Professional Ceramic Coating Installers in Gilbert

Protect your car from the crazy Gilbert weather

What is a Ceramic Coating?

A Ceramic Coating is a form of protection that bonds to the different surfaces of your vehicle. Coatings can be applied to Paint, Glass, Wheels, and  black plastic trim.

Ceramic Coatings have been around in the detailing world the last 10+ years.

Unlike wax, Ceramic Coatings offer a much stronger and longer form of protection that can last a few YEARS vs wax only lasting a few months.

You can think of a Ceramic Coating as the sacrificial layer of your vehicle protecting it from all the elements.

Ceramic Coating Myths

Ceramic Coatings will not prevent your vehicle from getting rock chips or fix preexisting rock chips. The only way to prevent rock chips is to get PPF (paint protection film) applied to the front-end of your vehicle. 

 Your new coating will not make your vehicle scratch proof. Although Ceramic Coatings are scratch resistant, your paint can still get scratched if not careful. We recommend avoiding the drive through car wash and joining our maintenance program

Ceramic Coatings do offer “self cleaning properties” but to ensure your coating lasts its full lifespan, it will need to be properly cleaned and maintained. Luckily, we offer a Maintenance program! By joining our maintenance program we can guarantee your coating to last its full lifetime.

What’s the difference between the 3 and 5 year coating? The only difference is the price and how many layers of coating the paint will receive. The more layers, the longer it will last. All of the Prep work and paint correction process is the exact same. 

The ceramic coating process can take between 5 – 10 hours to complete and then the coating will need to cure/harden for the next 12 hours.

 Ceramic Coating FAQs

How long does this service take? It typically takes us about 6-8 hours depending on how big your vehicle is. Then after the coating is applied it will need to cure for about 12 hours.

Can a ceramic coating replace my clear coat? Paint that is fading or peeling will not be able to get ceramic coated. Ceramic coatings need a smooth shiny surface to bond to. The only fix for clear coat failure is a repaint.
