ADVANCED NANO-CERAMIC PAINT PROTECTION - BACKED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

How Ceramic Coating Protects Your Vehicle

A professional ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle’s paint to create a durable, transparent layer of protection. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that sit on top of the surface and wash away within weeks, a properly applied ceramic coating becomes part of the paint itself – delivering years of measurable protection with minimal maintenance.
The result is a vehicle that resists environmental damage, repels water and contaminants on contact, and maintains the deep gloss and color depth that drew you to the car in the first place.

Sedan$350
Midsize SUV$450
Large SUV$550
Paint correction/polishing not included.
Our most advanced single-layer coating for gloss, swirl resistance, and contaminant repellency. This optically clear coating chemically bonds to your paint, creating a slick, durable barrier that stays glossy and easy to clean.

Sedan$600
Midsize SUV$700
Large SUV$800
Vehicle must qualify for registration. Paint correction/polishing not included.

Sedan$750
Midsize SUV$850
Large SUV$950

Sedan$1,200
Midsize SUV$1,400
Large SUV$1,600
Vehicle must qualify for registration. Paint correction/polishing not included.
For customers who already have clear or matte PPF installed. Layering a ceramic coating over your film deepens the gloss, restores ease of cleaning, and extends the working life of the film — also the best way to rejuvenate older film that's lost its slickness.
Starting at $300. Ask about this at your consultation.

What's included in every installation

  1. Professional Consultation
    We assess your vehicle’s condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the right protection tier for how you drive and how long you plan to keep the car.
  2. Paint Correction
    Before any coating touches your paint, we perform thorough surface correction to remove swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it — we make sure what’s underneath is flawless.
  3. Surface Preparation
    Chemical decontamination, clay bar treatment, and IPA wipe-down ensure a completely clean surface for maximum coating adhesion.
  4. Precision Application
    Our certified technicians apply each coating layer in a climate-controlled bay with advanced lighting to ensure complete, even coverage with zero high spots or missed areas.
  5. Curing & Inspection
    Infrared curing followed by a final multi-point inspection under specialty lighting. Your vehicle leaves only when we’re satisfied with the result.
  6. Aftercare Guidance Detailed care instructions, recommended wash products, and ongoing support to maximize the life and performance of your coating.

Why ceramic coating is worth the investment

 

  1. Preserve Resale Value
    A coated vehicle maintains its paint condition, color depth, and overall appearance — tangible factors that translate directly to higher resale or trade-in value.
  2. Reduce Maintenance Costs
    No more waxing. Less frequent washing. Better protection against environmental damage. Over the life of a multi-year coating, the savings in time and products are significant.
  3. Save Time
    A hydrophobic surface means faster washes, less scrubbing, and a car that stays cleaner between washes. Most coated vehicles can be maintained with a simple rinse and dry.
  4. Drive With Confidence 
    UV damage, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, industrial fallout — a professional ceramic coating handles what the Chicago suburbs throw at your paint, so you don’t have to worry about it.

ceramic coating FAQ

How long does ceramic coating last?

Depending on the package, our coatings last from 2 to 8 years. Durability depends on the tier selected, driving conditions, and maintenance habits. We’ll recommend the right option for your situation during your consultation.

In most cases, yes. We do it before every install. A ceramic coating locks in whatever is on the surface beneath it — including swirls and scratches. Paint correction removes those imperfections first, so the coating seals in a flawless finish rather than flawed one.

Yes. Our coatings are specifically designed to bond with PPF. Layering ceramic over film deepens the gloss, adds hydrophobic properties, and extends the life of the film.

Pricing varies by vehicle size, paint condition, and the protection tier you choose. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your vehicle.

Wax sits on top of the paint and washes away within weeks. Ceramic coating bonds chemically with the paint at a molecular level, creating a semi-permanent shield that lasts years. It’s harder, more durable, more hydrophobic, and requires far less maintenance.

Regular hand washing with a pH-neutral shampoo is usually all that’s needed. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommended products with every installation.
