Ceramic Coating Explained

What Is Ceramic Coating?

A ceramic coating is a liquid protective layer that's applied by hand to your vehicle's paint and bonds to the surface as it cures. It's harder and longer-lasting than wax or a spray sealant.

Once it's on, water beads and sheets off, dirt has a harder time sticking, and the paint keeps a deeper, glossier look. Because the coating is only as good as the paint underneath it, every package starts with a full wash, chemical and clay decontamination, and paint preparation.

How much does ceramic coating cost?

At Detail Guyz, ceramic coating starts at $395 for a 1-year coating, $495 for a 3-year coating, and $695 for a 5-year coating on sedans and coupes. SUVs and crossovers are +$100, and 3-row SUVs and trucks are +$150–$200. Every package includes a hand wash, chemical and clay decontamination, and paint preparation.

Why Coat Your Car

Benefits of Ceramic Coating

Easier Washing

Dirt, dust and grime release more easily from coated paint, so regular washes take less effort.

Deeper Gloss

A coating adds clarity and shine on top of properly prepped paint.

Water Beading

Water beads and runs off instead of sitting on the paint, which helps with spotting.

Sun & Contaminant Protection

A coating adds a protective layer against UV exposure, bird droppings, sap and road film, which matters in Central Valley summers.

Long-Term Protection

Choose protection rated for up to 1, 3 or 5 years instead of re-waxing every few weeks.

Applied at Your Location

We prep and coat the vehicle at your home or work, so there's no shop drop-off.

Comparison

Ceramic Coating vs. Wax & Sealant

Wax

Adds warmth and shine with short-lived protection. Our Exterior Wax add-on is $40 and is a good choice for regular maintenance.

Paint sealant

Synthetic protection that lasts longer than wax. Our Platinum Full Detail includes a paint sealant rated up to 2 months, and a 6-month paint protective coating is available too.

Ceramic coating

The longest-lasting option, rated for up to 1, 3 or 5 years depending on the package, with the most noticeable water beading and ease of washing.

The Process

How We Apply It

  • Exterior hand wash to remove loose dirt
  • Chemical decontamination to dissolve iron and embedded grime
  • Clay decontamination to remove bonded contaminants
  • Paint preparation so the coating bonds properly
  • Optional Paint Enhancement or 1-Step Correction
  • Ceramic coating applied by hand
  • Final inspection

We offer coatings rated for up to 1, 3 or 5 years. How long a coating actually lasts depends on how the vehicle is used, where it's parked, and how it's maintained.
If you want paint that's easier to wash, stays glossier and is better protected from sun, bird droppings and road grime than wax alone, it usually is. It's especially worth it on a newer car or right after paint correction. It isn't a substitute for regular washing, and it won't stop rock chips or deep scratches.
Not always, but a coating locks in whatever is underneath. If the paint has swirl marks or looks dull, adding Paint Enhancement or 1-Step Paint Correction before coating gives a much better finish.
Hand wash it regularly with a gentle car soap and avoid automatic brush washes, which can cause swirl marks. We'll go over care instructions for your specific coating when we finish.
