Ceramic Coating

Long-lasting gloss and paint protection that repels water, dirt and contaminants.

Ceramic Coating

How we do this

Customers in North Tampa told us they were tired of constantly waxing or fighting water spots. Ceramic coating is the upgrade that actually lasts in Florida.

We give the paint a professional-grade shield that repels dirt, water and contaminants. Washing gets easier, and the finish looks deeper and glossier than wax ever could.

Preparation is the whole job. We start with a decontamination hand wash and clay bar to pull off road tar, brake dust and overspray a normal wash leaves behind. Then we polish so swirl marks and haze are gone before anything is sealed.

The coating itself is applied panel by panel after a panel wipe. It locks in shine, blocks UV, and is built for Tampa sun and rain — typically 1, 3 or 5 years depending on the product we confirm with you.

  1. Decontamination wash and clay bar before any coating
  2. Paint polishing so imperfections are not sealed in
  3. 1, 3 or 5 year ceramic options quoted to the vehicle

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from wax?

Wax sits on top of the paint and usually lasts 1–2 months here. Ceramic coating bonds to the paint and lasts years with simple washing.

Do I need polishing first?

Almost always. Whatever is on the paint gets locked under the coating, so we correct swirls and haze first.
