Honest expectations: Ceramic coatings are not magic scratch protection. They help protect against contamination, improve gloss, improve water behavior, and make washing easier. Proper paint prep before coating is strongly recommended, and regular maintenance washes still matter to get the full lifespan from your coating. Paint Correction or a light polish is the ideal foundation.

Our Process

How we do it, step by step.

  1. Wash and decontamination

    Full hand wash, iron removal and clay bar so nothing is trapped under the coating.

  2. Paint preparation

    Light polish or full Paint Correction depending on the package, so the coating bonds to a flawless surface.

  3. Surface prep wipe

    A dedicated prep solution removes any oils so the ceramic bonds properly.

  4. Ceramic application

    The coating is applied panel by panel and leveled by hand for an even, streak-free finish.

  5. Cure and inspection

    The coating is allowed to flash and cure. We inspect every panel under lights before finishing.

  6. Aftercare walk-through

    We explain how to wash and maintain the coating so you get the full lifespan out of it.

Expected Results

What your car will look and feel like.

  • Water beads tightly and sheets off after every wash
  • Brighter, glossier paint with more depth
  • Strong resistance to UV, bird droppings, tree sap and bug etching
  • Dramatically easier maintenance washes for years
  • Realistic expectation: a ceramic coating is not scratch-proof. It protects against chemical damage and makes washing safer, but cannot stop rock chips or aggressive contact.

Service FAQ

Ceramic Coating questions.

We offer 1 year, 3 to 5 year, and 8 year ceramic coating tiers. Real-world lifespan depends on the tier you pick, paint prep, and how the car is maintained.

Yes, but it is much easier. We recommend a gentle hand wash about every 2 to 3 weeks to keep the coating performing at its best.

A ceramic coating is permanent until it wears off. Any swirl, scratch or contaminant left under the coating gets sealed in. Prep is the most important step.
