The most important part of the ceramic coating process is the preparation and installation of the coating. Unless you’re racing your Lambo through Dubai during a sandstorm in 125-degree heat, you don’t need a $4,000 ceramic coating.

Our certified and experienced staff prepares your car’s surface with a full paint correction including and iron bath and clay bar treatment to remove all imperfections from your car’s paint surface and to level out your clear coat. We then install your ceramic coating in our industrial-grade, climate-controlled shop to ensure there are no contaminants on your car’s surface, and the coating has an appropriate time to cure. Proper surface preparation and a professional installation are the most important parts of any ceramic coating and are the foundation of all of our ceramic installations.
