Ceramic Coating for Cars, Trucks & SUVs

Ceramic coating bonds to your clear coat and leaves a slick, hydrophobic surface: water sheets off, dust and bug guts release with far less scrubbing, and the gloss holds up under Inland Empire sun instead of dulling by August. It's not armor against rocks — that's what PPF is for — but it is the best answer to hard water, tree sap, bird bombs and constant washing.

What you get

Water and dirt just leave

A hydrophobic surface means shorter washes and far fewer water spots.

UV and chemical resistance

The coating takes the sun and contaminants instead of your clear coat.

Real depth of gloss

Paired with paint correction, coating makes color look wet rather than flat.

Years, not weeks

Properly prepped and maintained coatings outlast wax by seasons, not days.

How the job runs

  1. 1

    Assess the paint

    We inspect swirls, etching and existing protection to set realistic expectations.

  2. 2

    Decontaminate

    Wash, iron removal, clay and panel wipe — coating only bonds to truly clean paint.

  3. 3

    Correct as needed

    Optional machine polishing, because coating locks in whatever is under it.

  4. 4

    Apply and cure

    Coating is leveled panel by panel and cured before the vehicle goes back out.

Turnaround: Plan on one to two days depending on paint condition and whether you add correction. Keep the car dry for the first 24 hours after pickup.

Common questions

Do I still have to wash the car?
Yes, just much less painfully. Two-bucket washes with a pH-neutral soap keep the coating performing.
Can you coat windows and wheels?
We can. Glass coating noticeably improves wet-weather visibility, and wheel coating makes brake dust rinse away.
Can it go over tint or PPF?
Yes — coating over PPF and tinted glass is common and adds slickness to both.
