Ceramic Coating
A hard, glass-like layer that keeps gloss high and washing easy for years.
Overview
A ceramic coating bonds to your clear coat and forms a sacrificial, hydrophobic layer that is far harder than wax or sealant. Water beads and sheets away, brake dust and road film release with a gentle wash, and bird droppings have more time before they etch.
We apply coatings only after a paint correction, inside a dust-controlled bay held at 70 degrees and 45 percent humidity. Every layer is leveled under inspection lighting and cured with short-wave infrared, so the finish is uniform with no high spots.
What is included
Every item below is part of the standard service. Add-ons such as engine bay detailing or glass coating can be selected when you book.
- Paint correction to package level before coating
- Panel wipe to remove all polishing oils
- Coating on paint, gloss trim and exhaust tips
- Wheel faces and barrels coated with wheels removed (Reserve and Atelier)
- Glass coating on windshield and side windows
- Infrared cure and 24-hour indoor rest
- Registered warranty certificate
- Aftercare kit with pH-neutral shampoo and drying towel
- Complimentary 30-day inspection wash
Three ceramic tiers, compared honestly
Every tier includes paint correction first, a registered warranty and an aftercare kit. The difference is how long the protection lasts and how much of the car it covers.

Our process
Every step is documented with photos in your vehicle file.
Correct the paint
Coatings lock in the finish underneath, so we correct first. Essential includes a one-stage enhancement, Reserve and Atelier include two stages.
Strip and prepare
A dedicated panel prep removes polishing oils so the coating bonds directly to clear coat.
Apply in sections
Each panel is coated in small sections, flashed and leveled with fresh microfiber, checked under raking light for high spots.
Cure
Infrared lamps accelerate the initial cure, then the car rests indoors overnight before handover.
Why owners choose it
Gloss that lasts
Candy-like depth that does not fade between details.
Washing in half the time
Contaminants release easily, so maintenance washes are quick and safe.
Chemical and UV resistance
Protects against Southern California sun, sprinkler water and bird etching.
Warranty backed
Registered 2, 5 or 9 year warranty with annual inspection.

Ceramic Coating questions
No. A coating is measured in microns and adds chemical resistance, not impact resistance. For rock chips on the front end, pair it with paint protection film, then coat over the film.
Hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo every one to two weeks, dry with a plush towel or filtered air, and avoid automatic brush washes. Your aftercare kit and guide cover everything.
We hold the car overnight to cure. You can drive it the next day, but avoid washing it for seven days while the coating fully hardens.
