The practical result
Optional detailing upgrade
Two-Year Ceramic Coating
A professionally applied, true ceramic coating designed to protect for up to two years when properly maintained—not the ceramic spray wax included with our $199 and $260 car services. Paint correction, when needed, usually adds $75–$100.
Important distinction
The included ceramic spray wax is not this coating.
The $199 routine car service and $260 restorative car service include ceramic spray wax for quick gloss and water beading. This upgrade is a true, professionally applied coating designed for up to two years of protection when properly maintained.
Maintenance is required: use proper washing methods and keep up with the maintenance guidance our team provides. Automatic brush washes, harsh chemicals, and neglected care can shorten coating performance.
Will your paint need correction?
Look at the paint in direct sunlight or under a bright light.
Correction is likely needed
Visible swirl marks, light scratches, buffer holograms, haze, or dull areas should be improved before the coating is applied.
Correction may not be needed
Newer vehicles with clear, glossy paint and few visible defects can sometimes move forward without a one-step correction.
We make the final call in person
Photos and vehicle age are not enough. We inspect the actual paint before confirming whether correction is needed.
Typical added cost: $75–$100Only when a one-step correction is needed before coating.
A ceramic coating does not hide paint defects. If coating is applied over swirls, scratches, or holograms, those imperfections remain visible beneath it. We correct them first instead of coating over them.
When it makes sense
- Two- or four-door cars
- SUVs and trucks
- Owners committed to proper washing and coating maintenance
- Paint that is suitable for coating after an in-person inspection
What our team includes
- In-person vehicle and paint condition inspection
- Exterior wash and required coating preparation
- True ceramic coating application
- Final inspection and maintenance guidance before delivery
What it does not promise
- Two- or four-door cars are $600; SUVs and trucks are $700
- Vans, oversized vehicles, specialty vehicles, and anything outside those categories require an in-person inspection
- A one-step paint correction, when needed, usually adds $75–$100 to the coating price
- Swirl marks, scratches, holograms, and similar defects may require correction because ceramic coating does not hide them
- Newer vehicles may not need correction, but we must inspect the paint in person to determine that
- The coating is designed to last up to two years only when properly maintained
- Improper washing, automatic brush washes, or neglected maintenance can shorten its performance
- Heavy contamination or damaged paint may require additional work before coating
- A coating does not make paint scratch-proof or maintenance-free
