Ceramic coatings for your bicycle
At De Fiets Soigneur in Limmen, we work with Hydro Coating and Graphene Coating from Proteam Bicycle Care. Both treatments focus on water- and dirt-repellent paint protection and easier maintenance.
Hydro Coating combines ease of use with a stated service life of two years. It is also available for consumer application.
Graphene Coating is our coating for professional application, with a stated service life of three years. Careful paint preparation and the right application technique are essential. Professionals learn this process in our Bicycle Detailing course.
Which treatment suits your bicycle? We discuss the condition of your paint, how you ride and how you maintain your bike. Contact us for advice or view our prices.

Coating or protective film?
Ceramic coatings and PPF serve different purposes. For contact points of bikepacking bags and areas that need extra protection against stone chips, we discuss Bike Armour protective film. We tailor the combination to your bicycle.
