What Is Ceramic Coating?
To put it simply, a ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that, when applied to the surface of your vehicle, chemically bonds with the paint to create a durable, protective layer.
Book Your AppointmentAt the molecular level, a polymer is a substance made up of repeating units that are bonded together in long chains, giving the coating its strength and flexibility. When it comes to ceramic coatings, this means that the formula forms an extremely strong, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while enhancing the paint’s shine.
In other words, once applied, the ceramic coating essentially becomes a second skin for your vehicle’s paint. It helps protect the surface from harmful elements like UV rays, road salts, bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants that can cause the paint to degrade over time. The coating adds a glossy finish, making your vehicle easier to clean, while offering long-lasting protection and a deep, high-quality shine.

Do All Vehicles Need a Paint Correction Polishing Before Application?
Whether your paint is like new or needs some love, we will correct it to the best condition possible using a multi-step machine polishing process that removes swirls, minor scratching, oxidation, and water spots for a near-perfect finish included and required for your coating. This is a vital step on cars new and old alike to ensure the best possible bonding surface before ceramic coatings are applied.
Remember, you won’t be able to fix your car’s paint imperfections after the layer of ceramic is applied. It is always important to handle these issues before application.
