Ceramic coating is a nano-ceramic formula that bonds with your vehicle’s paint to create a durable, glass-like layer—harder than standard clear coat.

It resists scratches, UV fading, and contaminants, and offers self-cleaning hydrophobic protection that repels water and contaminants.

Unlike waxes or sealants—which are temporary—ceramic coating offers permanent protection, deeper gloss, and superior durability. It also enables easier cleaning and longer-lasting shine.

There are a few simple ways to tell if a vehicle has a ceramic coating:

Water Behavior:

Ceramic-coated vehicles repel water extremely well.

When it rains or you rinse the car, you’ll see tight, round water beads or fast sheeting—water quickly slides off the surface.

Shine & Gloss:

The paint will often have a deep, glossy, glass-like finish that looks freshly detailed, even weeks after washing.

Ease of Cleaning:

Dirt, bugs, and road grime are much easier to wash off a coated vehicle.

The surface feels slick to the touch, and wash mitts glide over it effortlessly.

Still not sure?

If you're unsure whether a vehicle is coated or if the coating is still active, we can do a quick inspection or water test to let you know.

Application time varies based on vehicle size and coverage area. Most installations take between 1 to 3 days to complete. This allows for careful surface prep, precise film installation, and proper curing to ensure a flawless finish and long-lasting protection.
