Ceramic Coating Pricing
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied by hand that chemically bonds with your vehicle's paint, forming a hard, glossy layer of protection that far outlasts traditional wax or sealant.
-
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Advanced machine polishing removes swirl marks, light scratches, and imperfections to restore a deep, mirror-like finish before the coating is applied.
-
Superior Hydrophobic Protection
Water, dirt, and contaminants slide off effortlessly — making washing faster and keeping your vehicle cleaner longer.
-
Complete Surface Coverage
Coating applied to paint, wheels, trim, and exposed surfaces for full-vehicle protection and a uniform finish.
Final price depends on the level of paint correction required — an in-person inspection is required for an accurate quote.
Regular includes a 4-year warranty; the 8-year warranty option is our Premium tier.
Please allow a 2–3 day minimum turnaround.
Marine Ceramic Coating
Marine ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied by hand that chemically bonds with your boat's gelcoat, forming a hard, glossy layer of protection that resists UV oxidation, salt, and water spotting far longer than traditional marine wax or sealant.
-
Gelcoat Correction & Oxidation Removal
Machine compounding and polishing cut through chalky oxidation, water spotting, and light scratches to restore a deep, wet-look shine before the coating is applied.
-
Superior Hydrophobic Protection
Water, salt, and grime sheet off the hull effortlessly — slowing scum-line buildup and making wash-downs at the dock far quicker.
-
Full Hull & Topside Coverage
Coating applied to the hull, topsides, hardtop, and exposed metal for uniform gloss and protection above the waterline.
Final price depends on boat length and the level of gelcoat correction required — an in-person inspection is required for an accurate quote.

Please allow a 2–3 day minimum turnaround.
Why Ceramic Coating Is Worth It
Hydrophobic Water Repellency
Water beads up and rolls off the surface, carrying dirt and grime away and helping keep the vehicle cleaner between washes.
Enhanced Gloss & Shine
The coating enhances the depth and clarity of your paint, giving the vehicle a deep, glossy showroom finish.
UV Protection
Ceramic coatings protect your vehicle’s paint from harmful UV rays that cause fading, oxidation, and dull paint over time.
Long-Lasting Paint Protection
Ceramic coating forms a durable protective layer that shields your vehicle from UV rays, oxidation, and minor contaminants.
Understanding Your Quote
What goes into your ceramic price
Ceramic pricing isn’t one number because no two cars arrive in the same shape. Four things move it.
-
Paint condition & correction
The biggest variable. A new car may need only a light polish; a daily driver with swirls and etching needs one- or two-stage correction before the coating goes on.
Light polish → two-stage correction -
Vehicle size
A compact car has far less panel area than a lifted truck, a three-row SUV, or a boat hull. More surface means more coating and more time.
Compact car → truck, SUV or boat -
Coating tier & duration
Entry coatings last a few years. Multi-layer professional coatings last far longer and carry a stronger warranty.
Multi-year → long-term multi-layer -
Add-on surfaces
Glass, wheels and calipers, exterior trim, and interior leather or fabric can all be coated alongside the paint.
Paint only → glass, wheels, trim & interior
Why a cheaper quote usually isn’t the same job
-
Paint corrected first — gloss locked in, not swirls sealed under the coating -
Applied by hand in controlled lighting, panel by panel -
Real cure time before it leaves the shop -
Written warranty with a maintenance plan — not a vague “lasts 5 years”
