Ceramic Coating
What ceramic coating is
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. Once cured, it bonds with the paint and forms a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water, resists contaminants and dramatically reduces the need for regular washing or waxing. Unlike waxes or sealants, it doesn’t just sit on the surface.
What you get
- Deep gloss and showroom shine
- Protection from UV, chemicals and corrosion
- A self-cleaning, hydrophobic surface
- Long-term durability, 3 to 7+ years depending on the package
- A fit for every vehicle, from everyday drivers to exotics

Questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Irvine, CA?
Pricing varies by vehicle size, paint condition and the package you choose (3-year, 5-year or 7+ year). Every quote is tailored to your specific vehicle, so contact us for an exact price.
How long does a ceramic coating appointment take?
Most appointments take 1 to 2 days depending on the package and paint condition. Every package includes full paint decontamination and a single-stage correction before the coating is applied.
Does ceramic coating protect against rock chips?
Ceramic coating hardens your paint’s surface but is not designed for rock chip resistance. That’s what paint protection film is for. For complete protection, we recommend PPF on high-impact zones with ceramic coating over the rest of the vehicle.
What’s the difference between a 3-year and a 7-year ceramic coating?
The primary differences are coating thickness, hardness rating and chemical resistance. Our 7+ year Signature package uses a professional-grade coating with higher hardness and greater chemical resistance than our 3-year Standard package. All packages start with full decontamination and paint correction.
Is ceramic coating worth it in Southern California?
Yes. Intense UV, bird droppings and coastal air make this one of the hardest environments on automotive paint. Ceramic coating dramatically slows oxidation, repels contaminants and cuts wash time year-round.
