What is CineFinish?

Not a polish. Not a wax. Not a coating. CineFinish doesn’t hide, seal, or fill - it simply perfects the clean surface you’ve already worked for.

Post Wash

CineFinish is designed for the final pass; after you’ve washed and dried your car with a microfibre or chamois. It’s the point where the surface is clean but lacks that true, optical clarity.

Best Results

After a normal two-bucket wash or snow foam routine, you may see light water marks or dulling from detergent film. That’s the residue CineFinish removes, revealing a sharp, even gloss that feels ready for camera.

Details

For the best possible surface, use our clay bar before applying CineFinish. It removes the last traces of tar and road film so the spray can bond to a perfectly pure, contaminant-free surface.

CineFinish vs Polishes & Ceramic Coatings.

It’s in the details

Ceramic coatings promise long-term protection but often trap grit, oxidise unevenly, and demand expensive correction — more vanity than care. CineFinish delivers what cameras see: a pure, optical-grade surface you can refresh instantly, without the risk or the ritual.

  • CineFinish borrows from the same chemistry used in Zeiss-grade cinema lens care — optical surfactants that lift oils, water spots, and microdust without etching or build-up. Instead of sealing imperfections under a polymer shell, it restores a surface to true optical neutrality — the way light was meant to reflect. For paintwork, that means pure colour, clean highlights, and depth that reads like film glass.

  • CineFinish was born from a crossover obsession — the precision of cinema optics and the passion of automotive culture. Our team has spent years behind cameras on Top Gear, The Grand Tour, Formula 1, Formula E, and Le Mans — always chasing perfect reflections, perfect light. We know that pride in a car — that moment you walk away and still turn back to look. CineFinish exists for that feeling: professional-grade clarity made simple enough for anyone who loves the look as much as the drive.

  • Ceramic coatings sound scientific — but in truth, they only perform under lab conditions: sterile bays, perfect paint correction, no dust, no air, no life. In the real world, they trap grit, haze unevenly, and exaggerate flaws. The “five-year shield” myth depends on a finish no one can maintain. CineFinish was built for reality — not a showroom vacuum — giving you the same optical clarity without the ceremony, risk, or bullshit.
