Ceramic coating in Dubai

Washii ceramic coating starts at AED 999, one flat price for any vehicle size. That tier is the coating on its own: a full exterior pre-wash, rinse, pH-neutral shampoo and second rinse, then 5 to 7 layers of ceramic coating, applied at your door with no paint correction. If the paint needs correcting first, a single-stage machine polish with ceramic coating is AED 1,400 for a sedan and AED 1,500 for an SUV, and multi-step paint correction with ceramic coating is AED 1,999 for a sedan and AED 2,100 for an SUV. Those two are done indoors, with free collection and return anywhere within Dubai.

One to two years of real protection. Dubai is harder on coatings than most markets because of constant UV, daily dust and frequent washing, so treat multi-year claims with caution. You extend the life by washing with pH-neutral products and topping the coating up with a Ceramic Refresh rather than by buying a longer warranty.

It is worth it if you keep the car more than a year, park outside, and want washing to be easier. The UV and dust load in Dubai is exactly what a coating defends against. It is not worth it if you are about to sell the car, if the clear coat is already failing, or if your main worry is stone chips, in which case paint protection film is the correct product.

No. A ceramic coating is only a few microns thick. It adds chemical resistance and gloss, not impact resistance. It will help against very light marring during washing, but it will not stop a stone chip or a key scratch. Paint protection film is the product that absorbs impact.

It depends on the paint, and this is the part most quotes hide. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirls and holograms, so if defects are there and are not polished out first, you seal them in for the life of the coating. On newer or well-kept paint there is nothing worth sealing in, which is why we sell a coating-only tier at AED 999. From AED 1,400 up, the correction is part of the price rather than an extra billed after the coating is quoted.

Both, depending on the tier. The AED 999 coating-only tier is mobile: the crew comes to your villa or building and applies it there in a single visit. The polishing tiers from AED 1,400 are done indoors because of the polishing rather than the coating — it throws compound dust, it has to be judged under controlled lighting rather than sun, and it runs a full day or more. For those we collect the car and return it, free, anywhere within Dubai.

The AED 999 coating-only tier never leaves with us. It is done at your address the same day. The 1-step package takes a full day, morning until evening. The multi-step correction takes up to two and a half days because each correction stage has to be finished and inspected before the next one starts.

Not for the first seven days, while the coating fully cures. After that, washing is easier than before because dirt and water release from the coated surface. Keep the beading topped up by adding a Ceramic Refresh, AED 99, to any Washii wash.

Graphene coatings are ceramic coatings with graphene oxide added to the formula. Suppliers claim less water spotting and better heat dissipation, which matters in a hot climate, but independent long-term testing is thin and the practical difference for a daily-driven car in Dubai is small. Preparation and correction quality affect your result far more than which of the two labels is on the bottle.
