Ceramic coating.

Hand-applied ceramic coating. Long-lasting protection from water spots, UV damage, and contaminants.

Protect your paint for years.


Ceramic coating bonds to the paint as a clear protective layer. Water beads off, dirt won't stick, and your car stays glossy long after wax wears off. Ceramic doesn't make the car bulletproof, but it's easier to keep clean and washes get faster.

02 / How it works

Three steps. Done in order.


  1. 01

    Wash.

    Two-bucket wash, iron remover, clay bar, IPA wipe. The surface is bare and contaminant-free before we open the bottle.

    Apply.

    Hand-applied panel by panel in cross-hatch passes. Four to six hours total. We don't rush this step.

  3. 03

    Cure.

    Leave the car parked 24-48 hours, under cover or in your garage. Longer cure = harder, more durable coating.

03 / FAQ

A few of the most common.


How long does ceramic last?

A correctly applied full-car ceramic coating lasts years with proper maintenance. Actual durability varies by product, prep, and how the car is cared for. We follow the manufacturer cadence on the bottle.

Does it really make washing easier?

Yes. Water beads off rather than sheets. Bug splatter, tar, and bird droppings come off easier and bond less. The car stays cleaner between washes, and the washes themselves are faster.

Can I do it myself?

You can buy consumer ceramic. Application on prepped paint matters more than the bottle. Most DIY ceramic failures are prep failures, not product failures.
