But first, let’s start with:

What does our Professional Grade Ceramic Coating do?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer, primarily comprised of silica and titanium dioxide, that chemically bonds to your Vehicle’s exterior or interior surfaces. When those two chemicals bond, they create a hydrophobic barrier that protects your paint from the elements. Ceramic Coating helps protect your Vehicle from UV rays, insect acids, rain, bird droppings, oxidation, light swirls, and minor scratches.

Think of a ceramic coating as an additional layer of protection that sits on top of your paint’s clear coat. A common misconception is that a ceramic coating can prevent rock chips and major scratches from your Vehicle. That statement is false. A ceramic coating helps prevent swirls minor scratches, and protection from UV rays, bird droppings, and other contaminants.

Ultimate Shine is an accredited installer of  System X Ceramic Coatings, and we offer several options of ceramic Coating that can be applied to various parts of your Vehicle for an added layer of protection.

One of the most exciting features of having a professional-grade ceramic coating on your Vehicle is its hydrophobic properties. If you’re not familiar with the term “hydrophobic,” it simply means to repel water. Your paint will shed water! It’s a sight you must see.

We love walking out to our vehicles after a rain or during washing and seeing thousands of tiny water beads. Maintaining and cleaning your Vehicle will be much easier with the added layer of protection from the ceramic Coating.

Here are some of the benefits of applying a ceramic coating to your vehicle:

– Protection from harmful UV rays

– Protection against oxidation

– Lasts longer than traditional waxes and sealants

– Makes your vehicle easier to clean and maintain

– Adds depth and a high-gloss shine to your vehicle’s paint.

Consumer-grade Ceramic Coatings:

Browse the shelves at your local AutoZone or Walmart. You’ll see ceramic sprays, ceramic quick detailers, ceramic-infused waxes, and more. You can even hop on Amazon and choose from dozens of “ceramic” products.

When it comes down to it, these readily available consumer products are different from what I call an actual ceramic coating. They may contain some of the same ingredients, but you get a different result. They’re easy to use and have a low risk of anything going wrong. Many will even last for a few months, but not quite a year – and not multiple years.

If you are a DIY type of person, these are great options. Just expect them to last only a short time with re-application.

Professional-grade Ceramic Coatings

On the other hand, professional-grade ceramic coatings are difficult to apply, and a lot can go wrong if done improperly. They’re made of strong chemicals, so protective equipment (gloves, respirator) needs to be worn when installing them. Pro-grade ceramic coating companies are not selling their products on the shelves of auto stores because if they did, people would ruin their cars, breathe dangerous fumes, and sue companies.

We had to undergo extensive training and a vetting process for our business before we were allowed to purchase the Professional-Grade Ceramic Coatings we use. With pro-grade coatings, you’re looking at a couple hundred bucks in material to coat a vehicle. It is a very different thing from consumer products.

How Much Does a Ceramic Coating Cost for a Car?

There are a few factors when discussing the price of Ceramic Coating a car. A professionally installed Ceramic Coating can range from about $1,000 to over $3,000. It will depend on three main things:

1. The vehicle size and paint condition.
2. The longevity that you want out of your ceramic Coating.
3. Before the ceramic coating installation, The level of prep work and any paint correction/enhancement you may want to have done.

A 1-year ceramic coating applied to a Ford Fiesta will cost significantly less than a 10-year one used on a GMC Sierra 3500 Denali Dually with a full paint correction. As you can see, it’s a tricky question to give a precise answer to. If you’re interested in having your Vehicle coated, call us, and we can narrow that range down.
