Ceramic coating

A coating is not about chasing gloss. It is a protective layer on the paint that pushes water and dirt away, so the car stays clean longer and washing gets easier.

One thing has to be said up front: a coating does not fix what is under it. If there are scratches in the paint, they stay, only now under a protective layer. That is why a car with tired paint goes through polishing first, and we price that separately.
