How long does it take to repair my vehicles stone chips?
- 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Depending on the extent and number of stone chips around the vehicle we can make effective repairs with even quite heavily chipped paintwork.

Our range of automotive paints provides us with the ability to match just about any OEM colour. From varying shades of reds, whites, blues, greens, yellows and blacks through to pearls and metallics. Our technicians are expertly trained to match the existing finish.
What’s the difference to other touch ups systems?
- Genuine high build, high quality repairs. For over 25 years Final Touch has developed a unique airbrush spray method that continues to set the standards in the repair industry and stand out against all the others. This process is NOT a coloured polish or ink.
How long do the stone chips repairs last?
Our repairs use high-solid OEM approved automotive paint so our repairs will last as long as the OEM finish itself. Final Touch paints are unique to Final Touch and, specifically formulated for our use.
How new does the Stone Chip repair end up looking?
- Let’s be honest, there is nothing like a re-spray if you are looking for that perfect flaw free finish.

Our repairs are industry standard and ‘optically undetectable from 2 metres’ meaning you can enjoy your new car feeling at a fraction of the time and cost. We work with all the leading automotive brands and, for over 25 years.

Can you repair a peeling or flaking clear coat?
- No! Peeling clearcoat is a sign of failure of the clear coat itself and it needs a full respray at a paint shop.
Why would I get a cut and polish detail done on my car?
- Owners looking to sell their car faster and for higher value often use us to prep the car. A good paint finish with a quality sealant wax or ceramic coating also protects the vehicle and makes it easier to clean, saving time, water and the environment.
What are the main benefits of ceramic coatings?
Repel rain, mud, and dirt. Unlike wax or factory paint, a ceramic coating does a better job of protecting the exterior of the car. The best car coating products have hydrophobic properties and will make water and rain bead instead of a pool on the hood. Mud and acid rain splashed on the car slide off the smooth surface without leaving a stain. The same goes for snow, bird droppings, or ice as they roll off the car without sticking to its surface. This helps prevent UV damage, rust, and oxidation.
UV Protection. For the most part, leaving your car in the sun for too long tends to cause the car’s paint to fade and even crack. The ultraviolet rays of the sun have a destructive effect on the car’s surface. Many ceramic coating brands prevent this damage as well as other forms of corosion such as rust and oxidation.
Improved protection. With a ceramic coating for your cars paint, your car gets a semi-permanent layer of protection that bonds with the paint at the molecular level. That protective layer is tougher than the soft wax and can withstand ultra harsh treatment both from the terrain and the elements. In effect, you’re not just protecting the car paint, but also protecting the body of the car itself against scratches, chemicals, and anything else that gets thrown at it.
Glossy finish. Regular car waxes have a warm appearance that gets dull when left out in the open. This compares to a sharp candy appearance you can get with a ceramic top coat. It gives the car a high-gloss finish that doesn’t fade under the sun or with the passage of time.
Which coating is suitable for my vehicle?
Ceramic coatings lock in the vehicle’s finish, providing a lasting shine and making it easier to maintain. They also act as an extra layer of protection to withstand ultra-harsh environmental conditions and the elements; repel rain, mud, dirt, bird droppings, salt, UV, and just about anything else.
It’s important when we choose which one is suitable for you and your car to consider durability (years of performance; 2, 5 or 10), ease of maintenance, level of hardness, cost, and level of gloss/ age of your car.
What are the key benefits of PPF?
Paint Protection PPF films mould to your car’s surface. They seal in the paint finish and can add an extra level of gloss, while adding a self-healing layer that is both durable and scratch resistant. Brilliant for high impact areas and those prone to scuffs and damage like Door Sills and Top of Rear Bumper. PPF offers you the ability to protect the look of your car without altering the colour.
Prevent stone chip damage and scuff marks in high impact areas (door sills, door handles, boot lids).
Modern films are non-yellowing and UV stabilised with a degree of self-healing ability while remaining optically clear.
Protects the long term appearance and value of vehicles.
Ideal for leasing, company vehicles, private motorists, transport and trucking companies.
How long does PPF last?
With built-in UV protection and self-healing properties, our PPF films help protect the long-term value and appearance of your vehicle. UV stabilised film can last for many years with 7 to 10-year manufacturer warranties. What’s more, with our PPF maintenance care packs we can help you keep it looking like new.
