Ceramic Coating
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a hydrophobic clear coat that acts as a protective shield. This durable yet flexible coating bonds to your vehicle's shape, providing up to 3 times the hardness level as a typical clear coat.
Our detailers are certified and trained to offer the very best ceramic products and techniques. By providing the best N1 & 10H technology on the market, small molecules bond to the exterior to create a strong barrier that offers water and chemical repellency. We are confident you will appreciate the difference in the finish and longevity of our ceramic coating service.

Ceramic Coating Questions Bellevue and Seattle Owners Ask
How long does a ceramic coating really last here?
Our coatings are offered in three, five and ten year durability tiers, and in the Pacific Northwest the limiting factor is usually wash habits rather than the coating itself. Cars that are hand washed and kept out of brush tunnels comfortably reach their rated life. Cars run through abrasive automatic washes lose gloss far sooner, regardless of which tier is applied.
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips and scratches?
No, and any installer who promises that is overselling. A coating is a hard, thin sacrificial layer that resists chemical etching, water spotting and light marring, but it cannot absorb impact. For physical protection against gravel on I-5 and I-405 you need paint protection film on the leading panels, with a coating layered on top for gloss and easy cleaning.
Do I need paint correction first?
Usually, yes. A coating is optically clear, so it seals in whatever the paint looks like on the day of application, including swirl marks and water spot etching. That is why we assess the finish in person and quote paint correction where it is needed. On a brand new vehicle a light decontamination and polish is often all that is required.
How do I wash a ceramic coated car?
Hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo, use two buckets, and dry with a clean microfibre or filtered air rather than letting water evaporate on the panel. Avoid brush tunnels and aggressive degreasers. Booking a periodic exterior detail and wash with us is the simplest way to keep the coating performing without risking it.
Is coating better value than wax or a paint sealant?
Over any reasonable ownership period, yes. A carnauba wax lasts weeks and a synthetic sealant a few months, so the labour cost repeats several times a year. A coating is one application measured in years, and because the surface is hydrophobic, routine washing takes less time and less water, which is the whole point of our eco pledge.
What does ceramic coating cost, and what affects the price?
Paint coatings start at $400 and rise with durability tier, vehicle size and the amount of correction the finish needs first. Glass coating runs $100 for the windshield or $400 for all glass, and interior coating starts at $200. Because paint condition has to be seen in person, we confirm the figure at inspection. Request a starting estimate through our pricing form.
Can you coat glass, wheels and interior surfaces as well as paint?
We can, and it is one of the more worthwhile add-ons in a rainy climate. Coated glass sheds water at speed and cuts down on wiper use. Coated wheels release brake dust far more easily. Coated leather and fabric resist spills, which pairs well with a full interior detail beforehand.
How long will you have my car?
Plan on multiple days. Decontamination, correction, panel wipe-down, application and curing all have to happen in sequence, and curing cannot be rushed without compromising durability. We will give you a firm collection time when you book an appointment at our Bellevue or Seattle location.
