Not every customer needs the same coating package. Choose ceramic paint coating for long-term exterior protection, or New Car Shield for a more complete new-vehicle protection package.

Best for customers who want long-term gloss, easier washing, strong water beading, and protection for painted surfaces.
Includes full pre-wash, surface decontamination, minimum 1-step paint correction, ceramic coating on painted surfaces, glass coating, trim protection, and care instructions.
Option 2
New Car Shield
Best for new or newer vehicles that deserve complete protection from the beginning.
Includes interior deep clean, exterior decontamination, 1-step paint correction, ceramic paint coating, wheel coating, and window coating for full-vehicle protection.
Why It Matters
Protection that makes maintenance easier and paint look better longer.
Deep Gloss
Ceramic coating enhances shine and adds a slick, reflective finish that makes paint look deeper and cleaner.
Easier Washing
Hydrophobic protection helps water, dirt, bugs, and grime release from the surface more easily during maintenance washes.
Long-Term Protection
A ceramic coating helps defend against UV rays, road salt, bird droppings, water spotting, and daily contamination.

Our Process
Proper prep is what makes coating perform.
1
Prep
The vehicle is washed, decontaminated, and inspected so the surface is ready for correction and coating.
2
Correct
A minimum 1-step paint correction improves gloss and removes light defects before the coating is installed.
3
Protect
The ceramic coating is installed, leveled, and inspected to create a durable, glossy, hydrophobic finish.
Ceramic Coating FAQ
Common questions before booking.
What does ceramic coating do?
Ceramic coating adds long-term protection, gloss, water beading, and easier maintenance for your vehicle’s exterior surfaces.
Do I need paint correction first?
Yes. We include at least a 1-step paint correction because coating over uncorrected paint can lock in swirls and defects.
Is ceramic coating scratch-proof?
No coating is scratch-proof, but ceramic coating helps protect against daily contamination and makes washing safer and easier.
What is New Car Shield?
New Car Shield is a more complete protection package for newer vehicles, including paint coating, wheel coating, window coating, and prep-focused interior cleaning.
