Ceramic Coating — protect the paint you paid for.
What it is
A warranty-backed System X ceramic coating that bonds to your paint for lasting gloss and easier upkeep.
Who it's for
Owners protecting a vehicle they'll keep — and who want washing to be easier.
Ballpark
From $1,000 (5-year) or $1,500 (lifetime).
Ceramic coating is a durable protective layer that bonds to your vehicle's clear coat. It locks in gloss, makes washing easier because dirt and water release more readily, and adds a warranty-backed, CarFax-reportable layer of protection — an investment in keeping the paint you already have looking its best for years.

- Locks in a deep, durable gloss
- Makes washing easier — dirt and water sheet off
- Adds a warranty-backed protective layer (System X)
- CarFax-reportable record of the coating
What it isn't
- Not scratch-proof or swirl-proof
- Not maintenance-free — it still needs regular washing
- Not a substitute for paint correction — for the best base, correct first
Coating options
Final price depends on the vehicle and the paint's condition — we confirm it once we've seen the paint.
Start with the right base
A coating preserves the paint's condition at the moment it's applied — so the finish underneath matters. If your paint has swirls, scratches, or oxidation, we recommend correcting it first. See Paint Correction →
Warranty
We install warranty-backed System X ceramic coating, and the coating is CarFax-reportable. Full warranty terms and care instructions are provided in writing at the time of service.

Ceramic coating FAQ
How much does ceramic coating cost?
Our 5-year coating starts at $1,000 and the lifetime coating at $1,500. The final price depends on the vehicle and the paint's condition, which we confirm after assessing it.
How long does ceramic coating last?
We offer two options — a 5-year coating and a lifetime coating. Which is right depends on how long you'll keep the vehicle and how it's used.
What's the difference between ceramic coating and wax?
Wax sits on top of the paint and wears off in weeks to months. Ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, so it's far more durable and makes upkeep easier — long-term protection rather than a periodic top-up.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
If you're keeping the vehicle, yes — it protects the paint you already paid for, holds a deep gloss, and makes washing easier because dirt and water release more readily. It's warranty-backed and CarFax-reportable, so it also adds a documented record to the vehicle's history.
Does my car need paint correction first?
For the best result, usually yes. A coating locks in the paint's current condition, so swirls or scratches should be corrected first. We'll assess your paint and tell you what it needs.
Can I still wash it normally?
Yes — and washing gets easier. Ceramic coating isn't maintenance-free, but dirt and water release much more readily, so routine washing keeps it looking its best.
Is the coating reported to CarFax?
Yes — our System X ceramic coating is CarFax-reportable, which adds a documented record to your vehicle's history.
