What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating provides a robust layer of protection for vehicles, enhancing both appearance and durability. This advanced liquid polymer, when applied to the exterior surface, chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a protective barrier against various environmental contaminants.
Hydrophobic Properties: The ceramic coating’s hydrophobic nature repels water, causing it to bead off the surface. This feature not only improves visibility but also makes cleaning easier, reducing the frequency and effort needed for washing.
UV Protection: It shields the paint from harmful ultraviolet rays, which can lead to oxidation and fading over time. By minimizing the sun’s impact, ceramic coating helps maintain the vehicle’s color and finish for longer.
Scratch Resistance: While not completely scratch-proof, ceramic coatings offer a higher level of resistance against minor scratches and swirl marks compared to traditional wax or sealants.
Chemical Resistance: The coating protects against harsh chemicals and contaminants, including bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime, preventing them from damaging the paint.
Enhanced Gloss: The application of ceramic coating provides a deep, glossy finish that amplifies the vehicle's aesthetic appeal, making it look newer for a longer period.
Longevity: Ceramic coatings typically last for several years with proper maintenance, significantly outlasting traditional waxing or sealants.
Overall, ceramic coating is an innovative solution for vehicle protection, offering a blend of aesthetic enhancement and long-term durability, making it ideal for high-end detailing.

Want to protect more than just your paint?
Comprehensive Protection for Your Automobile
Along with ceramic coating your paint, we can also provide you with protection on your wheels/calipers, plastic trim, interior, and glass. Our innovative solutions ensure your vehicle maintains its showroom-like appearance for years to come.
Our wheel and caliper protection packages utilize high-performance coatings that shield against brake dust, road grime, and environmental contaminants. This not only preserves the original finish but also makes cleaning a breeze.
For your plastic trim, we offer specialized treatments that prevent fading, cracking, and discoloration, keeping your vehicle looking fresh and vibrant.
Interior protection is paramount, and our advanced products safeguard your upholstery, leather, and other surfaces against stains, UV damage, and premature wear.
Finally, our glass coating solutions create a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and debris, improving visibility and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Important Notes:
For those looking to achieve a flawless finish before applying ceramic coating, we strongly suggest the 1 Step Polish for new or well-maintained vehicles. If your car exhibits more than moderate circular scratches, consider opting for a medium, heavy, or full wet sanding paint correction package to maximize results.
