Why people coat their cars here

Sun, heat, dust and hard water wear paint down fast in the Valley. A coating takes the hit so your paint doesn't.

Deep gloss that lasts

The coating bonds to your paint and keeps that just-polished look for years, not weeks.

Easier, faster washes

Water beads and sheets off, and dirt has a harder time sticking, so washes go quicker.

Built for the Arizona sun

Adds a layer of protection against UV fading and oxidation from the heat.

Fights everyday damage

Resists bird droppings, bug splatter and hard water spots better than wax or sealant.

Why we always correct the paint first

A coating locks in whatever is under it. If swirls are there, they get sealed in for years.

That's why every coating starts with paint correction. We take out the swirls and haze first, so what gets locked in is the best your paint can look.

What's included

Every ceramic coating includes

A coating is only as good as the prep under it, so most of the work happens before the coating goes on.

Ceramic coating vs. wax

Wax or sealant

Weeks to a few months

  • Fades fast in the sun, heat and car washes
  • Needs to be reapplied often
  • Some shine and water beading while it lasts

Ceramic coating

Years, not months

  • Stronger gloss that lasts
  • Water beads and rolls off
  • Dirt and bugs wash off easier
  • Better resistance to UV, bird droppings and water spots

Honest limits: a coating is not scratch-proof or rock-chip-proof, and the car still needs regular washes. We'll show you how to care for it.

The work behind it

Correction first, then the coating, applied by hand.

Common questions

How much does ceramic coating cost?

$899 gets you a 5-year ceramic coating with a one-step paint correction. Paint that needs more correction costs more. The exact price depends on your vehicle's size and paint condition.

How long does it last?

Our starting package uses a 5-year coating, with proper care. How long it really lasts depends on how you wash and store the car. Longer-rated options are available. Ask us on the call.

Why is paint correction included?

A coating locks in whatever is under it, so we always correct the paint first. That's what makes it look this good for years.

Is it scratch-proof?

No. It adds protection and makes the paint easier to clean, but it is not scratch-proof or rock-chip-proof.

How long does it take?

Longer than a regular detail, because the paint gets corrected before the coating goes on. We’ll give you a time when we quote, based on your vehicle and your paint.

How do I wash it afterward?

Use a gentle, pH-neutral soap and skip automatic brush washes. We’ll walk you through a simple routine when we’re done.

Is it worth it in Arizona?

For most people, yes. Our sun, heat, dust and hard water are tough on paint, and a coating holds up much longer than wax.
