Ceramic Coating

Durable paint protection that makes washing easier and keeps gloss longer.

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, water-shedding layer. It adds durable protection against UV, road film and chemical staining, makes water bead and sheet off, and makes routine washing noticeably easier. It is protection and easier maintenance — not armor.

Starting at $800Final pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition and the correction required first.

What we do on the day

  1. Step 1

    Inspect

    We walk the paint with you and recommend the correction level needed first.

  2. Step 2

    Decontaminate

    Foam bath, iron remover, tar remover and clay treatment.

  3. Step 3

    Correct

    Polishing so the coating locks in a clean finish rather than sealing in defects.

  4. Step 4

    Coat and cure

    Hand-applied coating, controlled cure, then follow-up inspection.

Ceramic Coating FAQs

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

No. It adds a hard protective layer and improves chemical and UV resistance, but it is not scratch proof and it will not stop rock chips.

Do I still need to wash my car?

Yes — just less effort. Dirt releases more easily and water sheets off instead of drying into spots.

Does the paint need correction first?

Usually some. A coating locks in whatever is underneath, so we correct first when defects are visible.

How long does a coating last?

It depends on the specific product and how the vehicle is maintained. We'll tell you the rated durability of the coating we're installing on your vehicle before you book.
