole, Verwood, Ringwood, and Christchurch. Whether you drive a brand-new vehicle or a classic you’ve loved for years, we deliver premium ceramic coating with expert prep and application.
How long does ceramic coating last?
The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on the product used, preparation quality, and how well the vehicle is maintained. At GleamPro, we offer coatings that range from 12 months to 7 years or even lifetime durability. With proper care, including safe washing and avoiding harsh chemicals or automated car washes, a professionally applied ceramic coating can offer long-term protection and exceptional gloss for years to come. We always provide tailored aftercare advice to help you get the most out of your investment.
Do I need to polish my car before ceramic coating?
Yes, machine polishing is an essential step before applying ceramic coating. Even brand-new cars often arrive with micro-marring, light swirls, or surface imperfections that will be sealed under the coating if not corrected first. At GleamPro, every ceramic coating service includes careful polishing to ensure your paint is as flawless as possible. This not only enhances the final result visually but also improves the coating’s bond with the surface for better longevity and performance.
Can ceramic coating be applied to older cars?
Absolutely. Ceramic coating is suitable for both new and used vehicles, including older cars with tired or weathered paintwork. The key is proper preparation, at GleamPro, we perform thorough decontamination and paint correction, before applying any coating. This restores clarity and removes defects, giving older vehicles a like-new appearance and long-lasting protection moving forward. Many classic or high-mileage vehicles benefit even more from ceramic coating, as it reduces the need for frequent polishing and harsh cleaning.
How do I maintain a ceramic coated car?
Maintaining a ceramic coated car is simple but important. We recommend:
- Washing the vehicle every 2–3 weeks with a pH-neutral car shampoo
- Using a two-bucket wash method with grit guards and soft microfibre mitts
- Avoiding automated car washes with brushes
- Drying the vehicle with a clean, plush microfibre towel
- Avoiding abrasive products or untested cleaners
- Booking a ceramic coating inspection or top-up every 12 months, if needed
GleamPro provides full aftercare guidance after every ceramic coating application, and we’re happy to advise on maintenance products and best practices.
What is machine polishing and why is it important?
Machine polishing is the process of using a professional polishing machine and abrasive compounds to remove defects from your car’s clear coat, such as swirl marks, holograms, oxidation, and fine scratches. It’s one of the most effective ways to improve the gloss, clarity, and overall condition of your paintwork.
At GleamPro, we use machine polishing before applying ceramic coatings to protect. By refining the paint before sealing it, we ensure maximum gloss and a flawless finish that lasts longer.
Is ceramic coating worth the investment?
Yes, especially for those who want to protect their vehicle’s appearance long-term, reduce cleaning time, and maintain resale value. Ceramic coatings create a hardened, hydrophobic layer over the paint, making your car more resistant to environmental damage like UV rays, salt, bird droppings, and chemicals.
Over time, the reduced need for polishing, waxing, and aggressive cleaning products can also save money, not to mention keeping your car looking better for longer. Whether you own a new daily driver, a classic, or a high-end vehicle, ceramic coating is a smart upgrade that adds real value.
Can I have ceramic coating and detailing done together?
Yes and in fact, detailing and ceramic coating go hand in hand. Detailing prepares your car’s paint by removing contaminants and correcting imperfections through machine polishing. Once the paintwork is properly cleaned and refined, the ceramic coating is applied to lock in the finish and add durable protection.
At GleamPro, all of our ceramic coating services include some level of detailing prep, from decontamination to polishing, to ensure the best possible results. If you’re unsure what level of correction your car needs, we’re happy to inspect it and recommend the best approach.
What is decontamination in detailing and why is it necessary?
Decontamination is the process of removing bonded surface contaminants from your vehicle’s paint, such as:
- Iron fallout (brake dust)
- Tar and road grime
- Tree sap and organic matter
- Industrial fallout
These contaminants aren’t removed through regular washing and can interfere with polishing and coating application. At GleamPro, we perform both chemical and mechanical decontamination (using iron remover, tar remover, and a clay bar) to ensure your paint is smooth, clean, and ready for polishing or ceramic coating. Skipping this step can compromise the final finish, reduce coating adhesion, and leave imperfections sealed in beneath the surface.
How much is ceramic coating Dorset?
The cost of ceramic coating in Dorset varies depending on your vehicle’s size, the level of preparation needed, and the type of coating applied. At GleamPro, we offer ceramic coatings ranging from 12-month entry-level options to long-term and lifetime protection, with pricing tailored to your car’s specific condition and requirements.
Every coating service includes proper surface preparation, such as decontamination and machine polishing, to ensure a flawless finish and maximum durability. For an accurate quote, we recommend booking a free consultation so we can assess your vehicle and recommend the right package for your needs and budget.
Whether you’re based in Bournemouth, Wimborne, Poole, or elsewhere in Dorset, GleamPro offers expert application and honest, transparent pricing. Learn more about our ceramic coating prices here.
What is a Car Spa Day?
A Car Spa Day is GleamPro’s signature full-day deep clean – a premium alternative to standard car valeting. Unlike fixed packages, this service is completely bespoke and tailored to your vehicle’s condition.

It’s the ultimate reset for your car, delivered by trained professionals using premium products and equipment.
What is new car detailing and why is it important?
New car detailing is a professional service that enhances and protects the appearance of brand-new vehicles. Although your car may be fresh from the showroom, it can still suffer from minor paint defects like swirl marks, holograms, or transport-related contamination. At GleamPro, our new car detailing service includes careful decontamination, paint inspection, and light machine polishing to refine the finish, followed by long-lasting ceramic protection. It’s the perfect way to preserve that new car look for the long term.
