Think of it like a hydrophobic jacket + glossy magic for your paint.
It doesn’t just make your car shiny — it protects it from everything the road and weather can throw at it.
Ceramic coating isn’t just about shine — it’s about protecting your investment. Your car stays cleaner, looks newer, and holds its value longer. And when people ask how you keep your car looking that good, you’ll just smile and say, “It’s coated.”
Ceramic Coatings are constantly OVER sold for what they can accomplish. Keeping it extremely focused and transparent; Ceramic Coatings can only accomplish 3 things: High gloss, easy maintenance and protection from mother nature (Bug guts, Bird droppings, UV rays, etc). If any installer or manufacturer claims “scratch resistance” or “rock chip protection” RUN. PPF is the only thing that accomplishes any notable resistance to scratching or rock chips. Ceramic coatings are for easier maintenance and long lasting gloss.
How long ceramic coatings will last will ALWAYS come down to the installer and proper maintenance. Certainly professional grade Ceramic Coatings will outlast consumer grade, but it is entirely possible for a 3 year coating installed well to outlast a 5 year coating installed poorly. ZDETAILZ recommends reading any warranty / fine print provided about the yearly rating and warranty of your ceramic coating. A coating can also last longer depending on how well you care for it and if your vehicle is garage kept etc.
Ceramic coatings may be considered “bad” because there is a higher sticker price attached to it being installed versus wax. Other than that; any percieved downfalls come from poor or misinformation from your local installer or manufacturers. Essentially them setting crazy expectations is why you feel like a ceramic coating falls short.
Ceramic coatings are good because they are a cost effective way to protect your vehicle. The upfront cost may be high, but with no reapplication needed for YEARS – you actually save over the long term. It makes cleaning up much simpler and provides you with a high gloss long term chemical resistant shield over the vehicle.
Ceramic Coating is about the BEST decision you can make for your new car or truck. Relative to the other long-term protection on the market (PPF) – it is incredibly cheap and provides protection from most ailments your vehicle may face. It allows for a 90% clean with just quick power wash. New is the BEST time to have your Ceramic Coating installed as you will seal in the near perfect condition of your paint (“showroom new”).

We have a simple pricing structure. We will give you a base price for the detail based on the size of the car. Then, it may cost more based on the condition, for example... if there's pet hair or excessive staining. There are also add-on options available as needed or desired. For example, we have a wonderful headlight restoration service. Payment options are card or cash. We can send you a link to pay online once the service is complete. It is our goal to make your experience as seamless and easy as possible.

What is Paint Enhancement?
Here’s the simple answer: Paint enhancement is a less extreme form of paint correction. When we perform paint enhancement, we are telling the customer what paint imperfections WILL be fixed, and what imperfections WILL NOT be fixed. Paint enhancement is the most common type of correction we do! Why is that? Well, most customers don’t care about the tiny imperfections that they really can’t see anyway, and they are really concerned most with getting that ceramic coating on!
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is nothing more than more aggressive paint enhancement. Can you see the pattern here? When we are dealing with a vehicle whose paint is REALLY DAMAGED, or a customer who has a detailed eye, we will perform paint correction in order to remove the maximum amount of scratches, swirls, etchings, and paint imperfections as possible. Once again, this is necessary not only for visual appeal, but to create a smooth surface with which the ceramic coating can bond to the paint.
Do I Have To Get Paint Correction To Get A Ceramic Coating?
The simple answer is: Yes & No. Ok… maybe it’s not so simple. We have many customers who understand what paint correction is, and who realize that with it, the ceramic coating will have a longer life span, but they choose not to get any correction done because they want a lower price. While there are situations when paint correction is necessary, there are also situations where it can be optional, and we love talking with our customers about the difference.
Even the most surface level of paint enhancement will extend the life of the ceramic coating, create an amazingly beautiful surface, and maximize your dollars spent… so we like to say: “It’s your choice… but we are biased” :)
