Coating service every 4–6 months (clay + sealant) — manufacturer’s recommendation, done by us coating service.
A coating won’t stop them — PPF film will. Full paint protection is usually both products: ceramic on the whole paint and PPF on the impact zones. PPF + ceramic coating packages at one price: from 2 490 zł.
See PPF packages →A ceramic coating on a car protects the paint from chemicals and sunlight, but it has limits. We describe them before work starts, so that half a year later there is no disappointment.
The coating is 2–3 µm thick — a stone from the motorway will go through it just as through the paint itself. PPF film 200–250 µm protects against chips — it is a different product and a different price. See PPF films
A coating preserves the paint in the state in which it finds it. If there are scratches, they stay under the coating for years. That is why correction always goes before application — or you give it up knowingly.
Dirt holds less and comes off with water alone, but it doesn’t disappear. The real difference: washing takes less time and doesn’t require scrubbing. A car doesn’t wash itself — nobody in the world sells that.
ArtDeShine states durability in wash cycles and always with the word “up to”. The actual time depends on how often and with what you wash the car and where it is parked. Warranties are a separate matter — you get those in writing and they have specific deadlines.
Every surface in the car gets dirty differently, so ArtDeShine has a separate coating for each. Add-ons can be ordered together with the paint coating or separately.
Carbon nanotube coating for surfaces working at high temperature. Contact angle 105–110°, pH 2–13 resistance. Brake dust stops biting in, wheels rinse clean with water alone.
Declared durability up to 2 years, water run-off angle 24.7°. In winter ice comes off more easily, in summer insects come off without scrubbing, and at speed the water runs off the glass by itself.
Leather, vinyl, upholstery, steering wheel and door panels. Matt finish — the coating doesn’t stiffen the leather or make it look like shiny plastic. Stains and wear from jeans come off much more easily.
Exterior plastics — from 300 zł. ArtDeShine TyreSeal tyre coating — free with every paint coating package.
We state how long the coating lasts — in years and in washes, from the manufacturer’s document. If it doesn’t last the stated period, we apply it again at our expense.
ArtDeShine manufacturer’s warranty and the studio’s warranty — you get the warranty document at pick-up. Kraken Detailing — ArtDeShine Partner. Manufacturer documents: installer instructions for Hybrid+ and Ayicon Pro, technical passport for NGC+ (Hybrid+, Ayicon Pro, NGC+).

Najlepszy serwis! Bardzo polecam! Przyjechałam na diagnostykę: zaproponowali usługę uwzględniającą moje życzenia i to, co warto było zrobić, a co ciągle odkładałam. Polerowanie rysy + ceramika + pełne czyszczenie wnętrza i zewnątrz (w tym białej skóry) wyszło w bardzo dobrej cenie. Dodatkowo sprawdzili po pięciu dniach, czy z ceramiką wszystko w porządku.

Reviews from the Kraken Detailing profile on Booksy and Google.
Ceramic coatings don’t end the contact with the client after one visit. At handover we stick a QR code sticker assigned to your car in the cabin. Half a year later, when the SMS is long gone, you point the phone camera and the page of this car opens. The sticker doesn’t age — every next visit attaches to it automatically.
The handover and acceptance protocols come to you as a PDF in Polish and Ukrainian, with a signature on a tablet and a copy by e-mail. All defects are recorded before work starts — there is nothing to argue about at pick-up.
A ceramic coating on a car bonds only to perfectly clean and prepared paint. That is why the application itself is the last two hours — everything else is preparation. The whole job takes one working day, or two with full paint correction.
We measure the paint thickness with a gauge and inspect the car under light. We tell you how much paint is left, what can be improved, and what is not worth doing. No obligation and no blind quote.
Two-bucket wash, removal of resin and deposits, clay, IPA degreasing. Scratches are either covered by the coating for years or removed first: single-stage polish from 900 zł, two-stage from 1 250 zł, deep from 1 800 zł.
Panel by panel, inspection under light, then curing before the first contact with water. At handover: protocol, photos before and after, and warranty documents — the manufacturer’s and ours.
