There are a lot of coating companies that make some pretty big claims of what it can do. Although there’s some truth to the claims, I don’t like to oversell the capabilities of it. 

​

So here are some benefits you actually get with a coating:

​

• Produces the most durable protection that lasts between 3 to 7years 

• You only need to apply it once (and not every 3 months like other forms of protection)

• Creates a deep level of gloss that’s incomparable to other forms of protection like wax or sealant 

• Provides unmatched hydrophobic properties that keeps your car cleaner and makes it easier to wash

Before the coating is installed, your vehicle must first be properly prepped and corrected with one of our paint correction services. If you apply the coating without the proper prep work, you’re not able to get all the benefits from the coating.

​

That’s the difference of a professional ceramic coating installer. Additionally, if it’s not properly installed, you won’t get the actual benefits and you’ll see a ton of smudges across your vehicle.

​

This is what we consider “high spots”. You’ll see this when the coating was not properly applied and it was left to dry for too long without wiping off.

​

As a general rule of thumb, the more durable the coating, for instance, a 1 year versus a 7 year coating, the harder it is to install. You have to understand the weather variables as that can play a major factor in the installation process. 

​

Different coatings react different to when it’s humid, cold, or hot. And if you’ve been in California for longer then three days, you’ll know the temperature is always changing. That’s why we do our coating installations at our shop location, so we can control most of the working conditions.
