Ceramic Coating
A 9H-hardness nano-ceramic that fuses to the clear coat — yielding a warm, liquid depth of gloss and measurable protection against contaminants, UV, and wash-induced marring.
Automotive Preservation Atelier
The
quiet
discipline
of finish.
01 / Disciplines
Six disciplines. One standard.
Each service is performed by a single lead technician, start to finish — no rotating hands, no interrupted work. Surgical lighting, filtered air, and measured outcomes.
02
Paint Correction
A multi-stage mechanical refinement — measured to the micron — that removes swirl marks, holograms, oxidation, and water-spot etching, restoring a factory-fresh (and often beyond-factory) clarity. Performed under controlled halide and LED inspection lighting.
03
Paint Protection Film
Computer-cut, self-healing TPU film applied with invisible seams — an armoured but optically pure layer that defends against stone chips, debris, and the small tragedies of the road.
04
Interior Restoration
Leather re-conditioning, Alcantara resurrection, fibre-deep extraction, and headliner refreshment — returning the cabin to the scent and feel of collection day.
05
Wheels & Calipers
Full removal, deep barrel decontamination, refinishing, and ceramic sealing — restoring forged wheels to a showroom state that simple pressure-washing will never achieve.
06
Engine Bay Detailing
Low-pressure, dielectric-safe cleansing followed by purpose-formulated dressing that revives rubber, plastic, and metal surfaces — the often-overlooked province that first tells a valuator how the car was kept.
02 / Signature
Correction is an act of restraint.
Drag to compare
Begin your assessment
A three-stage paint correction on a 2021 Porsche 992 Turbo S.
The clear coat on this car had endured six years of swirl-inducing tunnel washes. Over the course of four days our lead technician measured film thickness, refined the surface across three abrasive stages, and finished with a two-layer ceramic system. The movement of light across the panels is now, once again, a continuous event.

03 / Method
The six movements of the engagement.
Each vehicle that enters the atelier follows the same choreography — a rigorous sequence honed across a thousand corrections.
01
Consultation
A thirty-minute appointment. We study the car in daylight and under halide, discuss your history with it, and propose a course of work.
02
Decontamination
Two-bucket wash, iron dissolver, tar remover, and fine-grade clay — to yield a chemically and mechanically neutral surface.
03
Measurement
Paint thickness is gauged at over one hundred and twenty points. Every panel gets its own reading. No abrasion begins without numbers.
04
Correction
One to three machine polishing stages. Each pass judged under multi-spectrum lighting. The goal is not aggression — it is consistency.
05
Coating
A two-layer ceramic system applied in a dust-filtered bay. Sixty-minute flash. Infrared-assisted primary cure.
06
Delivery
A forty-eight-hour hold for full cure. Final inspection sheet, annual maintenance calendar, and aftercare kit accompany the keys.
04 / Archive
A quiet archive of work.
05 / Programmes
Three programmes. A year with us.
Every programme includes an annual inspection, a maintenance wash at the six-month mark, and unlimited chemical top-ups for twelve months.

06 / Correspondence
From those who have entrusted us.
After a decade of ownership, I felt I was seeing the car for the first time. The depth of the black — it had been lost under a film of the years, and Obsidian restored it with a kind of reverence.
They measure, they think, they explain, and only then do they touch the paint. You feel, the entire time, that your car is being read — not merely washed. Remarkable.
I have used four detailers in fifteen years. This is the first place that treats the work as a craft rather than a service — and the first whose finish I could not fault under the light.
07 / Enquiry
Questions, candidly answered.
Our flagship nine-hardness system is warrantied for seven to ten years, provided the vehicle is brought in for its annual inspection. Beading behaviour and self-cleaning remain strong for the full term. The Signature programme comes with the seven-year Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra; the Meridian programme uses the ten-year Halo system laid over paint protection film.
Yes. A coating is a clear, glass-like layer — it locks the surface in exactly as it is, flaws and all. A correction is the only way to remove swirl marks, holograms, and oxidation before sealing. We refuse to coat an uncorrected car; it is a disservice to both the paint and the warranty.
The Essential programme is two days. The Signature programme is four to five. The Meridian programme — which includes full-body paint protection film — is typically seven working days. We keep you informed daily with progress photography; a loaner vehicle and private lounge access are included at the Signature tier and above.
New cars are our favourite engagements. Even freshly delivered vehicles carry transport-induced marring and dealer-inflicted holograms from hurried pre-delivery inspections. We collect directly from the dealership on request, so no valet detergent ever touches the paint before we do.
Paint protection film is a self-healing thermoplastic polyurethane layer that defends against stone chips, debris, and chemical contamination. Installed properly — with seams routed to panel gaps and edges tucked — it is optically invisible. We offer gloss and matte finishes, and we hand-cut over panels with sharp shut-lines to eliminate the common visible seam.
With respect, no. We are certified on three coating systems, each of which we have tested against one another on hundreds of panels. Applying an unfamiliar product — however well-regarded elsewhere — would void the warranty we extend to you and compromise the outcome we are known for.
Every programme includes a maintenance kit and a written protocol: a pH-neutral shampoo, a pair of long-pile mitts, a drying towel rated for ceramic, and our preferred two-bucket method. We strongly discourage tunnel washes and, wherever possible, any contact washing in direct sun.
