2-year ceramic coating · Decatur + Atlanta
Correct it first.
Protect it next.
A coating is only as good as the finish underneath it. We prepare and correct the paint first, then apply durable protection over the finished surface.

The important part
The coating is step three.
The gloss does not come from pouring ceramic onto imperfect paint. Most of the finished look is created during preparation and correction.
Correct
Refine the paint before protection so swirls and haze are not locked underneath.
Coat
Apply the professional coating to the prepared clear coat and allow it to cure properly.
Why ceramic
Keep a corrected finish easier to care for.
The coating adds a durable, slick layer over the clear coat. Water and contamination release more easily, while the gloss created underneath stays protected.
Know what you are buying
Protection, without the myths.
Ceramic is excellent at the job it is designed to do. It is not armor, and we do not sell it like it is.
What it does
Bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, not weeks like wax
Adds protection against UV, oxidation and environmental fallout
Makes paint slick and hydrophobic, so water beads and dirt releases more easily
Keeps the gloss from the correction underneath it
What it does not do
It does not make paint scratch-proof. Improper washing can still mar a coated car.
It does not stop rock chips or door dings. That's paint protection film.
It does not replace washing. It makes washing faster and easier.
It does not fix defects. Whatever is under the coating gets locked in, which is why we correct first.

After coating
Easier to maintain.
Not maintenance-free.
A coated car still needs proper washing. Use pH-neutral soap and clean microfiber, and avoid automatic brush washes that can mar any clear coat.
Your 2-year coating includes a free follow-up detail. After that, our Maintenance Detail or Detail+ can keep the finish cared for.

Before you book
Ceramic coating questions.
Enhancement polish or full correction — which one do I need?
An enhancement polish suits newer paint or paint that has lost its gloss. Full correction is for visible swirls, scratches and neglected paint. If you're not sure, request a quote. We'll look at the paint in person and match the process to the car.
Why is paint correction included with ceramic coating?
A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, swirls included. Correcting first means the coating bonds to clean, refined paint and the gloss you see is the gloss you keep.
Is a ceramic coating the same as wax?
No. Wax sits on top of the paint and wears off in weeks. A ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and lasts years when it's maintained properly.
Will a ceramic coating stop scratches and rock chips?
No. It adds some resistance to light marring, but it does not make paint scratch-proof and it won't stop rock chips. For chip protection you'd want paint protection film.
What's the free follow-up detail?
Every 2-year ceramic coating includes a complimentary follow-up detail after installation. We come back, clean the car the right way for a coated finish, and check how the coating is holding up.
How do I take care of a coated car?
Keep washing it, just gently: a pH-neutral soap, clean mitts and soft drying towels, and no automatic brush washes. Regular maintenance details, or a Detail+ plan, keep a coating performing.
