Ceramic Coating Service FAQs

  • 1. What exactly does ceramic coating do?

    Ceramic coating adds a durable layer over your paint that makes your car shine and helps it stay cleaner longer. It repels dirt, dust, and light debris, so washing is easier and your car keeps looking sharp without extra effort.

  • 2. How long does it last?

    How long it lasts depends on the package you choose and how you take care of it. Single applications can last a couple of years, while double layers with paint correction can hold up for several years if you keep up with regular washes.

  • 3. Will it fix scratches or swirl marks?

    Ceramic coating itself won’t remove scratches, but that’s where paint correction comes in. I can level your paint first so it looks smooth and clear, and then the ceramic layer locks in a long-lasting shine.

  • 4. Can I wash my car normally after it’s coated?

    Absolutely. You can wash it like usual, but it’s best to stick to gentle, non-abrasive soaps and microfiber cloths. That keeps the surface looking glossy and prevents unnecessary wear.

  • 5. Do you coat other parts besides paint?

    Yes, I cover more than just the paint. Depending on the package, wheels, windshield, headlights, taillights, and exterior vinyl and plastics can all get a layer of ceramic. It’s about making the whole car look finished, not just the body panels.

Ceramic Coating Vs. PPF—Key Differences

Ceramic coating and Paint Protection Film (PPF) both help your car look its best, but they do it in different ways. Knowing the difference can help you decide which is right for your ride.

  • Purpose and Function

    Ceramic coating is a clear layer that goes on top of your paint to enhance shine and make cleaning easier. It helps repel dirt, dust, and light debris. Paint protection film, on the other hand, is a thicker, more durable layer designed to take the hits from rocks, road debris, and scratches, keeping your paint looking like new.

  • Appearance

    Ceramic coating keeps your paint glossy and rich without changing the color or finish. PPF is clear, but it can be glossy, matte, or color-changing depending on the version you choose. Matte PPF even gives your car a satin finish while still guarding against wear.

  • Durability and Maintenance

    Ceramic coating makes washing easier and helps your car look fresh, but it won’t stop chips or heavy scratches. PPF is built to absorb impacts and can last for years even under rough conditions. Both benefit from regular care, but PPF handles the tough stuff that ceramic coating can’t.

  • Applications

    Ceramic coating is applied to paint, glass, plastics, and even vinyl surfaces to add shine and make upkeep easier. PPF is mostly applied to high-impact areas like hoods, bumpers, fenders, and side mirrors, or full-body coverage if you want total defense. Each has its place depending on what you want to accomplish.

How to Prep For Your Ceramic Coating Appointment

Getting your car ready for ceramic coating makes a big difference in the final result. A few simple steps on your end help the coating go on smoothly and look its best for years.

  • Give Your Car a Good Wash

    Make sure your car is clean before you bring it in. Dirt, dust, or grime left on the surface can interfere with the coating process and affect how smoothly it goes on. Even if I do a final prep, a clean car helps the job go faster and ensures the best results.

  • Skip Wax or Sealants

    If you’ve applied wax, sealant, or any other coating recently, let me know. Those products can prevent the ceramic from bonding properly. It’s best to have a bare, polished surface so the coating sticks and lasts.

  • Check for Paint Issues

    Ceramic coating shows every detail, good or bad. If your paint has chips, scratches, or dull spots, it’s a good idea to address them before your appointment. I can fix them during the service if needed, but it helps to know what we’re working with ahead of time.

  • Clear Out Personal Items

    Make sure your car is free of loose items, inside and out. I’ll be working around every panel, wheel, and sometimes the interior, so clearing out personal belongings makes the process smoother and keeps nothing from getting in the way.

  • Plan for Time in the Shop

    Ceramic coating takes time, especially if paint correction is involved. Your car may need to stay for several hours or even overnight, depending on the package you choose. Plan ahead, so you’re not left without a ride unexpectedly.
