What ceramic coating product do you use?

3M™ Ceramic Coating is a proprietary ceramic coating which provides a protective layer that chemically bonds to automotive paint finishes. This ceramic coating is a top choice among ceramic installers for its long-lasting protection and durability. 3M™ ceramic coatings can provide years of shielding against elements like UV rays, acid rain, dirt and other environmental factors.

Other Common Questions:

What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating is a clear, semi-permanent, liquid polymer that's applied to a car's exterior to protect it from the elements. It's made of silicon dioxide and other additives, like titanium dioxide, that create a tough bond with the car's paint and clear coat. The coating forms a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and grime, making it easier to clean and maintain the car. Ceramic coating can also protect against UV rays, light scratches, and chemical contaminants.

Is ceramic coating worth it?

YES!  Nothing protects a vehicle better than ceramic coating. Benefits of ceramic coating include: 

​

Enhanced protection: Ceramic coating can protect your car's paint from UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and minor scratches.

​

Easier cleaning: The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings make it easier to wash your car and remove water spots.

​

Increased resale value: A well-maintained car with a ceramic coating can command a higher resale value.

​

Improved appearance: Ceramic coatings can give your car a glossy, showroom-quality finish.

How long does ceramic coating last?

The average is 2-5 years.  Some companies claim 5-10 years, but in reality, that is not the case.  Factors that increase the life of ceramic coating include: parking inside a garage, parking out of the elements, frequency of washing, and how well it is maintained.  A car that is parked outside and left to the elements, washed very often or not maintained will last about 2-3 years.  You can expect up to 5 years for cars parked inside away from the elements, washed with very mild soap when needed, and maintained consistently.

Should I ceramic coat or detail?

Both have advantages and disadvantages.  For ceramic coating, cost is the only real disadvantage. With an exterior detail, the vehicle will need to be waxed again in 3-6 months.  Some of our cleints like a waxed car and some prefer a ceramic coated one.  We offer both!
