Prep is most of the job
A coating bonds to whatever it touches, so the paint has to be perfectly clean. Every coating starts with a full wash, iron remover and clay bar, then an inspection. If the paint has swirls or oxidation, we recommend correcting it first so the coating seals in a glossy finish rather than the defects.
What a ceramic coating does
A ceramic coating forms a hard, slick layer over the clear coat. It is not armor, and it does not stop rock chips, but it makes a real day-to-day difference in a rainy climate.
- Strong water beading and sheeting
- Dirt and road grime release more easily when washing
- Added gloss and depth
- Resistance to UV fading, bird droppings and tree sap etching
Coating versus wax
Wax looks great but wears off within weeks to months. A coating lasts far longer between applications, which is why many owners of new vehicles, dark paint colors and work trucks choose it.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
Ceramic Coating starts at $500. We give you a clear quote before any work begins. The main factors that shape the price of ceramic coating are:
- Vehicle size
- Paint condition and whether correction is needed
- Coating product and number of layers
- Wheels, glass or trim coating add-ons
