That is why two quotes for “the same coating” can differ dramatically. They are usually quoting different amounts of correction.
What the price includes
- Decontamination wash, iron removal and claying
- Paint correction to an agreed level — this is the biggest variable
- Panel wipe to strip polishing oils so the coating can bond
- Coating application, leveling and inspection
- Vehicle size and number of panels, including glass and wheels if included
Cheap coatings and why they disappoint
A low quote almost always means minimal correction. The coating then locks existing swirl marks under a hard layer for years. If a price seems far below everyone else, ask specifically how many hours of correction are included.
Frequently asked questions
Is coating cheaper than repeated waxing?
Over several years, usually yes, and the maintenance washing is easier.
Can you coat only part of the car?
Yes — some customers coat just the glass or just the horizontal panels that take the most sun.
