Ceramic coating – long-term gloss and protection
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your car’s clear coat, forming a durable, invisible layer of protection. Once applied, it enhances your paint’s gloss and repels water, dirt, and contaminants:
- Hydrophobic surface repels water, mud, and grime
- Protects against UV damage and oxidation
- Reduces risk of minor scratches and swirl marks
- Maintains high-gloss shine for years, not weeks
- Makes washing and maintenance quicker and easier
Unlike waxes or sealants that wear off in weeks, ceramic coating lasts for years with proper care—keeping your vehicle looking new and feeling smooth to the touch.
PPF - impact resistance where it matters most
PPF, also called Clear Bra, is a transparent, ultra-durable urethane film that is applied to high-impact areas of your vehicle. It physically protects your paint from rocks, road debris, bug splatter, and other common sources of damage:
- Shields paint from stone chips and scratches
- Nearly invisible—preserves the look of your vehicle
- Self-healing surface resists marks and scuffs
- Enhances and protects resale value
PPF is the go-to solution for performance vehicles, new cars, and highway commuters looking to protect their investment long-term.

When should you apply this protection?
Timing matters when it comes to protecting your vehicle’s finish.
The best time to apply ceramic coating or PPF is when the paint is in excellent condition—whether it’s a brand-new car or freshly refinished after a repair.
That’s why many of our customers choose to bundle these services with their collision repair appointment. Applying protection early helps lock in the paint’s shine and clarity while shielding it from road salt, tree sap, and other harsh elements.
Whether you want to protect your daily driver or preserve the value of your luxury vehicle, early application ensures you get the most from your investment.
