A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it — good or bad. That's why every ceramic project at our Almancil studio starts with a paint-depth gauge and honest correction, and only then the coating: deep gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, easier washing and real UV resistance for the Algarve sun.
The €1,000 package is the honest base: machine polishing and ceramic protection for the body. €1,500 — the tier most clients choose — adds interior work and a stronger coating. €2,000 extends to glass and wheels. The coatings in these packages work for up to two years, kept alive by a simple 3-monthly care wash. Need longer? Coatings up to eight years exist and we fit them on request at roughly €500–600 on top of the project.
“A ceramic coating never lies about what's underneath it — it magnifies it. I run the depth gauge before I open a single bottle, and I won't let a client believe ceramic stops a stone chip; that's PPF's job, not mine to oversell.”
Final scope and price are confirmed at inspection — these are honest public anchors, not teaser rates.
Our house system is ClearFX — the ceramic line by RestorFX — applied by certified hands, alongside System X and Nasiol coatings we know just as well. Around the Golden Triangle you'll also hear GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum, Gyeon quartz coatings and graphene formulas — all serious chemistry when properly applied. The honest secret of every brand is the same: preparation decides the result. A '9H' logo on a bottle can't fix paint that wasn't corrected. If you have a brand preference, tell us — we'll compare options for your car and source what fits; by default we work with the system we trust.
A coating gives gloss, chemical resistance against bird droppings, tree sap and insects, and much easier maintenance — it does not stop stone chips. On chip-prone zones the right answer is self-healing PPF, and plenty of Almancil cars leave with both: film where the road bites, ceramic everywhere else. That advice is free and sometimes it means we sell you less.
ClearFX — the ceramic line by RestorFX — is our certified house system, with System X and Nasiol in regular rotation. Any other brand — GTECHNIQ, Gyeon — we source on request; the preparation standard never changes.
The coatings in our €1,000–€2,000 packages work for up to two years with the 3-monthly care routine — Algarve sun, salt air and dust included. Longer-life coatings up to eight years are available at roughly €500–600 on top.
For a result worth paying for — yes. We measure the paint with a depth gauge first, correct what the clear coat safely allows, and only then coat. The coating locks in whatever is underneath.
No — that's PPF's job. Ceramic gives gloss, hydrophobics and easier washing. Where chips are the real risk we'll recommend self-healing film for those zones instead of overselling the coating.
Oleg & the team did a fantastic job restoring my 1995 Jeep Wrangler — on budget, on time and exactly as promised, with regular photos and updates throughout. Excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again. 5*
A huge thank you to you and your team! My car has never looked so clean! Just Cars did an amazing job making my car look brand new. It was full of sand, dirt, food — everything the kids could possibly put in it, and years since its last proper detail. Just Cars was amazing. A huge thank you!!
My wife and I have been using Just Cars for a while now and always find the service fantastic — very professional and helpful. They've done numerous things for us, from valet to fitting stereos and mechanical work. Would highly recommend them.
I've had a great experience with JustCars — definitely a place I'll be coming back to! A professional team with friendly, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the quality of their work. Keep it up, guys — wishing you all the success!
The guys did work on the Ferrari and they did a great job — thank you!
Oleg is great. I bought a used BMW X5 from a private seller and the aluminium centre console had a few scratches. Oleg made it look brand new with a flawless wrap. Highly recommended.
So glad I found Just Cars. Oleg and his team sorted a small issue with my car's finish within 24 hours — and they're specialists in every kind of car maintenance. Highly recommended.
We had a tricky problem — removing dried-out vinyl lettering from our van that even the signage company couldn't manage. Alek quickly came up with a solution and the work was high-quality and super fast. Recommended for excellent professionalism.
When you love your car, go to Just Cars!!! What they do is truly amazing. When you collect your car it's better than picking it up from the Porsche dealership — and far better protected. Steven
