Chemical armor for the paint you paid for.
A glass-like SiO₂ layer bonded to your clear coat — hydrophobic, UV-blocking, and resistant to the things that etch unprotected paint fast.
Not wax. Not a coat of paint. A bonded ceramic layer.
Ceramic coating is a silica-based (SiO₂) liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, transparent, glass-like layer. Wax washes off in about three months. A properly installed ceramic coating stays bonded for years.
It’s chemical armor — not physical. It won’t stop a rock chip. It willstop the things that quietly kill paint: UV oxidation, bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain, road salt, and bonded contaminants.
Every coating includes:
9H & 10H professional coating
The two hardest ratings in consumer ceramic. Ultimate gloss, ultimate resistance.
Full paint decon + prep
Iron & tar removal, clay-bar decon, and multi-step wash before a drop of coating touches your car.
5–10 year protection
Depending on the package — with real maintenance guidance so it lasts.
Hydrophobic + self-cleaning
Water sheets off. Dirt lifts on the next wash instead of bonding.
Same-day completion
Drop it off, pick it up looking better than the showroom.
CARFAX-registered warranty
Real coverage tied to your VIN. Not a handshake.
How much does ceramic coating cost — and is it worth it?
Professional ceramic coating for cars typically runs $500 to $2,500+, depending on vehicle size, paint condition, and how long you want the coating to last. Here’s exactly what drives your quote — and why a real coating pays for itself the first time it saves a panel from bird-dropping etching or a swirled-out repaint.
Spray or SiO₂ boost. Good for a season, not real ceramic protection.
Sedans & small SUVs. Includes decon, single-stage polish, and 9H application.
Trucks, exotics, and paint-corrected finishes. Multi-layer 10H, CARFAX-registered.
What actually changes your quote
- Vehicle size. A compact sedan has roughly half the panel area of a 3-row SUV or full-size truck — and coating is priced by the square foot of paint we prep and treat.
- Paint condition. New or garage-kept paint needs light prep. Swirled, oxidized, or previously-waxed paint needs paint correction first — otherwise the coating locks in every defect for the next decade.
- Warranty length. A 5-year 9H coating is a single layer of durable ceramic. A 10-year 10H is a harder resin, applied in multiple layers, and registered to your VIN through CARFAX — more product, more labor, more coverage.
- Add-ons. Wheel-face coating, glass coating, interior fabric & leather protection, and PPF on high-impact areas all extend what a base package covers.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
Compare the numbers: a single etched panel repaint runs $550–$1,650, and most cars need more than one before the paint’s life is up. A 10-year coating averages out to roughly the cost of two premium wax jobs per year — while blocking 99% of UV, resisting bird droppings and tree sap, and cutting wash time in half because dirt lifts instead of bonding.
Where it pays back fastest: daily drivers parked outside, leased vehicles (turn-in condition), trucks that work, and any car you plan to sell — coated vehicles consistently correlate with 5–15% higher resale.
Where it doesn’t: a car you’re flipping in 6 months, or paint that needs body work first. We’ll tell you honestly before quoting.
