Ceramic Coating

Service Description

A full ceramic coating application is a complete restoration of your vehicle's paint with a level of surface protection that lasts for years not months. Unlike conventional waxes and polymers, ceramic coatings form a chemical bond with paint and clear coat. The steps that precede a full ceramic application have also evolved. When you choose any of our finish coating services, you also need to select the option that pairs with your vehicle's preparation requirements. A complete 5 step process is required to fully decontaminate all the surfaces prior to ceramic application. An explanation of these steps is listed under "Paint Correction" in the "Services" section. Reasons to opt for a full ceramic service include: 1) Ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface that causes water, dirt, and grime to bead up and roll off the paint. This makes washing your vehicle significantly easier, requiring less effort and less frequent cleaning sessions. 2) Ceramic coatings create a durable, semi-permanent bond with your vehicle's paint, acting as a protective barrier against various threats including environmental contaminants like UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime that can etch, stain, or fade your vehicle's finish over time. 3) Ceramic also offers superior resistance to chemical etching from things like acid rain or harsh cleaners compared to traditional waxes or sealants. 4) Ceramic coatings amplify the depth, clarity, and vibrancy of your vehicle's paint, creating a deep, glossy, "wet-look" finish. This enhanced shine and color vibrancy can make your car look showroom-fresh for longer. 5) While not completely scratch-proof, ceramic coatings add a layer of hardness and slickness that makes the paint more resistant to light scratches, swirl marks, and minor abrasions from daily wear and tear or improper washing techniques. 6) Ceramic coatings act as a protective barrier, reflecting harmful UV rays and preventing oxidation and fading, preserving your vehicle's finish. 7) While the initial investment in ceramic coating may be higher than waxes or sealants, its superior durability and longevity can lead to long-term savings. You'll spend less on exterior detailing, and potentially costly paint correction or repainting. 8) According to Edmunds, potential buyers of pre-owned vehicles often value the shine and protection a ceramic coating offers, making them willing to pay more for a well-preserved vehicle.
