What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a premium, advanced paint protection solution designed to safeguard your vehicle's exterior. It’s a liquid polymer applied to the surface of your car, which chemically bonds with the paint to form a durable, hydrophobic layer. This layer acts as a shield, providing unparalleled protection against environmental contaminants and maintaining the vehicle’s pristine appearance for years.

Why Your Car Needs A Ceramic Coat
Superior Protection
Ceramic coating forms a strong, resilient barrier that protects your vehicle from a range of potential damage. This includes resistance to UV rays, oxidation, acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap, and road salt.
Hydrophobic Properties
One of the standout features of ceramic coating is its water repellent nature. This hydrophobic layer causes water and other liquids to bead up and roll off the surface, significantly reducing the likelihood of water spots and making the vehicle easier to clean.
Enhanced Durability
Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that need frequent reapplication, ceramic coatings offer long-lasting protection. With proper maintenance, a high-quality ceramic coating can last several years, keeping your car looking freshly detailed.
Gloss and Shine
Ceramic coating enhances the depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paint, giving it a high-gloss finish that highlights its natural beauty. This glossy effect not only improves aesthetics but also makes imperfections less noticeable.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
Our 3-step process—cleaning, paint correction, and ceramic coating—ensures your vehicle’s surface is flawless before application. This thorough approach, which can take from 8 hours to a few days, guarantees optimal results and long-lasting protection. Each step is essential to achieving a pristine finish and maximizing the benefits of the ceramic coating.
Step 1: Ceramic Coating Preparation
Before installing a ceramic coating or even before enhancing/correcting the paint , we have to ensure that the entire surface is not only clean, but completely stripped bare! This requires a lot more than just a simple car wash. During the paint stripping and decontaminating phase we walk through 5 major ceramic coating preparation stages
- Pre-Wash: Remove surface dirt without touching the paint.
- Traditional Wash: Clean the paint using a 2-bucket method to prevent imperfections.
- Iron Decontamination: Use chemicals to remove microscopic contaminants that can damage the paint.
- Clay Bar Treatment: Smooth the paint by removing embedded contaminants, leaving a glassy surface.
- Final Wipe Down & Solvent Removal: Eliminate any remaining oils, residues, or waxes with a specific solvent.
Step 2: Paint Correction
After thoroughly cleaning and preparing the paint, the next step is paint correction. This process addresses and smooths out imperfections in the clear coat. Since ceramic coatings provide long-term protection, any flaws in the paint will remain once the coating is applied.
In Austin, TX, and surrounding neighborhoods where we face hot summers, rain, hail, pollen, and even snow, it's crucial to correct paint imperfections before applying the ceramic coating. This ensures a flawless surface that allows the coating to bond effectively.
Paint correction involves two main techniques: Paint Enhancement and Paint Correction. Both are essential for achieving a smooth, polished finish that maximizes the benefits of your ceramic coating.
Step 3: Ceramic Coating Application
With the preparation complete, we’re ready to apply the ceramic coating. Think of it like a surgeon: most of their work is in the prep, and the actual procedure is a fraction of the total time. The same goes for ceramic coatings—while the application itself only takes 1 to 3 hours depending on your vehicle’s size, the preparation is where the real effort lies.
The entire process, including paint correction and coating application, can take between one day to 2-3 days to complete. This extensive preparation ensures a flawless finish and maximizes the longevity of the coating. The result is a durable, lifetime protection for your vehicle, which explains the investment.
Ceramic Coating: An Investment in Your Vehicle
Investing in ceramic coating is about safeguarding the long-term value and appearance of your vehicle. Unlike temporary solutions, ceramic coatings provide durable, long-lasting protection that enhances and preserves your car’s paint.
Here’s why it’s a valuable investment:
- Enhanced Paint Protection: Ceramic coatings form a resilient shield over your vehicle’s paint, protecting it from UV rays, environmental contaminants, and minor abrasions. This means your car’s finish remains in top condition for years, preserving its original shine and luster.
- Reduced Maintenance: The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings repel water and dirt, making your vehicle easier to clean. This reduces the need for frequent washes and detailing, saving you time and effort.
- Increased Resale Value: A well-maintained vehicle with a flawless finish is more attractive to potential buyers. Ceramic coating helps maintain your car’s pristine appearance, which can enhance its resale value and appeal.
- Longevity and Durability: The advanced technology in ceramic coatings ensures long-term protection, often lasting several years. This durability means you’re investing in a solution that continues to deliver benefits well into the future.
