Ceramic Coating.
Ceramic coating is a liquid nano-ceramic (SiO₂) that chemically bonds to your factory paint and cures into a hard, glass-like shell. It locks in a deep, mirror-slick gloss, makes water and dirt bead up and roll off, and shields your finish from UV fade, oxidation, bird droppings and chemical stains — real protection that lasts years, not weeks like wax.
Done right,
the first time.
Every coating starts with a full decontamination wash, clay bar and — where it's needed — a light paint correction, so the surface is flawless before we seal it. We then hand-apply the ceramic panel by panel, level it, and let it cure in a controlled, dust-free bay so it bonds hard and even. You get your car back slick, glossy and far easier to keep clean.
Why it's worth it.
Deep, lasting gloss
A liquid-glass shine that keeps your paint looking permanently wet and freshly detailed.
Hydrophobic & self-cleaning
Water, mud and grime bead up and sheet right off, so the car stays cleaner and washes in half the time.
UV & oxidation protection
Blocks the sun's rays that fade and dull paint, keeping the color rich for years.
Chemical & stain resistance
Shrugs off bird droppings, bug acid, tree sap and road salt before they can etch your clear coat.
Years of durability
One professional application outlasts dozens of wax jobs — protection measured in years, not weeks.
Ceramic Coating FAQ.
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips?
No, and anyone who says it does is overselling. A coating protects against UV, chemicals, water spotting and grime, and it makes the paint far easier to keep clean. Stopping chips is a job for paint protection film, and the two work well together.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
A professionally applied coating is measured in years, not the weeks or months you get from wax or a spray sealant. How long depends on how the car is washed and stored, and we will tell you what to expect for yours.
Do I still have to wash the car?
Yes, but it gets a lot easier. Dirt has a hard time sticking to a coated surface, so most of it rinses off and the rest comes away with a gentle hand wash. You can skip waxing altogether.
Does the paint need correcting first?
A coating locks in whatever is under it, so prep matters more than the product. Every car gets a decontamination wash and clay bar, and we do a light paint correction where the paint needs it before any coating goes on.
Is it worth coating a brand new car?
New paint is the best time to do it. The finish is as clean as it will ever be, so the coating goes on with minimal correction and protects the car from its first winter instead of its third.
Will road salt hurt the coating?
Road salt is one of the reasons to get one. A coated car resists salt and brine far better than bare clear coat, and winter grime rinses off instead of baking on. Rinsing the car regularly through winter still helps.
