What Ceramic Coating includes.
Ceramic coating is the highest level of paint protection available. Unlike wax (which lasts weeks), a professionally applied ceramic coating bonds to your clearcoat and creates a permanent, hydrophobic, UV-resistant shell that lasts up to seven years. We start with full paint decontamination and an IPA wipe, then apply multiple layers of certified ceramic chemistry. The result: water beads off instantly, dirt and grime slide off in the rain, and your paint stays protected from fading, bird droppings, tree sap, and the relentless Texas sun. We finish with a written aftercare guide and offer an optional annual top-coat maintenance plan.

Do I need paint correction first?
For best results, yes โ ceramic locks in whatever is underneath, including swirl marks. We bundle correction + coating at a discount; see Paint Correction or ask in your quote.
Is ceramic better than wax?
Different. Wax is a 4โ8 week dressing, ceramic is years-long armour. If you wash your car at home and want it to look great with zero maintenance, ceramic is the value play.
How long does the ceramic coating process take?
Typically 1โ2 days. Day one is paint correction and surface prep. Day two is ceramic application and initial curing. The coating reaches full hardness over 7 days, during which you should avoid washing.
Can I wash my car normally after ceramic coating?
Yes, but with a few adjustments. Use a pH-neutral car soap (no dish soap), a microfiber mitt (no brushes), and avoid automatic car washes. The coating makes washing much faster โ dirt slides right off.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a daily driver?
Especially on a daily driver. The coating reduces how often you need to wash, protects against bird droppings and tree sap that would normally damage paint, and keeps the car looking polished with minimal effort.
