Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is the ultimate paint protection. A single application bonds to your clear coat at the molecular level, creating a permanent hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, UV rays, and chemical contaminants for up to 2 years.

What's Included
Unlike waxes and sealants that sit on top of your paint and wash away within weeks, a ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat to create a semi-permanent layer of protection. This nano-ceramic layer is incredibly hard (9H hardness rating), hydrophobic, and self-cleaning — water beads and sheets off, taking dirt with it.
Our ceramic coating service includes full paint preparation: hand wash, clay bar decontamination, and a light machine polish to remove minor swirl marks and imperfections. The paint must be in optimal condition before coating, because the ceramic locks in whatever is underneath — good or bad.
We use professional-grade ceramic products from brands like Gtechniq and CarPro that are only available to certified detailers. These coatings offer genuine 1–2 year durability with proper maintenance, unlike consumer-grade sprays that last weeks.
Our Process
Wash & Decontaminate
Full hand wash followed by iron remover and clay bar to strip all bonded contaminants from the paint.
Paint Correction (Light)
Single-stage machine polish to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation — creating a flawless base.
Panel Wipe
IPA wipe-down to remove all polishing oils and ensure the coating bonds directly to bare clear coat.
Ceramic Application
Coating applied panel by panel, leveled, and allowed to flash before buffing. Even, complete coverage.
Cure & Inspect
Initial cure period (24 hours before water contact). Final inspection under LED lights for any missed spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Our professional-grade ceramic coatings last 1–2 years with proper maintenance. This is dramatically longer than any wax (2–4 weeks) or sealant (2–3 months). We recommend an annual maintenance wash with a coating-safe soap.
Can you apply ceramic coating at my house?
Yes — we apply ceramic coatings on-location in a controlled environment. We set up a canopy or work in a garage to ensure dust-free application. The coating needs 24 hours to cure before water exposure.
Is ceramic coating worth the cost?
If you care about your vehicle's appearance and want to reduce maintenance, yes. A ceramic coating eliminates the need for waxing, makes washing faster and easier, and protects against the harsh salt air and UV exposure common in the Hamptons.
Do I still need to wash my car after ceramic coating?
Yes, but much less frequently. The hydrophobic surface repels most dirt and contaminants. When you do wash, it takes half the time because nothing sticks. We recommend a maintenance wash every 3–4 weeks.
Can ceramic coating remove scratches?
The coating itself doesn't remove scratches — but our service includes a light paint correction (machine polish) before application that removes swirl marks and minor scratches. Deep scratches that go through the clear coat need separate repair.
