Ceramic coating is engineered surface protection. It integrates with the clear coat to preserve finish integrity over time.
It forms a durable, slick barrier on top of the clear coat. The result is a finish that stays cleaner longer, washes safer, and holds gloss with less effort — especially through harsh seasonal conditions. The chemical make-up of the hardened coating is Silica Dioxide (Liquid Glass).

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches? ⌄
It’s not a force field. It helps reduce damage from contamination and improves wash safety. For impact protection, consider PPF — separate service.

Chicago conditions don’t just dirty paint — they wear it down.
Winter road salt, gritty slush, and constant grime create a cycle of contamination that bonds to the surface. Add summer UV and daily wear, and even beautiful finishes start to look tired long before they should.

Clear answers. No noise.
Ceramic coating should feel straightforward. Here are the questions most people ask before they commit.
How long does it last?
Longevity depends on real-world care habits, but it’s designed for long-term ownership and seasonal exposure.
Is it scratch-proof?
No coating makes paint scratch-proof. What ceramic does well is reduce chemical bonding and make the surface easier to wash correctly — which helps lower the chances of wash-induced marring over time.
How do I maintain it?
Maintenance is intentionally simple: safe washing practices, quality towels, and avoiding harsh, abrasive routines. You’ll leave with clear care guidance tailored to keeping the finish looking sharp.
Is it safe for winter and road salt?
Yes — this is exactly the environment it’s built for. The coating helps protect the clear coat from chemical buildup and makes salt and grime easier to remove with proper washing.
How long is the appointment?
It’s designed as a one-day turnaround. Drop off in the morning, pick up the same day. The exact timing depends on vehicle size and condition, but the flow is built to be efficient.
Do you work on new and used vehicles?
Yes. New vehicles benefit from locking in a pristine finish early. Used vehicles benefit from preparation and refinement so the coating amplifies clarity instead of sealing in defects.
What if my paint isn’t perfect?
That’s common. Preparation and paint refinement (as needed) are part of a premium result — the goal is a finish that looks intentional and consistent before protection goes on.
Do I need to leave the car overnight?
No — this is built for a same-day pickup. Drop off in the morning, pick up the same day, with care guidance included.
