What is ceramic coating?
A liquid layer we bond to your paint by hand. It hardens into a thin, glass-like shell that makes your paint deeper and glossier and keeps dirt and water from sticking.
It’s not wax. Wax wears off in weeks. A ceramic coating lasts for years. One important thing: a coating is not armor against rock chips. That’s what paint protection film is for.
Why people coat their car.
Five reasons, in plain English.
Deep, wet-look gloss
The coating makes the paint look richer and shinier, like it just left the showroom.
Water beads and rolls off
Rain, dirt and bugs don’t stick. Your car stays cleaner longer.
Washing takes minutes
Dirt wipes off with a normal wash. No more scrubbing, no more waxing.
Protects from the sun
It helps stop the sun from fading and dulling your paint over the years.
Resists light swirls
It helps paint resist the fine swirls that come from washing. It does not stop rock chips.
Dull. Brilliant.

Questions.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
It’s the same price for every car. See your price in about a minute.
What’s the difference between a coating, wax and PPF?
Wax is a thin layer that wears off in weeks. A ceramic coating bonds to the paint and lasts years. Paint protection film is a physical layer that stops rock chips. Coatings add gloss and easy washing. Film adds impact protection.
Will it stop scratches and rock chips?
It helps resist light swirls, but it won’t stop rock chips or deep scratches. For that, add paint protection film.
Does my car need paint correction first?
Some do. We inspect your paint first. If it needs correction, we quote it separately. If not, you don’t pay for it.
How long does it last?
Essential lasts 2 to 3 years. Premium lasts 5 to 7 years.
Do I still need to wash my car?
Yes, but it’s much easier. Dirt doesn’t stick, so a regular wash is all it takes.
How long does it take?
Most cars are dropped off in the morning and picked up the same day or the next. Polishing is part of it, which takes time.
When can I wash it?
Wait about a week. We’ll give you simple care instructions at pickup.
