Is ceramic coating even worth it?

For a car that is washed at home or touchless, parked outside at least some of the time, and kept more than a year: yes. It replaces years of waxing, stops the sun and the love bugs from etching, and makes every wash a rinse. For a car that goes through brush washes weekly, no product is worth it.

What you are paying for

Not gloss. Time and paint. A coating means no wax every six weeks, no water spots from the sprinklers, no etching from love-bug season, no oxidation on a car that lives outside. Washing takes fifteen minutes because dirt does not stick. Over the years you keep the car, that is dozens of hours and a paint job that still looks new.

Worth it

Not worth it

The way to make it worth more

Pair it with film on the front. A Full Front PPF install from $1,799 includes a $549 Ceramic Pro coating at no charge, so the impact zones get film and the whole car gets the coating in one visit.

Packages

From $499. Sport for a season; Bronze 2-year and Silver 5-year for a daily driver; Gold, ION 7-year and Ultimate ION lifetime for a keeper. All applied to corrected paint in our bay, all with a written Ceramic Pro warranty.

Related questions, answered.

Can you pressure wash a ceramic coated car?
Yes. A pressure washer is one of the best tools for a coated car: most dirt lifts off with water alone. Keep the nozzle a foot or more from the paint, use a fan tip, and stay off edges of any film. Foam, rinse, dry. Full answer →
Can I run my ceramic coated car through a car wash?
Touchless, yes. Brush or cloth automatic washes, no: they abrade the coating and shorten its life more than anything else you can do. If you must use an automatic, choose touchless and skip the spray wax option. Full answer →
Do ceramic coatings need maintenance?
Yes, but less than the paint did. Proper washing, contamination removed within a day, and an annual Ceramic Maintenance Detail that decontaminates, inspects and tops up the coating. The annual detail is also what keeps the Ceramic Pro warranty valid. Full answer →
Can I just rinse off my ceramic coated car?
Often, yes. On a coated car, light dust, pollen and rain residue rinse off with a hose or pressure washer. Road film, bugs and bird droppings still need soap and a soft mitt. The rinse-only wash is the everyday one; the soap wash is the weekly one. Full answer →
