Ceramic Coatings
Long-lasting paint protection with deep gloss, easier maintenance, and professional-grade durability
Protection that lasts years — not weeks.
Real Ceramic Coating Performance
This is the same vehicle shown above after receiving a professional ceramic coating.
Notice how water doesn’t sit on the surface — it immediately sheets off the paint. This hydrophobic effect is what helps keep your vehicle cleaner and makes maintenance significantly easier.
Tired of Your Paint Losing Its Shine?
If your vehicle constantly looks dull, gets dirty quickly, or is covered in swirl marks and water spots, you’re not alone. North Carolina sun, road grime, and regular washing all take a toll on your paint.
Our ceramic coating service is designed to solve that.
By applying a professional-grade coating to your vehicle, we create a durable, protective layer that enhances gloss, repels water, and helps keep your vehicle cleaner for longer.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s exterior that chemically bonds with the paint. Unlike wax or sealants that wear off in weeks or months, ceramic coatings provide long-term protection and performance.
Once applied, the coating creates a slick, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while enhancing the depth and clarity of your paint.
Why Choose Ceramic Coating?
Long-lasting protection (years, not weeks)
Deep gloss and enhanced paint clarity
Hydrophobic (water beads and rolls off)
Easier cleaning and maintenance
Helps reduce minor swirl marks
Protects against UV damage and oxidation
Proper Prep Is What Makes the Difference
The quality of a ceramic coating comes down to the prep work.
Before any coating is applied, your vehicle goes through a full exterior detail and decontamination process to remove embedded dirt, iron deposits, and surface buildup.
For most vehicles, we strongly recommend paint correction before applying a coating. This removes swirl marks, light scratches, and imperfections so the coating is applied to a clean, flawless surface.
Once coated, whatever condition your paint is in gets locked in — so doing it right the first time makes all the difference.

Our Process
1. Pre-Rinse
We begin with a thorough rinse to remove loose dirt and debris from the surface.
2. Wheels and Tires
Wheels, tires, and fender liners are deep cleaned using dedicated tools and wheel-safe products.
3. Foam Pre-Soak
A thick foam is applied to break down dirt and safely lift grime from the paint.
4. Rinse
The vehicle is rinsed to remove loosened contaminants and reduce the risk of scratching.
5. Hand Wash
We perform a careful hand wash using microfiber mitts and soft detail brushes for emblems and tight areas.
6. Final Rinse
Reveals clean paint ready for the next steps.
7. Drying
After a final rinse, the vehicle is dried using air blowers and premium microfiber towels — minimizing contact for a scratch-free finish.
8. Decontamination (Iron Removal & Clay Bar)
We remove embedded contaminants using an iron remover, followed by a clay bar treatment to leave the paint completely smooth and ready for correction.
9. Paint Polishing & Correction
The level of correction depends on the condition of the vehicle.
At minimum, a polishing step is required to properly prepare the paint and ensure the coating looks and performs its best. Additional correction may be recommended to remove swirl marks and imperfections.
10. Panel Preparation
A professional panel prep solution is used to remove polishing oils and ensure proper bonding of the coating.
11. Ceramic Coating Application
The coating is carefully applied in controlled sections to ensure even coverage and maximum performance. Excess product is leveled and removed, leaving behind a durable, high-gloss protective layer.
11. Final Touches
Tires are dressed and final details are completed to deliver a clean, finished look.
Curing Process
Your vehicle must remain dry for a minimum of 24 hours after application to allow the coating to properly cure.

FAQ
-
Yes — especially if you want long-term protection and easier maintenance.
Unlike wax or sealants that wear off quickly, ceramic coating provides years of protection, enhanced gloss, and a surface that stays cleaner longer. For customers who care about keeping their vehicle in top condition, it’s one of the best investments you can make.
-
In most cases, yes.
Ceramic coating does not remove scratches or imperfections — it locks in the current condition of your paint. That’s why we perform at least a polishing step, and often recommend paint correction, to ensure the best possible result before applying the coating.
-
Our ceramic coating is rated for up to 5 years of protection.
The actual longevity depends on how the vehicle is maintained, whether it’s stored indoors or outdoors, and overall driving conditions. With proper care, regular washing, and maintenance, you can expect long-lasting performance, gloss, and protection throughout its lifespan.
-
Yes — but the biggest factor in how your vehicle looks comes from the preparation beforehand.
Ceramic coating enhances gloss, depth, and shine, giving your vehicle a cleaner, more reflective finish. However, it does not remove scratches or imperfections on its own.
That’s why we perform at least a polishing step — and often recommend paint correction — before applying the coating. This restores the clarity of your paint so the coating can lock in a like-new appearance.
-
Ceramic coating can be added to a paint enhancement or paint correction service starting at $400+, depending on vehicle size and condition.
Because the paint has already been properly prepared, this allows the coating to perform at its best — delivering maximum gloss, protection, and durability.
For a full standalone ceramic coating service, packages start at $800+.
-
No — your vehicle will still need to be washed.
However, ceramic coating makes maintenance much easier. Dirt, water, and grime don’t stick as easily, meaning your vehicle stays cleaner longer and is faster to wash.
-
Ceramic coating helps reduce minor swirl marks and light marring, but it does not make your vehicle scratch-proof.
Proper washing techniques are still important to maintain the finish.
-
Typically between 8 to 12 hours, depending on vehicle size and condition.
-
After the initial curing period, regular hand washing is recommended to maintain the coating’s performance.
Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, as they can cause unnecessary wear. We also offer maintenance detailing services to help keep your coating performing at its best.
-
Yes — ceramic coating provides significantly longer-lasting protection and better performance than traditional waxes or sealants.
While wax may last a few weeks and sealants a few months, ceramic coatings can last for years with proper care.
