WHAT IS A CERAMIC COATING?
Ceramic Coatings are a liquid polymer that, when applied to your vehicle's exterior, cure to form a 3D molecular structure providing long-lasting protection and a deep, glossy finish. Impervious to chemicals, corrosion, UV exposure and high temperatures, Ceramic Coatings form a molecular bond to your vehicle’s paint and will not wash off your vehicle.
​
Unlike traditional waxes and paint sealants that wear off in weeks, Ceramic Coatings can provide years of protection with proper care. The molecular bond that is formed once cured creates a highly hydrophobic surface, meaning that water, dirt and grime slide off easily – making washing your car faster and easier than ever.
WHY SHOULD I GET A CERAMIC COATING?
Protection from the elements.
Ceramic coatings form a molecular-level bond with your vehicle's paint, protecting it from many environmental factors. This includes things such as UV rays, chemicals, and contaminates like tree sap, bird droppings and bug splatter that can etch into the paint over time.
Quick, effortless maintenance.
Ceramic coatings create a slick, hydrophobic surface on your vehicle, causing water to bead up and run off of the paint. This reduces the amount of dirt and grime that accumulates on the surface, making washing your vehicle easier and quicker.
Impeccable, long-lasting shine.
Ceramic coatings provide a deep gloss to your vehicle's paint, restoring the vibrancy it once had when new. The shine achieved from a ceramic coating is truly unmatched by any traditional wax or sealant, and can last for years to come.

COATING
PROCESS
STEP 1
WASH + DECONTAMINATE
Our process starts by performing a full exterior detail on your vehicle to remove any embedded contaminates. This includes a gentle hand wash, chemical decontamination, and clay bar.
STEP 2
PAINT CORRECTION
After the detail, we polish your vehicle to remove swirls, scratches and other imperfections in the paint. This provides a smooth, prepared surface for the coating to bond to.
STEP 3
COATING INSTALLATION
Once fully prepped, we evenly cover your vehicle with the ceramic coating. It is then allowed to cure onto the surface, forming an impenetrable molecular bond with the paint.