Paint correction on its own is also a separate service — single-stage, two-stage or deep, from 900 to 1 800 zł. See polishing and paint correction
With us, from 1,300 zł net for the three-year coating up to 4,700 zł net (NGC+: one price for any body type) for the seven-year graphene coating. Three things affect the final price: the durability level chosen, the car's size (estate +20%, SUV +25%, pickup and larger +40%), and the paint's condition. We'll give you a specific amount over the phone — just send the make, model and a few photos.
Always two: the coating manufacturer's warranty and our studio warranty for the same period — 3, 5 or 7 years, depending on the level. At every level, the manufacturer's warranty is registered to a specific vehicle — we submit the make, model, plate number, product, application date and our studio's installation number.
No. The coating is 2–3 µm thick and has no cushioning properties. Only PPF film, roughly 200 microns thick, protects against stone chips. We often combine both: PPF on the impact zones, ceramic coating on the whole paint job.
ArtDeShine declares up to 5 years and about 350 washes for Ayicon Pro. The counter is the number of washes, not the calendar. With one wash a week, 350 cycles is enough for several years with room to spare; washing twice a week roughly halves that period. Regular decontamination service extends the coating's life.
Graphene is a sub-category of ceramic coating, not a separate technology — the same polysiloxane (PDMS) base, with added graphene oxide (rGO). The graphene addition raises resistance to UV, chemicals and corrosion and reduces mineral-deposit etching, i.e. water spotting. In our range that's the difference between Ayicon Pro (5 years, approx. 350 washes) and Nano Graphene Coating+ (7 years, approx. 400 washes) — same manufacturer, a higher level of the additive.
On a car straight from the showroom, decontamination and light single-stage correction is usually enough. On a used car, correction is necessary — otherwise you'll seal scratches under the coating for years. During the free inspection we say plainly how many polishing stages make sense, and when it's just overpaying.
One working day, and two with a full paint correction. The application itself takes about two hours — the rest is washing, decontamination, correction and curing the coating.
Ayicon Pro is a dense polymer geared toward gloss, resistance to water spotting and harsher washing methods — a declared up to 5 years and approx. 350 washes. Nano Graphene Coating+ is the flagship graphene coating: up to 7 years and approx. 400 washes, layer thickness 2–3 µm, chemical resistance pH 2–14. NGC+ can also be applied over PPF film and vinyl.
With the two-bucket method or touchless, with a pH-neutral shampoo, no polishing compounds and no brush car washes. The brushes at an automatic wash won't strip the coating right away, but they scratch the paint underneath it and shorten its life. Once every six months it's worth doing a decontamination service.
That's the best moment. The paint has no swirls yet, so correction is minimal, and the whole budget goes into protection instead of repair. On leased cars, the coating plus photo documentation help when handing the vehicle back at the end of the contract.
If you drive a lot on fast roads and worry about stone chips — PPF on the front end. If you mostly drive around town and dirt, acid rain, birds and colour fading bother you — ceramic coating on the whole paint job. At the inspection we advise based on how you use the car, not on what's more expensive.
At handover we stick a QR code sticker inside the cabin, assigned to your car. Once scanned, the car's page opens: every visit and treatment performed, active warranties with their dates, and before/after photos. No login, no password and no app. Every next visit attaches itself to the same sticker automatically.
Yes. At check-in you get an SMS with a link to the job's page — it refreshes itself and shows the current stage described in plain language, the name of the person working on the car, and photos from the job. The second and final SMS tells you the car is ready. Maximum two messages per visit — everything else lives on the page.
You can get an online quote for your car in 2 minutes. At the studio the inspection is free and comes with no obligation, 15 minutes. We’ll measure the paint thickness, look at the car under light, and tell you three things: what condition the paint is in, which coating level makes sense in your case, and what is not worth doing. Only then do we talk about price.
We work in Kraków and the surrounding area: Wieliczka, Skawina, Niepołomice, Zabierzów, Mogilany, Libertów, Podłęże, Bibice, Bronowice, Bieżanów-Prokocim, Wzgórza Krzesławickie.
