Ceramic coating is the latest leap forward in car detailing, and involves a liquid-polymer solution bonding with your car’s paintwork to create a barrier to environmental hazards, while also making your classic easier to clean. Auto Finesse’s Caramics kit provides a comprehensive set of paint, wheel, interior and glass coatings that can be applied at home. This £100 set covers all the bases, and includes any preparation sprays required, plus sachets with ‘wet wipe’style applicators and gloves. It’s simple to apply, but requires an LED lamp to ensure that it’s all buffed off, plus six hours out of the elements to dry. GM www.halfords.com
