How long does a ceramic coating last?+
5 to 7 years with normal washing. The coating is a hard layer bonded to the clear coat, not a wax that rinses off. Keep it clean and it keeps working.
Does it stop rock chips?+
No. A coating protects against chemicals, UV, water spots and light scratches, and makes the car easier to clean. Rock chips are a job for paint protection film. The two work together, and plenty of customers do both.
Is paint correction really included?+
Yes, on every coating. We correct the paint first so the swirls and haze are gone before anything gets sealed in. How much correction your car needs depends on its condition, and we will tell you at drop-off.
How do I wash it afterward?+
Normal two-bucket hand washes or a touchless wash. Skip brush car washes and anything with wax in it. Most owners find the car stays clean longer and washes in half the time.
Can you coat a used car?+
Absolutely. Most of the cars we coat have a few years on them. The correction step brings the paint back first, then the coating locks it in.
How long is the car in the shop?+
2 to 3 working days. One to two days of correction and coating, then it cures overnight indoors before you pick it up.
How much does it cost?+
Every car is quoted individually based on size and the condition of the paint. Send the year, make and model and a photo if you have one, and you will have an out-the-door number within 30 minutes during business hours.
