Ceramic coating

Gloss, hydrophobic protection, and easier maintenance.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds chemically with your factory paint to form an invisible barrier against UV rays, road chemicals, contaminants, and oxidation. Unlike wax, it doesn't wash off — and unlike a sealant, it bonds at the molecular level for years of protection.

We install XPEL Fusion Plus, a true 9H ceramic coating with advanced hydrophobic (water-repelling) and oleophobic (oil-repelling) properties. It delivers superior, long-lasting defense against UV fading, oxidation, and corrosion while making your car dramatically easier to wash and maintain.

Proper preparation is everything with ceramic coating — the surface must be decontaminated and any paint imperfections corrected first, or the coating will lock them in. We allocate the time to prep correctly so the finish you get is the finish you keep.

Install process

The coating is only as good as the prep.

  1. 01
    Inspection & Consultation

    We assess your paint condition under multiple light sources and recommend the right preparation — wash only, light decontamination, or full paint correction.

  2. 02
    Decontamination & Paint Correction

    Clay bar, iron remover, and (if needed) machine polishing remove embedded contaminants, swirl marks, and oxidation so the coating bonds to clean, level paint.

  3. 03
    Surface Prep

    An IPA wipedown strips every residue so the coating binds directly to your clear coat with no contamination in between.

  4. 04
    XPEL Fusion Application

    Coating is applied panel-by-panel in a controlled environment and leveled to a uniform finish.

  5. 05
    Curing

    Your vehicle stays with us while the coating cures and cross-links. We recommend waiting 7 days before the first wash.

Questions

Frequently asked

Quick answers to common questions about ceramic coating.

How long does ceramic coating last?
XPEL Fusion is rated for up to 8 years depending on preparation and maintenance. Real-world longevity depends heavily on prep quality and how the vehicle is cared for after install.
Can ceramic coating be applied on top of paint protection film?
Yes — and it's actually a popular combination. PPF handles impact protection while ceramic coating layered over it enhances the hydrophobic effect and makes cleaning effortless.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
If your paint has swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, paint correction is highly recommended. Coatings lock in whatever is on the surface — so any defects will be permanently visible underneath. We always assess and recommend the right level of correction.
How soon can I wash my car after getting it ceramic coated?
Wait at least 7 days before the first wash. This gives the coating time to fully cross-link and bond with your paint. After that, maintenance is simple and quick.
