Estimated package costs
Ceramic coating prices in Dubai
Exterior paint coating starts at an estimated AED 1,145 for a car with suitable paint. These are planning ranges for a complete vehicle before VAT, not fixed offers. The written quote adds 5% VAT to the agreed package. We inspect the paint and give you a written quote showing the product, coated surfaces, preparation, VAT and total before work begins.
- Protection coating AED 1,145–1,905
- Estimated full-vehicle exterior painted-panel package for paint in good condition. Includes washing, paint decontamination, light preparation and coating application. Machine correction and wheel, glass, trim or interior coatings are separate.
- Gloss enhancement and coating AED 1,905–3,335
- Estimated full-vehicle exterior painted-panel package with a light machine polish to improve suitable wash swirls before coating. Deep scratch repair and optional surfaces are separate.
- Paint correction and coating AED 3,335–6,190+
- Estimated full-vehicle exterior painted-panel package with more extensive, paint-safe polishing before coating. The written quote identifies the correction stages, achievable finish and any defects that remain.
- Optional surface treatments AED 240–1,145
- Estimated add-on cost depending on the selected glass, wheel, trim or interior surfaces and the products used. Add-ons are quoted separately unless the written package says they are included.
Vehicle size, paint condition, previous repairs and the coating product change the total. The ranges do not specify a brand, layer count or durability promise; they exclude VAT. Your written quote states those details, the 5% VAT and final payable total separately. No work outside the approved quote is added without your agreement.
Match the paint and finish
Which coating package suits your car?
The difference between packages is the paint preparation before coating. A thicker coating cannot correct defects left in the finish.
Protection package
Wash, decontamination, light preparation and exterior coating for paint that is already in good condition. Best when major swirl removal is not required.
Gloss enhancement package
Adds a controlled machine-polishing stage to improve light swirls and clarity before coating. Paint depth and defect severity decide what can safely be corrected.
Correction and coating package
A deeper staged polish for suitable paint, followed by coating. It aims for stronger defect reduction, but deep scratches and thin paint may remain.
Wheel, glass and trim coating
Optional surfaces can be treated with products intended for their material. These are quoted by area and are not assumed to be included in every paint package.
Inspect before application
What the paint needs before coating
Coating choice starts with the visible condition, not a warranty label or bottle name.
- Clear and smooth paint
- Decontamination and light preparation may be enough. This keeps the package focused on protection and easy maintenance.
- Light wash swirls
- A gloss-enhancement polish can improve clarity before coating. The result depends on paint hardness, depth and previous correction.
- Heavy swirls and oxidation
- A measured correction stage is needed. We explain which defects can be reduced safely and which should remain.
- Deep scratches or paint failure
- Coating cannot rebuild missing clear coat or repair peeling paint. Local paint repair may be the correct first step.
Under workshop lighting, we inspect the hood, roof, doors, bumpers and repainted areas separately. Plastic panels and metal panels may not respond the same way. Edges, sharp body lines and previously polished areas can have less safe correction room, so they are handled conservatively.
We recommend a package based on the finish you want. A daily driver may prioritize protection and easier cleaning. A dark luxury car with visible swirls may benefit more from correction. We state what is included, which defects are expected to remain, and how long the workshop needs before work starts.
From first look to handover
How we prepare and coat the paint
The preparation takes as much care as the coating. We explain the proposed work and price before the car enters the bay.
- 01
Inspect the finish
We look for swirls, contaminants, repainted panels and damage that a coating will not conceal.
- 02
Agree the package
Your written quote identifies the paint preparation, coating product, surfaces, VAT and handover plan.
- 03
Wash and decontaminate
We clean the car and remove bonded deposits so the next stages start on a properly prepared surface.
- 04
Polish if agreed
We refine suitable defects within safe paint limits. A protection-only package does not include deeper correction.
- 05
Apply the coating
The selected product is applied to the agreed areas and allowed to cure under its specified conditions.
- 06
Check and hand over
We inspect the finish and explain first-wash timing and the care instructions for the product used.
The workshop paint inspection is free, and free pickup and delivery can be arranged across Dubai. If an on-site assessment is useful, any separate visit terms are confirmed before dispatch.
Set the right expectation
What ceramic coating can and cannot do
A ceramic coating adds a water-repellent surface that can improve gloss and make routine dirt easier to wash away. It is not scratch-proof, stone-chip-proof or maintenance-free. It will not fill a deep scratch, repair peeling clear coat or hide poor preparation.
Coating follows washing, decontamination and any agreed polishing. If the paint has deep damage or a recently repainted panel, we assess it before proposing a coating. Fresh paint may need more curing time under the paint supplier’s guidance.
Care still matters. Use a suitable hand-wash method, avoid harsh automatic brushes, remove bird droppings promptly and follow the product’s first-wash instructions. If water stops beading evenly later, cleaning may restore its behavior; we inspect the surface before recommending a new application.
For a car needing an interior refresh as well, see our detailing service. If you want swirl reduction without committing to a coating, compare polishing and paint correction. These are distinct services, and the quote will show any work combined with your coating.

Questions before booking
Ceramic coating questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Dubai?
Our estimated full-vehicle exterior paint packages range from AED 1,145–1,905 for protection, AED 1,905–3,335 with gloss enhancement and AED 3,335–6,190+ with more paint correction. Glass, wheels, trim and interior treatments are optional. The written quote states the chosen product, surfaces, VAT and final total.
What is included in a ceramic coating package?
A protection package includes washing, decontamination, light paint preparation and coating of the agreed exterior painted panels. Polishing and other coated surfaces depend on the package. Your written quote lists the exact product, preparation, coverage and any extras.
How long will my car be at the workshop?
A protection package may take about one to two working days. Paint correction can take longer, and curing depends on the product used. We confirm a handover time after inspecting the paint.
Will ceramic coating remove scratches?
No. Suitable polishing before coating can reduce some light swirls; deeper scratches may remain or need paint repair. Coating does not prevent new scratches or stone chips.
Can you coat a new or recently repainted car?
New cars can still need decontamination or light polishing. For a recently repainted panel, we check its condition and the paint supplier’s curing guidance before applying a coating.
Can matte paint be ceramic coated?
We assess the finish and choose a product and preparation method suitable for matte paint. Machine polishing is normally avoided because it can change the appearance.
Are wheel and glass coatings included?
They are optional add-ons unless the written package explicitly lists them. We use products suited to the chosen surfaces and quote those areas separately.
How do I wash the car after coating?
Follow the product-specific first-wash guidance we give at handover. After that, use a gentle wash method, avoid harsh automatic brushes and remove bird droppings promptly.
