Ceramic Coating Packages

3-Year or 8-Year.

Both packages are the same job — the same prep, the same install, the same finish. The only difference is how long the protection lasts.

The Process

Every package includes proper prep.

Ceramic coating only performs as well as the surface it’s bonded to – so every package starts with the same two prep steps before the coating goes on.

// Step 1

Premium Exterior Detail

Full foam bath, decontamination, and mineral cleanse so the coating bonds to a genuinely clean surface.

// Step 2

One-Step Polish

Removes light swirling and surface imperfections so the coating goes on smooth, not sealed over defects.

Why Ceramic Coating

Protection that outlasts a wax.

Our premium ceramic coating provides long-term protection and an incredible level of gloss for your vehicle’s paint. This advanced coating forms a durable, semi-permanent layer that chemically bonds to the clear coat, creating a protective barrier that lasts for years. Once applied, the coating produces a highly hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants. Water beads and sheets off the paint, helping your vehicle stay cleaner for longer and making routine washes significantly easier. The coating also protects your paint from UV damage, oxidation, environmental fallout, and chemical contaminants that can slowly degrade your vehicle’s finish over time. Before installation, the paint is properly prepared to ensure the surface is clean and smooth. This preparation allows the coating to bond correctly and deliver maximum gloss, durability, and performance.

Frequently asked questions.

What’s included in the required prep, and why can’t I skip it?
The exterior detail, paint decontamination, and single step polish are all done in an effort to get the longest lasting results for your coating, and have your car looking its best during the life of the coating. We do understand that price can sometimes stop people from wanting to protect their vehicle, so we do offer short term protection in our Premium exterior, as well as all paint correction packages.
How do I wash the car once it’s coated?
Using a pH neutral soap and soft microfiber wash media is the best way to maintain your coating with a wash. Every 6–12 months we also recommend using a coating specific soap that can help “unclog” the coating from micro road contaminants, and using ceramic sprays afterwards can help the overall life of your coating.
3-Year or 8-Year — how do I choose?
How long do you plan to keep your vehicle? If you get a new vehicle every couple years, the 3-Year coating is perfect. However if you plan to keep your vehicle for a long time, the 8-Year coating will help you keep it looking newer for much of its life.
Does a coating stop scratches and rock chips?
It can help prevent some micro scratching, however the short answer is no. A ceramic coating is a micro, ceramic layer that bonds to the surface of your paint, and more than anything is a mineral and chemical protectant. Unfortunately, it’s not bulletproof.
How long does the install take, and when can I drive it?
We always set aside a whole day for ceramic coating jobs to ensure the highest level of results. However, depending on vehicle size and what level of correction/extras you choose, this process can take anywhere from 8–12 hours to complete. You can drive your vehicle and expose it to the elements the very next day!
