Ceramic Coating
Protection that outlasts the season
A liquid glass layer bonded to corrected paint. It doesn't stop rock chips, and we won't tell you it does — what it does is make washing easy, keep California sun from dulling the finish, and hold gloss for years instead of weeks.

Remove all personal items before we arrive, or a 10% charge is added.
A heavily soiled car can cost up to 15% more than its package. If yours needs more than the package you booked, we’ll show you why and price the difference before we start — and we’re happy to look at a photo first if you’re not sure which to pick.
How long it lasts
Five years with normal washing, and we'll say plainly what shortens that: automatic brush washes, parking under sap-heavy oaks, and skipping the maintenance wash for a year.
Day 1 — install
Coating goes on. Car stays dry 24 hours.
Week 1 — full cure
Hand wash only, no chemicals.
Every 6 months — check-in
Free inspection, we top up if needed.
Year 5 — warranty ends
Most cars still bead water well past it.
