Ceramic Coating Protection
Ceramic coating applied in a controlled indoor garage facility — pickup included within our 30-mile radius, or drop it off directly. The application takes a full day, starts with thorough decontamination prep, and delivers 2–5 years of hydrophobic, chemical-resistant paint protection.
The preparation
and process
- Decontamination wash
- Clay bar treatment
- IPA panel wipe (removes residual oils and contaminants)
- 2-layer ceramic coating application
- Post-cure inspection
Applied indoors only: Ceramic coating requires a controlled environment — temperature, humidity, and dust all affect how the product cures. This service is performed in a dedicated indoor garage facility. Pickup and delivery within 30 miles is included in the price.
Full-day appointment — plan for 8–10 hours including prep. Paint correction can be added before the coating application for vehicles with visible swirls, scratches, or oxidation.

questions answered
What prep work is included before the coating goes on? +
Full decontamination wash, clay bar, and IPA panel wipe are standard before every application. Paint correction is optional — but it is worth understanding why it matters. Ceramic coating locks in the surface condition underneath it permanently. Swirls, scratches, and oxidation that exist before application will still be there after, sealed under glass. Correction removes those defects first.
How long does the ceramic coating last? +
2–5 years with proper maintenance. The range depends on the specific product applied and how the vehicle is cared for after. Automatic car washes, harsh soaps, and infrequent washing shorten longevity. Hand washing with a pH-neutral soap extends it. A maintenance routine is reviewed at delivery.
Do you pick up my car or do I drop it off? +
Either works. Pickup and delivery is available anywhere within the 30-mile service radius — schedule a time and the vehicle gets picked up, processed, and returned when it's done. Drop-off at the facility is also available. An appointment is required either way.
How long will I need to keep the car out of water? +
48 hours after pickup. No rain exposure, no car washes, no dew contact during that window. After 48 hours the coating is fully hardened and effective — regular washing can resume.
Does ceramic coating prevent rock chips and scratches? +
Ceramic coating does not stop physical impact. The coating hardens the surface and resists chemical damage, UV degradation, bird droppings, pollen, and light abrasion — but it will not absorb a rock strike. Paint protection film (PPF) handles impact protection on leading surfaces. Many customers apply ceramic coating over PPF to get both benefits.
Does my car need paint correction before coating? +
Not always, but frequently yes. Paint condition varies vehicle to vehicle. If there are visible swirls, scratches, or oxidation, coating without correcting them first seals those defects in permanently under glass. The vehicle gets inspected before the appointment, and an honest assessment is part of that conversation — the call to correct is yours to make.
