Is Ceramic Coating Right for Your Vehicle?
Use this quick checklist to see if ceramic coating makes sense before you book.
• You want deeper gloss that doesn’t wash away after a few rinses
• You’re tired of waxing every few months and want longer protection
• You park outside and want defense against UV, bird droppings, bugs, and road film
• You just corrected the paint and want to lock in the results
• You care about resale value and want your vehicle to stay newer-looking
If these sound like you, ceramic coating is likely a good fit. If not, a simple wash, clay, and seal or exterior detail may be all you need.
Ceramic Coating Package
Our 5-year Nano Pro ceramic coating is designed for drivers who want long-term gloss, easier washing, and serious protection—not something that wears off in a few months.

• Professional-grade Nano Pro ceramic coating rated for up to 5 years with proper care
• Deep, glassy gloss that doesn’t wash away after a few rinses

• Includes thorough wash, decontamination, and machine polishing prep on painted surfaces
Ceramic Coating Add-Ons

Our Ceramic Coating Process
1. Inspect & wash
We inspect your paint and wash the vehicle with a pH-balanced soap to remove loose dirt and road film.
2. Decontaminate
We use iron remover and clay where needed to pull bonded contamination out of the clear coat so the surface is clean and smooth.
3. Polish & prep
We machine polish painted surfaces as needed to improve gloss and remove light hazing, then wipe down with a panel prep solution so the coating can bond properly.
4. Apply ceramic coating
We apply Nano Pro ceramic coating in controlled sections, level high spots, and follow the proper cure times and techniques.
5. Final inspection & aftercare
We inspect the finish under proper lighting, wipe down any remaining residue, and walk you through simple aftercare so your coating lasts as long as possible.
When Ceramic Coating Isn’t the Best Move
Ceramic coating is an amazing tool, but it isn’t right for every vehicle or situation.
• Severely faded or peeling clear coat – coatings won’t fix failing paint.
• Deep scratches through the clear coat – if you can feel it with your fingernail, a coating won’t make it disappear.
• Heavy oxidation or rust – ceramic coating can’t stop existing rust or restore badly oxidized panels.
• Very tight budget or short-term ownership – if you’re selling soon or just need basic protection, a wash, clay, and seal may make more sense.
If you’re selling soon or just need basic protection, a wash, clay, and seal or exterior detail may make more sense.
Ceramic Coating FAQs
Q: How long does your ceramic coating last?
A: Our Nano Pro ceramic coating is rated for up to 5 years with proper care. Actual longevity depends on how the vehicle is washed, stored, and driven, but we’ll give you realistic expectations based on your situation.
Q: Will ceramic coating make my car scratch-proof?
A: No coating can make paint completely scratch-proof. Ceramic adds hardness and makes it more resistant to light marring and wash swirls, but it won’t stop deep scratches or impact damage.
Q: Do you have to do paint correction first?
A: For the best results we recommend at least a light correction on most vehicles before coating. Ceramic coatings lock in whatever is underneath, so fixing haze and swirls first gives you a much better final finish.
Q: How do I care for my car after it’s coated?
A: We recommend touchless or high-quality hand washes, pH-balanced soap, clean mitts, and drying with soft towels or a blower. Avoid automatic brush washes. We’ll walk you through simple aftercare when we deliver the vehicle.
