Can I take my vehicle through a car wash?

We recommend avoiding automatic car washes, especially those with brushes. The brushes can introduce swirl marks and fine scratches over time. For the best results, hand wash your vehicle using a pH-neutral ceramic-safe soap. If you must use a car wash, choose a touchless option whenever possible.


Does my paint need to be in good condition before getting a ceramic coating?

No. Ceramic coating locks in the condition of your paint at the time it's applied, which is why proper paint preparation is so important. Every single vehicle we coat receives a polish, whether it is a one stage, or a 6-stage heavy cut. If the paint is not cutting out good, we use a rotary polisher. We also offer paint touch up for rock chips and deep scratches.


Is ceramic coating scratch-proof?

No. Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof and will not prevent rock chips or deep scratches. However, it does provide durable protection against UV rays, environmental contaminants, and everyday exposure while making your vehicle much easier to maintain.


How long does ceramic coating last?

We offer multiple ceramic coating packages with different levels of protection, ranging from approximately 2 years to 10 years. The lifespan of your coating depends on the product selected and how well it is maintained.


Will ceramic coating keep my vehicle cleaner?

Yes. Ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic surface that repels water and helps prevent dirt, grime, and other contaminants from sticking as easily. Your vehicle will still need regular washing, but it will stay cleaner longer and be much easier to clean.


Can ceramic coating be applied to a brand-new vehicle?

Absolutely. In fact, protecting a new vehicle early is one of the best ways to preserve its finish. Although, despite contrary belief new cars still need at least a one stage polish. They come straight off the lot with scratches and swirls. We refuse to coat anything unless we polish it beforehand. The quality and longtivity of a coating is traced back to the preparation.


How should I maintain my ceramic coating?

We recommend washing your vehicle regularly using a pH-neutral ceramic-safe soap and drying it thoroughly after every wash to help prevent water spots. We also provide our customers with a ceramic-safe wash soap and ceramic maintenance topper to help maximize the performance and longevity of their coating. If you do not have time to dry it when you wash it, you are better off not washing it. Nothing is worse than hard water spots left on your paint.


What parts of my vehicle can be ceramic coated?

Depending on the package you choose, we can apply ceramic coating to your paint, wheels, glass, plastic trim, headlights, interior leather, fabric, vinyl, and other exterior surfaces.


Is ceramic coating worth it?

If you want to protect your investment, reduce the time spent washing your vehicle, and enjoy a long-lasting, glossy finish, ceramic coating is one of the best upgrades you can make.
