Ceramic Coating (no paint correction), in short

A ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to your clear coat and hardens into a slick, protective shell. It makes water bead off, keeps dirt and salt from sticking and adds gloss. Ours is rated for 5+ years and starts at $649 in Toronto and the GTA, with a full exterior detail included as the prep.

Ceramic coating (no paint correction)

A ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to your car's clear coat and hardens into a slick, glossy shell. It is much more durable than a wax or sealant: water beads and rolls off, dirt has a harder time sticking, and the car is easier to wash between details.

A coating locks in whatever paint is underneath it, so this package is for paint that is already in good condition, like a new car or one that has been washed carefully. We start with our full Premium Exterior detail to clean and decontaminate the paint, then apply the coating. If your paint has swirl marks or scratches you want removed first, choose paint correction + ceramic coating.

Coated vs uncoated paint

On bare clear coat, water spreads out and dirt dries onto the paint. A coating gives the surface a slick, water-repelling layer.

Benefits of ceramic coating

Water beads and rolls off

Rain and wash water bead up and run off instead of sitting on the paint, taking loose dirt with them.

Easier, faster washing

Dirt, salt and bugs have a harder time sticking, so a regular hand wash gets the car clean with less scrubbing.

UV and oxidation protection

The coating takes the hit from sunlight, which helps stop paint from fading and oxidizing over the years.

Built for Toronto winters

Road salt, slush and brine are easier to rinse away before they sit on the paint all season.

Deeper gloss

A coated finish looks wetter and richer, and it keeps that look much longer than wax.

Protects resale value

Paint that still looks new helps when you sell or trade the car in.

Good to know before you book

A coating is not scratch-proof. It resists light marring, but rock chips, keys and deep scratches still need other fixes.

You still need to wash the car. It just takes less effort and stays clean for longer.

It seals in whatever is underneath, so swirls and scratches should be corrected first if you want them gone.

The coating needs time to cure after it goes on. We will tell you how long to wait before the first wash.

Questions, answered

How long does ceramic coating last?

Our coating is rated for 5+ years of protection with proper care.

Should I get paint correction before ceramic coating?

If your paint has swirl marks, haze or light scratches, yes: the coating seals in whatever is underneath. For new or well-kept paint, this package (without correction) is usually enough.

Is ceramic coating worth it in Toronto?

Winter salt, slush and summer sun are hard on paint. A coating makes the car easier to clean and protects the clear coat from UV and contaminants, which helps keep it looking new.

How long does it take?

Plan for about 5 hours, including the exterior detail beforehand.

Does a coating mean I never need to wash my car?

No. A coated car still needs regular washing, but dirt comes off more easily and the finish stays glossy for longer.
