“AMAZING! Estera worked for 14.5 hrs. straight on my 2018 Honda Accord in my own garage. She began at 9:00 am on a rainy Thursday washing, using a clay bar then wet sanding scraches and mars from bird droppings to compounding the entire car for paint correction. After prepping the car with a mirror finish, she applied a lifetime warranty ceramic coating then finishing the entire project at 11:30 pm. The car looks like it just pulled off the showroom floor. I have her scheduled to do the same on my other two cars. This girl is incredible!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Ceramic Coating Do?
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.”
What Does a Ceramic Coating NOT Do?
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 Does a Ceramic Coating Last?
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.
Why is a Ceramic Coating is Bad?
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.
Is a Ceramic Coating is Good for a New Car?
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”).
How Long Does the Service Take?
Most ceramic coating services take 1–2 days depending on the vehicle. We do offer pick up and drop off services for your convenience.
