Years of gloss and protection, applied in your driveway. 2-year coating from $599 and 5-year coating from $999, with polish prep included.
A ceramic coating is a liquid protective layer that bonds to your car's clear coat and hardens. Unlike wax, which wears off in a few months, a coating keeps working for years. Water beads and sheets off, dirt has a harder time sticking, and the paint keeps a deep, wet-looking gloss.
Around here, that matters. Spring pine pollen, summer bugs, red clay, lake spray and hard afternoon sun are all tough on paint. A coated car rinses clean faster, and the coating takes the hit instead of your clear coat.
It's not armor. A coating won't stop rock chips, deep scratches or door dings. What it does is make the car easier to keep clean and help protect the finish from everyday exposure.

A good fit for a daily driver, a leased car, or anyone trying a coating for the first time. You get real multi-year protection and much easier washes without the bigger investment.
Built for the car, truck or SUV you plan to keep. It adds protection on the wheel faces, where brake dust and road grime build up, and it lasts long enough that it usually works out cheaper per year.
A coating seals in whatever is underneath it. Our one-step polish handles light haze and boosts gloss. If your paint has heavy swirl marks from automatic car washes, adding 2-step correction first gets the finish as clean as possible before we lock it in.
A coating takes longer than a regular detail. We book one job at a time and give you a time estimate when you book.
Keep the car dry and unwashed for the first couple of days while the coating sets. After that, hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and skip automatic brush washes. A maintenance plan is the easiest way to keep it looking new, since we'll wash it the right way on a schedule.
Our 2-Year Ceramic Coating is rated for about two years and our 5-Year Ceramic Coating for about five, with proper care. Real-world life depends on how the car is washed, where it's parked, and how much sun, pollen and road grime it sees. Automatic brush car washes and harsh chemicals shorten it.
Ceramic wax, which comes in our Elite and Signature packages, lasts about six months. A coating lasts for years, makes the car much easier to wash, and helps with Carolina pollen, bugs and water spots. If you plan to keep the car, a coating usually costs less over time than waxing it twice a year.
Every coating package includes a one-step polish to clean up the finish and boost gloss first. If your paint has heavy swirls or oxidation, you can add 2-step paint correction before the coating for an extra $400. A coating locks in whatever the paint looks like underneath, so it's worth deciding before we coat.
Yes. We bring our own water and power, so we can work in your driveway or at your office. Coatings need dry weather while they're applied and while they first set, so we schedule around rain, and a garage or covered spot is helpful but not required.
Keep the car dry and don't wash it for the first couple of days while the coating sets. After that, hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and skip automatic brush washes. We'll go over the full aftercare with you when we finish. A maintenance plan is the easiest way to keep the coating performing.
Larger vehicles have more paint to prep and coat, so full-size trucks, large SUVs and vans are typically about $100 more. We confirm your exact price before we start.
