Ceramic coating

Gloss thatsurvives winter.

A hard, hydrophobic layer bonded over corrected paint. Salt, sap, bug guts, and hard water stop etching your clear coat and start rinsing off instead.

A real coating cross-links to the clear coat. Water sheets off, brake dust rinses instead of sticking, and washing gets noticeably faster.

What it actually does

Not a wax. Not a wrap.

Wax sits on paint and washes off in six weeks. Coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and stays for years. It will not stop a rock chip — that is what film is for — but it stops nearly everything chemical.

Correction comes firstA coating locks in whatever is under it. Every job starts with decontamination and at least a single-stage polish.
Winter road saltWasatch canyons in February are brutal. Coated paint releases salt film in a rinse instead of holding it against the clear coat.
Hard water spottingUtah water leaves minerals. Coating keeps them sitting on top where they wipe off rather than etching in.
Washing gets fasterMost owners cut their wash time roughly in half. Dirt has much less to grab.
Annual inspection includedBring it back each year and we check the coating, top it if needed, and keep the warranty active.

Side-by-side numbers for wax, sealant, and a real coating are in theceramic coating comparison tool.

How it runs

Three days, mostly prep

01

Wash and decontaminate

Foam, hand wash, iron remover, tar, and clay. Every contaminant has to be off before polishing.

02

Correct

Paint is measured, then machine polished to remove swirls and etching. This is where the gloss comes from.

03

Panel wipe and coat

Polishing oils are stripped, then coating is applied panel by panel and leveled by hand.

04

Cure

The vehicle stays indoors overnight. Keep it dry for the first 24 hours after pickup.

Coating questions

Before you book

Does a ceramic coating stop rock chips?

No. A coating is measured in microns and is chemical protection, not armour. It stops water spots, bug etching, bird droppings, and UV fade, and it makes contamination release instead of bonding. If you want chip protection you want paint protection film.

Is paint correction included?

A single-stage correction is included with every coating, because a coating locks in whatever is under it. Heavier defects, single-stage paint, and anything needing wet sanding are quoted after we inspect the car under proper lighting.

How long does a coating really last?

The durability figure is honest for a maintained car: two years on the entry system, five on Signature, nine on Elite. Maintained means hand washing with a pH-neutral soap and not running it through a brush wash. Neglected, any coating dies early.

Do I still have to wash the car?

Yes — a coating makes washing faster and safer, not optional. Dirt releases with far less pressure, which means fewer swirls, and water sheets off instead of spotting. Plan on a hand wash every two to three weeks.

Can you coat wheels, glass, and interior?

All three. Wheel faces are best done off the car so the barrels get coated too, which is why brake dust stops sticking. Glass coating makes rain bead and roll off above about 40 mph. Fabric and leather coatings resist spills and UV cracking.

How long does the car need to stay dry?

The coating flashes in the bay and is handling-safe when you pick it up, but it keeps cross-linking for about a week. Keep it out of rain for 24 hours and off automatic washes for a week. We hand you written care instructions at pickup.

Is a nine-year coating worth three times an entry coating?

Per year of protection, the longer systems cost less — that is the whole point of the comparison tool. Whether it is worth it depends on how long you are keeping the car. If you lease for three years, the entry or Signature system is the sensible spend.

Can you coat over paint protection film?

Yes, and we usually do. It makes the film easier to clean, adds UV protection to the urethane, and means the whole car behaves the same way when you wash it.
