FAQ

We'd love to say everyone needs a ceramic coating, but that simply isn't true. What we will say is that a professional ceramic coating is one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle's appearance and long-term value. It eliminates the need for constant waxing, makes maintenance dramatically easier, and keeps your paint protected for years — not weeks.

We personally will never own a vehicle that isn't coated. If it fits within your budget, it's absolutely worth it.

Waxes and sealants are great products, but they sit on top of the paint and typically last only 1–2 months — regardless of what the bottle claims. A professional ceramic coating chemically bonds with your paint at a molecular level, creating a semi-permanent layer of protection that lasts for years.

The coatings we use are professional-grade products that are not available at retail stores. They deliver a level of gloss, hydrophobic performance, and durability that wax simply cannot match.

Prevent scratches? No — and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being honest. What a ceramic coating does is significantly reduce the likelihood of minor scratches and swirl marks by adding a hard, sacrificial layer on top of your paint. It raises the threshold of what it takes to damage your finish, but it doesn't make your vehicle bulletproof.

Think of it as serious protection, not invincibility.

All of our ceramic coating packages include a 7-year ceramic coating backed by a 7-year limited warranty. The warranty covers the performance of the coating when properly maintained.

For full warranty details and maintenance requirements, feel free to reach out to us — we're happy to walk you through everything.

Every vehicle can benefit from a ceramic coating, regardless of age. Since we perform a minimum of one stage of paint correction before any coating application, we ensure the paint is in the best possible condition and that there's a strong bond between the coating and the surface.

Whether your vehicle is fresh off the lot or has a few years on it, we'll make it look exceptional.

Not a problem at all. Paint protection film can be ceramic coated with no issues — in fact, coating over PPF adds an extra layer of hydrophobic performance and makes the film easier to maintain.

If you'd prefer to have the PPF removed prior to coating, we can accommodate that as well, though additional charges will apply for removal.

Within reason, absolutely. The reality is that your vehicle only has a finite amount of clear coat, and it would be counterproductive to chase a very deep scratch only to thin out the surrounding area.

That said, our one-step and multi-stage correction options achieve incredible results on all paint types — in most cases removing 50–90% of visible defects and dramatically improving the overall appearance.

Here's a quick test: run your fingernail across the scratch. If you can feel it catch — even slightly — it's likely too deep to remove completely without risking damage to your clear coat.

These deeper scratches can still be improved and made far less noticeable, but full removal isn't always possible or advisable.

A ceramic coating is typically a 2–3 day process, though the exact timeline depends on the size and condition of your vehicle. This includes thorough decontamination, paint correction, coating application, and curing time.

We don't rush the process — your vehicle stays with us until every step meets our standard.

Ideally, bring your vehicle in relatively clean so we can properly assess the paint condition while you're here. This is completely optional — we handle a full decontamination wash regardless — but a clean surface helps us give you the most accurate assessment upfront.

Other than that, just remove any personal items and you're good to go.

At this time, we primarily operate out of our shop in Foley, where we have the controlled environment needed for ceramic coating applications. For maintenance detailing on coated vehicles, we may be able to come to you for a small trip fee.

Contact us to discuss your situation — we're always happy to work something out.

Maintaining a coated vehicle is much easier than maintaining an uncoated one — that's one of the biggest benefits. We recommend hand washing with a pH-neutral car shampoo, avoiding automatic car washes, and using coating-safe maintenance products.

Absolutely. We offer financing through Affirm and Afterpay, allowing you to break your purchase into smaller, more manageable payments. These options make it easy to get the protection your vehicle deserves without the full upfront cost.
