Should be plenty of photos and video in near future.
P.S. Be great to see some pictures of your HP either post here or show us your car sticky thread.

Are they using Banana gloss 
Are they using Banana gloss
They won’t be as they will be using their new ceramic wash, ceramic wax products.
However I tend to use banana gloss great suds, smell etc but if the new stuff is as good as they are saying I shall be very impressed.
Right now they are just preparing the car for the treatment and giving it a thorough cleaning throughout along with maybe some polishing work too if required.

Off the top of your head do you know how much autobrite charge for a paint correction and ceramic coating? I can't find any pricing on their website.
I am afraid you need to ask them directly, varies from car to car and treatment and coatings requested.
They have decided to now do a full correct on my paint as thought it was mainly some light swirling they did find some paint defects and have such decided to resolve them for me, any way it is looking pretty fabulous so far:

Wow DAT GLOSS
Couple of photos the owner at Autobrite sent me.
Absolutely chuffed its shinier and cleaner than day I collected it and probably looks better than the day it rolled of the factory line as well and the original buyer of this car absolutely nailed it with the specification, so much elegance and it just looks spot on.

Oh yes

Looking fantastic! I'll give them a call in the spring to see what sort of price they quote. Sounds like they're worth the journey from Birmingham at any rate.

They’ve missed a bit, I’m dammed if I can see where mind you!
Looking epic mate

I had a quote on my C63 earlier this year from them. Paintwork was in pretty good condition and i got quoted abouy £450 for a 2 stage polish, paint correction and wax protection/sealant. I'd hazard a guess for their ceramic coating on top it'll be around 600-700ish.
If you're in Bham, worth looking at Staffordshire Car Care, based in Rugeley near Lichfield. Ended up going with them foe the paint correction/polish/Gyeon 5 year ceramic coating which was £750. Regarding Autobrites ceramuc coating be interesting to see how to stacks up to the other more established brands on the market especially durability. For me personally unless i was getting it at mates rates like Gibbo is, i suspect, I'd more likely steer towards someone else though it does look awesome in the pics above!

Autobrite make some fantastic products. Their biozyme cleaner got rid of the cat urine smell out of my rug that he decided to soil no problem!

Gibbo - your 458 looks stunning! Looking forward to seeing it one day IRL
I went with Staffordshire Car Care, for the above described work, on my last car, the R8 and they did a great job.
The HP currently has ppf on the front, sills and rear arches (applied about two years ago by the first owner).
I'm after a mirror gloss wet-look effect and have been told that the way to achieve this is; paint correction and ppf with a ceramic coating on top - is this correct and if so any recommendations in the Midlands area?

Yeah I drive it a lot so am sure you will see it.
The new ceramic range Autobrite are using on my car is designed to give that wet gloss look with easy ability to keep topping it up or to add further gloss by placing a high gloss wax on top for those summer days or when you just fancy doing a bit of old school waxing on your car on a nice summers weekend.
Hi there
All done, just waiting for a dry day now to go collect the car as they have agreed to keep it in storage until dryer weather as be a shame to cover it in dirt and salt after all their work:
They have a load of photos and videos, they will put on USB for me, I will probably take some more too and then post up some proper full car pictures in coming days/weeks.
