Never Wax Again with our Ceramic Coating
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to a car’s exterior. It bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint to form a protective layer on top of the clear-coat. This layer protects the car from the elements, including UV rays, chemicals, and abrasions.
This is not a “wax-on-wax-off” application. The ceramic coating is a semi-permanent liquid layer that bonds to the vehicles surface. It is commonly referred to as a “sacrificial” layer of protection as it’ll absorb the weather elements like rain, dirt, and snow to better protect the paint underneath.
Benefits of a Ceramic Coating
Here are some benefits you get with a coating:
- Produces the most durable protection that lasts between 3 to 8 years
- You only need to apply it once (and not every 3 months like other forms of protection)
- Creates a deep level of gloss that’s incomparable to other forms of protection like wax or sealant
- Provides unmatched hydrophobic properties that keeps your car cleaner and makes it easier to wash
Before the coating is installed, your vehicle must first be properly prepped with our Level 3 Clay & Seal Package or higher. If you apply the coating without the proper prep work, you’re not able to get all the benefits from the coating.
That’s the difference of a professional ceramic coating installer. Additionally, if it’s not properly installed, you won’t get the actual benefits and you’ll see a ton of smudges across your vehicle.
This is what we consider “high spots”. You’ll see this when the coating was not properly applied and it was left to dry for too long without wiping off.
As a general rule of thumb, the more durable the coating, for instance, a 1 year versus a 9 year coating, the harder it is to install. You have to understand the weather variables as that can play a major factor in the installation process.
Common Myths About Ceramic Coatings
Yes, coatings are long-lasting and durable, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with your vehicle and think the coating will protect it.
It has its limitations and it’s important to understand the limitations of what the ceramic coating can handle. Too many times we see customers overthink the protection aspect of the coating and are then disappointed when they see swirls or etchings in the paintwork.
The coating will not make your paint scratch-proof. When we say the coating will resist light swirls and scratches, we genuinely mean very light swirls and scratches that might be induced when properly washing or drying the vehicle.
If you drag a dry and dirty wash mitt across the paint, you will scratch the paint. If you drag your hand or leg across the paint, you will scratch it.
The coating will not protect your paint from rock chips. The only real option that can protect your paint from rock chips will be paint protection film (PPF).
No matter how many layers you apply of any protection, whether it’s wax or ceramic coating, it cannot stop the impact of a rock hitting your vehicle.
The coating requires maintenance to prolong the durability. Just like many other things in life, if you don’t care for the coating, it will degrade overtime and not last it’s intended lifespan.
You have to properly wash, dry, and boost the coating for maximum durability. A coating that was meant to last for 8 years can start to break down at year 3 if not cared for properly.

CERAMIC COATING FAQ's
Once the coating is applied, the vehicle should not get wet for the first 24 hours so it can fully cure. After that, we advise our customers to not wash their vehicle for the first week.
If your paint is chipping and fading due to clear coat failure, the only option to fix that is a repaint. A ceramic coating will not be able to help.
We do not apply coatings to vehicles that have not gone through the proper prep process since you will not fully get all the benefits of the coating without it. You do not need paint correction though if you do not want it.
Yes! As long as the vehicle is maintained properly, you can expect the ceramic coating to protect your vehicle for years to come!
