Ceramic Coating in
San Francisco, CA
A layer of protection for your vehicle’s paint, along with unparalleled gloss and shine.
Get Long-Lasting Protection Without Constant Maintenance
Tired of having to wax your car every few months? Ceramic coating offers a more durable solution. Depending on the package, you get 2-5 years of protection. That means less time spent waxing and more time enjoying your car’s shine.
Traditional wax might give you temporary protection, but it wears off quickly. Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent bond to your paint, acting as a sacrificial layer against the environment. It’s stronger than wax or sealant, with benefits you can actually feel.
DURABLE
Our ceramic coating packages will protect your vehicle from 2-5 years depending on the package you choose. This means you save money by not having to get your vehicle waxed every 2-3 months.
GLOSSY
There are so many benefits to having a vehicle ceramic coated. One of those benefits is the amount of gloss and slickness a coated vehicle has. It adds a beautiful mirror like effect to the paint, outshining any wax or sealant.
Ceramic What?
Long-Lasting Protection Without Constant Upkeep
You’re probably familiar with waxing your car and the benefits it brings to your car’s appearance—but more importantly, the protection it offers to your paint. Wax can help, but it doesn’t last long, and reapplying it every few months gets old fast.
Ceramic coating changes that. Offering 2-5 years of protection, ceramic coating gives you more time on the road and less time worrying about re-waxing your car. It forms a semi-permanent layer that shields your vehicle from the elements.
Why Ceramic Coat?
Carnauba wax and sealants used to be the go-to for protecting your paint. They work, but they wear off quickly, and keeping up with reapplications can be a hassle. For those who want longer-lasting protection, ceramic coating steps in. It bonds to your paint to create a durable, protective layer.
Here’s what ceramic coating brings to the table:
- Durable Protection: Keeps your paint protected for up to 3 years, depending on the package you choose.
- Next-Level Gloss: Adds a deep, reflective shine that goes beyond what waxes or sealants can offer.
- Hydrophobic Benefits: Water and dirt roll right off, making your car easier to clean and less prone to stains.
- Less Maintenance: No need for constant waxing or sealing—ceramic does the heavy lifting.
Ceramic Coating Myths
Ceramic coatings have become a buzzword in recent years, leading to many misconceptions. It’s important to be fully informed about what ceramic coating is—and what it’s not. You should know exactly what you’re getting and what it can realistically do for your vehicle.
Here’s what ceramic coating won’t do:
- It Won’t Prevent Scratches: Ceramic coating won’t stop scratches from debris or improper washing techniques. Using the wrong products, like dish soap or kitchen sponges, will still damage the paint.
- It Won’t Cover Existing Damage: Ceramic coating protects what’s already there, so any scratches or defects need to be corrected before applying the coating.
- It Won’t Make Your Car Indestructible: While ceramic coating offers solid protection against environmental contaminants, it’s not a shield against rock chips, deep scratches, or careless maintenance.
- It Won’t Eliminate the Need for Maintenance: Ceramic coating makes cleaning easier, but proper washing and care are still necessary to maintain your car’s finish.
The goal here is to understand what ceramic coating can truly offer—durable protection and an unmatched gloss—without getting caught up in the hype or unrealistic promises that make it sound like a miracle solution.
Ceramic Coating Process
Applying ceramic coating requires precision and proper preparation. Before applying the coating, the paint must be polished to ensure a smooth surface for the coating to bond properly.
Once the paint is prepped, the ceramic coating application begins:
- Panel-by-Panel Application: The ceramic coating is applied with a microfiber pad, ensuring even coverage across each section of the car.
- Curing: The ceramic bonds to the paint, creating a protective layer while the carrier liquid evaporates.
- Final Wipe: Any remaining liquid is wiped off to prevent streaks or imperfections.
It’s important to note: that ceramic coatings can only be applied after a Paint Polishing service. The polishing process is crucial because it removes any surface imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and embedded contaminants that could prevent the ceramic coating from bonding properly. Without this step, the coating would seal in those imperfections, reducing its overall effectiveness and the quality of the finish. By polishing the paint first, the surface becomes smooth and clean, allowing the ceramic coating to form a strong, durable bond.

Ceramic Coating FAQ
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your car’s paint, creating a protective layer that lasts for 3 years. It offers a deep gloss and protects your paint from environmental damage like UV rays, bird droppings, and water spots.
Can I just get a ceramic coating?
Ceramic coatings can only be applied after a paint polishing service. You’d be surprised how contaminated paint really is. For a ceramic coating to properly bond to your car’s paint, a full decontamination wash and machine polishing are required to get down to the bare paint. This ensures the coating can truly bond, giving you the best results and long-lasting protection. Skipping this step would seal in imperfections and reduce the coating’s effectiveness.
Why only offer a 3-year coating?
While many coatings claim to last 5-9 years, the reality is they’re harder to install and tend to degrade well before their time. A 3-year coating offers the perfect balance of durability and simplicity for both the installer and the customer.
Does ceramic coating protect against scratches?
Ceramic coating adds a layer of protection, but it doesn’t make your paint scratch-proof. Proper washing and maintenance are still needed to avoid damage.
Do I still need to maintain my car after applying ceramic coating?
Yes. While ceramic coating makes maintenance easier, it’s essential to use proper washing techniques to keep your car looking its best.
