When Souptik collected his Kia Stinger, he was excited about the performance, colour, and styling, but the more he looked at the paint, the more concerns started to set in.


❌ Visible swirl marks

❌ A flat, tired-looking finish

❌ No protection from daily wear and tear


He wanted more than just a clean car, he was after lasting protection, deeper shine, and a finish that could stand up to the constant demands of London roads and weather.


The Consultation: Zero Guesswork, Expert Advice

Souptik came to The Valeters seeking advice. He filled out the contact form and was contacted by Mac, our senior detailer, who conducted a phone consultation in order to assess Souptiks needs and expectations from a ceramic coating in london.


📲 Mac requested detailed photos and asked the right questions:

  • How frequently is the car used and washed?

  • What is the current state of the paint?

  • What degree of shine and protection are you aiming for?

With his expertise and the pictures provided, Mac brought the perfect solution:

👉 Our Mini Detail Package with an upgrade to our 5-Year Ceramic Coating for double-layered protection. Souptik trusted the recommendation and scheduled the service right away.


On the Day: A Perfectly Matched Ceramic Coating Package in London

When we arrived to carry out the work, Mac’s recommendations were spot on.

Here’s what was included:

✅ Comprehensive exterior cleaning with chemical decontamination

✅ Clay bar treatment

✅ High precision, single stage machine polish

✅ Application of a premium Gtechniq 5-Year Ceramic Coating


This coating has two layers of state-of-the-art protection:

  • One that chemically bonds to the paint for unbeatable durability

  • Another which boosts water-beading, prevents contaminants, and enhances shine

The result? A finish that resists UV rays, chemical etching, and swirl marks — and stays cleaner for longer thanks to its high hydrophobic performance.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

In order to maintain the coating at its best, we now offer Souptik regular monthly maintenance valets — keeping the gloss, water repellency, and paint protection all in top condition.

This is one of the largest benefits of selecting a professional ceramic coating – it’s not simply about the initial finish, but the long-term maintenance that follows.

Second-Hand Car Can Look As Good As New

There’s a myth that ceramic coating is only worth it for brand-new vehicles — but Souptik’s story proves otherwise.

With proper prep and a double-coat finish, a preowned automobile can look sharper, stay cleaner, and retain value better than before.
