The coatings we use
Opti-Coat
A professional-installer ceramic coating. Opti-Coat says it protects against chemical etching and UV fading and makes dirt release more easily between washes.
Onyx
Onyx Coating's automotive ceramic coatings. Onyx says they resist scratches, chemicals and environmental contaminants and give a deep gloss.
These are manufacturer claims. A ceramic coating is not a physical barrier against rock chips. Ask us which coating fits your car and what warranty applies before you book.
What to expect
A ceramic coating bonds to the surface and leaves a smooth, hydrophobic layer. Water beads and runs off, and dirt has a harder time sticking, so washing is faster.
- Easier washing and a deeper, slicker finish
- Resistance to water spots and everyday grime
- Can be paired with paint protection film for chip defense
Every job is different, so we look at your paint first and tell you what it needs before you commit.
What every coating includes
Every ceramic coating includes a hand wash with a decontamination treatment, a clay bar treatment, wheel cleaning and a machine polish of the paint. Along with coating the body, we also coat the wheel faces, exterior glass and exterior plastic and rubber trim.
