Protect your car’s paint with a durable, long-lasting coating
Protect Your Paint For Years, Not Months
A ceramic coating is one of the best ways to maintain your vehicle’s shine while doing your routine washes easier than ever. This advanced coating creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and road grime, meaning your car stays cleaner for longer. When it’s time for a wash, a simple rinse and hand wash are often enough to restore a like-new appearance.
Unlike traditional wax or sealants, which wear off in a matter of months, a ceramic coating provides lasting protection for years. That’s why so many Denver drivers opt for this advanced solution—it not only helps preserve the integrity of your vehicle’s paint but also enhances its gloss and depth. Whether your car is a daily commuter or a weekend ride, a ceramic coating ensures it stays in top condition despite Denver’s unpredictable weather. We apply a ceramic coating after your paint has been properly corrected and polished to give the paint a swirl-free finish.
The Top Four Benefits of Ceramic Coating
For years, wax and sealants were the go-to options for protecting your car’s paint. But with the introduction of ceramic coatings, vehicle owners now have a superior, longer-lasting alternative that offers multiple benefits:
1. Long-Lasting Protection: Ceramic coatings form a durable shield against environmental contaminants like UV rays, road grime, and harsh weather conditions. This is particularly useful in Denver, where snow, road salts, and strong sun exposure can degrade your paint over time.
2. Hydrophobic Properties: The hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings means water beads up and rolls right off, reducing the chances of dirt, mud, and other debris sticking to your paint. This makes routine washing much easier and helps prevent surface scratches caused by stubborn grime that sits on your paint.
3. Enhanced Gloss and Shine: By filling in microscopic pores in your car’s paint, ceramic coatings enhance the depth and reflectivity of your vehicle’s finish. This means your car will have that showroom-like shine without the constant need for waxing or polishing.
4. Multi-Surface Application: Ceramic coatings aren’t just for paint—they can also be applied to glass, wheels, plastics, and even interior surfaces like leather and fabric. We also apply a ceramic coating to your headlights after we restore them. Different types of coatings offer specialized protection for each surface, ensuring maximum longevity.
If you want your vehicle’s appearance for years to come, while making it easier to clean and wash it, then getting a ceramic coating is the perfect solution.

The Process of Applying a Ceramic Coating
Applying a ceramic coating is a precise, multi-step process that requires expertise and patience. Unlike waxes or sealants, which can be applied quickly, ceramic coatings demand careful attention to detail to ensure a flawless finish. Here’s what the process looks like:
Thorough Cleaning and Paint Preparation: Before applying the coating, the car must be completely clean and free of contaminants. We start by cleaning the wheels and tires, followed by a detailed hand wash of the paint. A clay bar and iron decontamination treatment are then performed to remove embedded particles that could affect adhesion and bonding of the coating.
Paint Correction (If Needed): Because ceramic coatings lock in the condition of your paint, any existing imperfections like swirls, scratches, or oxidation need to be corrected beforehand. We perform a machine polish to refine the surface, ensuring a smooth and defect-free finish. This level of polishing will change based on the condition of your vehicle. To newer vehicles in already great condition, a light polish might be all that’s needed to reach the desired finish.
Precise Application of the Coating: Using an applicator pad, we apply the ceramic coating in small sections, allowing it to bond properly. Once it begins to "flash" (or set), we level it using microfiber towels to ensure an even application. This step requires skill and attention to detail to avoid high spots, which can create visible streaks if not addressed and that leads towards its own set of problems and hassles.
Curing Period: The coating takes 24 to 48 hours to fully cure and harden. During this time, it forms a protective, durable layer that shields your vehicle’s paint from the elements. Once cured, your car is ready to handle Denver’s varying conditions, from harsh sun exposure to snowy roads.

Common Myths About Ceramic Coatings
While ceramic coatings offer many benefits, there are some common misconceptions about what they can and can’t do:
Myth #1: Ceramic coatings make your paint scratch-proof: While ceramic coatings add a layer of protection, they aren’t invincible or to the level of paint protection film (PPF). They help resist light scratches, but they won’t stop rock chips or deep scratches caused by rough contact.
Myth #2: Ceramic coatings protect against rock chips: Ceramic coatings are excellent for repelling dirt and grime, but they don’t provide physical protection from road debris. If you’re looking for impact resistance, paint protection film (PPF) is the best option.
Myth: You never have to wash your car again: Ceramic coatings make washing easier, but regular maintenance is still necessary. A monthly hand wash with a pH-balanced shampoo helps maintain the coating’s integrity and ensures your vehicle continues to look its best. If you simply run it through a tunnel wash where there’s harsh chemicals and aggressive brushes, you’ll easily swirl up the paint again.

Ceramic Coating FAQs
How long does a ceramic coating last?
With proper care, a ceramic coating can last anywhere from two to five years. Regular washing and avoiding harsh car washes help maintain its longevity.
Does a ceramic coating fix chipped paint?
No, a ceramic coating does not repair chips or scratches. If your vehicle has paint damage, a paint shop would have to fix that issue.
Is a ceramic coating better than wax or sealant?
Ceramic coatings offer significantly longer protection and better performance compared to wax or sealants. While wax needs to be reapplied frequently, ceramic coatings provide years of protection with proper care. That being said, it all depends on what you want to get done. A coating is great, but if it makes more sense to get a sealant applied, that works too!
