Final pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and the work required. Your quote will be confirmed after reviewing your vehicle.
What This Service Includes
A four-year ceramic coating provides extended protection and a lasting glossy finish for your vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the paint to create a durable, hydrophobic layer that helps shield surfaces from dirt, water, and common environmental contaminants while making routine maintenance easier for up to four years when properly maintained. Unlike wax, which wears off in weeks, a properly applied ceramic coating can last for years. It's important to understand that ceramic coating does not make paint scratch-proof or maintenance-free — regular washing and proper care remain essential to preserve the coating's performance and appearance.

Premium Ceramic Coating — Frequently Asked Questions
The four-year ceramic coating option is designed to provide lasting protection and a glossy finish for up to four years when properly maintained. The coating's longevity depends on washing habits, environmental exposure, and following the maintenance schedule we provide. We'll walk you through everything you need to do to maximize the coating's lifespan.
Paint correction is a separate service that is often recommended before coating application. Any swirl marks or imperfections left before coating will be locked in beneath the coating, so we almost always recommend correction as a prep step. We'll assess your paint during the quote and recommend the right prep process.
No, ceramic coating does not make paint scratch-proof. It adds a hard, sacrificial protective layer that helps resist light marring and makes washing safer, but it cannot prevent all scratches. For maximum protection, we recommend pairing the coating with careful, paint-safe washing techniques.
Use pH-neutral car shampoo, avoid automatic car washes entirely, and follow the maintenance schedule we provide after application. Touchless or careful hand washing is the best way to preserve the coating's hydrophobic properties. We'll give you a complete care guide so you know exactly what to do and what to avoid.
Most vehicles can be coated, but the condition of the paint matters. Older or heavily oxidized paint may need correction before coating to ensure proper bonding and the best visual result. We'll assess your vehicle during the quote and let you know if prep work is needed.
The coating bonds directly to the paint surface, so any contaminants, swirl marks, or imperfections left behind will be visible beneath the coating. Proper decontamination and correction ensure the coating bonds to a clean, flawless surface for maximum durability and gloss. This is why preparation is the most important part of the process.
