Ceramic coating, paint correction and marine surface protection. We read the paint first, then build the treatment around what it actually needs — so the finish you drive away with is the one that lasts.

Princeton coated
Drag the handle · gloss simulation on a real Princeton project
Penang gives paint a hard life — salt air, tropical sun, hard water, daily rain. Princeton runs two divisions built for exactly that.
Full interior and exterior restoration — decontamination wash, machine paint correction, ceramic coating, and the trim and glass work most shops leave out. The goal is not a shiny car for the weekend. It is a surface that stays easy to clean for years.
Saltwater, UV, chemicals and mechanical wear attack a vessel every day it floats. Our marine formulations are specified for that environment — protecting hulls, superstructure and deck hardware, and cutting how often a vessel comes out of service for cosmetic work.
01
Ceramic coating
A hard, hydrophobic layer bonded to the clear coat. Depth, gloss, and dirt that rinses off instead of sticking.
02
Paint correction
Machine polishing that removes swirls, holograms and wash marks before anything is sealed over them.
03
Detail wash
Two-bucket hand wash, clay decontamination, wheels and shuts. The reset every coating starts from.
04
Water mark removal
Hard-water etching lifted from paint and glass — the Malaysian problem almost every parked car has.
05
Paint & trim restoration
Faded plastics, chalky black trim and tired headlights brought back and then sealed so they hold.
06
Steam cleaning
High-temperature steam for cabins, seats and engine bays. Deep clean with very little water.
Coating locks in whatever is underneath it. That is why three quarters of the job happens before the coating bottle is opened.
Every panel is hand washed, then clayed to pull out bonded contamination — road film, iron fallout, tree sap, bird etching. If it stays on the paint, it gets sealed under the coating permanently.
Swirls and scratches are levelled by machine, then refined with a final polish. This is the stage that creates the depth people notice — the coating only preserves it.
Panel by panel, applied by hand with a pad in a controlled bay. Layer count is set by the package and by how the paint measured during inspection.
The coating is levelled with microfibre at the right flash point, then left to cure before the car leaves. Rushing this is the single most common reason a coating streaks.
Three levels, same standard of work. The difference is coverage, correction depth and how long the protection is engineered to hold.

We measure and read the paint before quoting. No package is priced off a photo.
The same detailers who inspect your car are the ones who correct and coat it.
You leave with a wash routine that suits the coating, plus scheduled check-ins.
Salt air and hard water are local conditions, and the specification accounts for both.
A coating holds up on a maintenance routine, not on hope. VIP members get their car back in the bay on schedule, at member rates, without chasing a slot.
A slot held for you, including in the year-end rush.
Reduced pricing on maintenance and top-up work.
Coverage that stays valid while you keep to the schedule.

The questions owners actually ask at the counter. If yours is not here, message the studio and we will answer it properly.
It depends on the package, the paint underneath and how the car is washed. A correctly applied coating on maintained paint holds its water behaviour and gloss for years, not months. What shortens it is automatic brushes, harsh detergents and skipping maintenance — which is exactly what the aftercare plan is there to prevent.
Usually yes, at least a light stage. New cars pick up marks in transport, storage and pre-delivery washing. We inspect first — if the paint is genuinely clean, we tell you and you do not pay for correction you do not need.
One day for an entry coating, two to three days for a full correction and coating, longer for heavy restoration or marine work. You get a firm date at inspection, and we tell you before we start if anything we find is likely to change it.
Touchless is fine. Brush and cloth tunnels are not — they put back exactly the swirl marks we just spent days removing. We will show you a two-bucket routine that takes about twenty minutes.
Yes. The ship industry division uses marine-specific formulations built for saltwater, UV and chemical exposure. Scope, access and dry-dock timing are worked out on site — contact the studio and we will arrange a survey.
We are at 188E Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Bayan Lepas 11900, Penang. Walk-ins are welcome for a look at the paint, but bay time is booked in advance — message us first and we will hold a slot.
A paint inspection takes about twenty minutes and you leave knowing exactly what your car needs — and what it does not.
