Ceramic Coating Transformed CMD Tiling’s Van, Yours Is Next

The CMD Tiling Renault Traffic: A Work Van That Needed Real Ceramic Coating Protection

Why do I need ceramic coating? You know how trade vehicles take a beating, sun exposure, dirt, cement dust, chemical splashes, constant washing… it all adds up. CMD Tiling’s van was no different. The paint needed long-term defence, not just a quick shine.

Ceramic coating acts like a suit of armour for commercial vans.

After prepping, correcting, and applying the ceramic layer, the Renault Traffic instantly looked slicker, deeper in gloss, and far easier to maintain.
Detailers often say, “Coating doesn’t just protect the work you’ve done it protects the work you’ll do.” It couldn’t be more true.

Why Ceramic Coating Beats Waxing Every Single Time

Wax is fine… but ceramic coating plays in a whole different league.
It bonds to the paint on a molecular level, creating a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and grime like magic.

If you’re driving around Northamptonshire, especially in rural or industrial areas, that barrier makes daily cleaning so much easier.

Stat: Ceramic-coated vehicles stay cleaner 50% longer compared to waxed vehicles.

Quote: As detailer Larry Kosilla says, “Protection isn’t a luxury it’s part of the process.”
