What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid that cures into a thin, hard, transparent layer bonded to your vehicle’s surfaces. It adds deep gloss and makes the finish hydrophobic, so water, dirt, and grime slide off instead of sticking.
It lasts years, not weeks like wax. Ceramic coating does not stop rock chips. For impact protection, consider paint protection film.

Our coating process
01
Consult and inspect
We look over the paint with you and confirm which surfaces to coat.
02
Decontaminate
Full wash, iron removal, and clay bar so the coating bonds to clean paint. Paint correction is available for an additional charge if needed.
03
Apply and cure
Coating is applied panel by panel, leveled by hand, and left to cure indoors.
04
Final check
We inspect the finish under lights, then walk you through curing time and aftercare.
Ceramic coating FAQs
Does ceramic coating protect against rock chips?
No. Ceramic coating protects against UV, chemicals, and everyday grime, but it is too thin to stop rock chips. For chip protection, use paint protection film.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Professional coatings typically last 2 to 5 years or more, depending on the product and how the car is washed and stored. We’ll go over the expected life of your coating before we start.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Los Angeles?
Price depends on vehicle size, which surfaces are coated, the coating product, and whether paint correction is needed. See our typical price ranges, or request a quote and we’ll price your exact car.
How do I wash a ceramic coated car?
Wait about a week after application before the first wash. After that, hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and skip automatic brush car washes. No wax needed.
