Ceramic coating in Tønsberg — 3-step polish + coating, NOK 8,999
A coating seals the paint exactly as it is on the day it goes on. That is why a three-step polish — NOK 6,499 on its own — is inside the NOK 8,999, and the seal is the fourth step. We do the whole job where the car stands in Tønsberg.

The price
What NOK 8,999 covers
Nationally, ceramic coating runs from about 7,500 to 20,000 kroner, and the difference is almost always the preparation. A price at the bottom of that range usually means the coating goes straight onto the paint as it stands — swirl marks and all.
Our price is NOK 8,999 for a small car, and a three-step polish is inside it. Bought on its own that polish is NOK 6,499. The arithmetic is deliberately visible: you are paying roughly NOK 2,500 for the seal itself, and the rest is the work that makes it worth sealing.
An SUV adds 30 per cent and a van 40 per cent, stated in advance. All of Tønsberg is inside the free travel zone, so nothing is added for driving.

What is included
Four steps, and the coating is the fourth
A ceramic coating is a hard, chemically bonded layer on the clear coat. It cannot correct anything — it locks in the condition. Whatever is in the paint when the layer cures stays under it.
That is the whole reason the three polishing steps are in the price instead of being an add-on you can decline. Selling a coating without preparation is selling a seal over the problem.
Steps 1–3: the polish
worth NOK 6,499
Wash, degrease and decontamination, then cutting, polishing and a dedicated finishing pass that removes most scratches and wash marks.
- The paint is inspected under work lights between passes
- We tell you about scratches too deep to polish
- This is the same work as a three-step polish
Step 4: the coating
the seal itself
The paint is wiped down with a panel prep so no polishing residue is left, and the coating goes on panel by panel and is levelled to the right film.
- Applied only to corrected, fully clean paint
- Cures dry — the weather decides when we can do it
After: the maintenance
what you do
A coating lives on how the car is washed. Hand washing with a gentle shampoo and two buckets keeps it alive; brush washes wear it down.
- No automatic brush washes
- Underbody salt removal NOK 499 through the winter
- Advanced exterior wash NOK 1,200 lifts tar and insects gently
The honest answer
Is ceramic coating worth it?
It depends on what you think you are buying. If you are buying chemical protection, easier washing and a deep, hard gloss, the answer is yes — that is exactly what a ceramic layer gives, and on paint that has been corrected first the difference is obvious.
If you are buying an invulnerable car, the answer is no. We would rather say it here than have you find out on the motorway one March morning. No coating in this price class stops a stone.
What you get
- Chemical protection against road salt, bird droppings, insects and UV
- Dirt and water release more easily — washing is faster and gentler
- Deep, hard gloss on paint that has already been corrected
What you do not get
- Protection against stone chips — that is a paint film, not a coating
- Immunity to scratches from brush washes or the wrong wash method
- Paint defects hidden — which is why the polish is in the price
- A number of years from us: durability depends on how the car is used and washed
How we work
How we do it at your door
We come to your address with our own water, our own power and the whole kit on board. What you contribute is space and cover — everything else is on our van.
Coating is the one treatment where the weather genuinely decides. The layer has to cure dry, and a shower in the middle of curing ruins the film. So we agree the conditions before setting a date rather than hoping.
We look at the paint first
Photos or a quick walk-around tell us whether three steps are right, or whether the paint is good enough that a lighter option will do.
Wash, decontamination and three steps of polish
The full preparation described above. This is the long part of the job and the part that decides the result.
Panel prep and application
The paint is wiped down so no polishing oil is left, and the coating goes on panel by panel at a controlled pace.
Curing and hand-over
The layer is left undisturbed while it sets. We walk the car with you and explain exactly how it should be washed from now on.
What we need from you
Room around the car, and somewhere it can stand dry: a carport, garage, parking structure or settled dry weather. Allow real time — preparation and application are around sixteen hours of work, which we normally split across two visits. The car should stand dry for the first hours after application. If the forecast turns, we move the slot free of charge. Water and power we bring ourselves.
The area
We drive to all of Tønsberg
The base is Skiringsalgaten 6 B in 3116 Tønsberg. The first five kilometres are included, and that covers the centre, Eik in 3133, Sem in 3170, Barkåker, Husvik, Træleborg and Kilen. No travel fee inside town.
For coating one question matters more than distance: where can the car stand dry? At Eik, Sem and Barkåker a carport or garage is common, and then it is straightforward. If you are in the centre or by the canal with street parking, we either use a parking structure you have access to, or we place the job in a settled dry spell.
The reason people here end up with a coating is usually the same: road salt from the county roads and damp sea air make winter hard on paint, and a car washed often to get the salt off is also a car that collects swirl marks. A hard layer makes those washes easier and gentler.

Questions and answers
Common questions about ceramic coating
What does ceramic coating cost in Tønsberg?
NOK 8,999 for a small car, with a three-step polish included as preparation — that polish is NOK 6,499 bought on its own. An SUV adds 30 per cent and a van 40 per cent. All of Tønsberg is inside the free travel zone, so nothing is added for driving.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
We do not put a number of years on it, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does without qualification. Durability is governed by how the car is washed and where it stands: hand washing without brushes and without harsh chemistry extends the layer, while automatic brush washes wear it down quickly.
How do I maintain a coated car?
Hand wash with a gentle shampoo and two buckets, and keep the car away from brush washes. Through the winter, underbody salt removal at NOK 499 is the add-on that matters most. For tar or insects in the paint, the advanced exterior wash at NOK 1,200 lifts them without wearing the layer.
Can you apply a coating at my home?
Yes, that is how we work — water, power and equipment are on our van. The condition is that the layer cures dry, so we need a carport, garage, parking structure or settled dry weather. If the forecast turns, we move the slot free of charge rather than take the chance.
What is the difference between wax, spray ceramic and a ceramic coating?
Wax protection is the thin layer that goes on quickly. Spray ceramic costs NOK 1,999 as an add-on and is the middle ground: fast to apply, shorter life. Ceramic coating at NOK 8,999 is the hard layer, and it goes only onto paint that has been corrected first.
Does the paint have to be polished first?
Yes. The coating seals the paint as it is, so swirls and scratches stay underneath the layer for its whole life. That is why a three-step polish is included in the NOK 8,999 instead of being an add-on you can decline.
