Ceramic Coating

- Carries forward the prepared finish beneath it

AuthorizedInstaller
Ceramic coating is a liquid-applied, SiO₂-based coating that chemically bonds to your vehicle's paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic layer. Unlike paint protection film, which provides a physical barrier against rock chips and scratches, ceramic coating helps resist environmental contaminants, enhances gloss, and makes regular maintenance easier.
While traditional wax typically lasts a few months at most, professionally installed ceramic coatings can provide years of protection. Their hydrophobic properties help prevent dirt, bugs, and road grime from adhering to paint, making your vehicle easier to clean through Colorado's changing seasons.
As a Ceramic Pro installer, we offer several coating packages with different levels of protection and warranty coverage. Every installation begins with careful paint preparation and correction where needed.

What goes into every ceramic coating.
Every vehicle arrives in a different condition, including brand-new ones. We evaluate the paint to determine what preparation and correction are needed before applying a ceramic coating.
New still deserves an inspection.
We inspect the paint under proper lighting to identify swirls, scratches, and other imperfections. The vehicle is thoroughly washed and decontaminated before any correction or coating begins.
Ceramic coating and PPF solve different problems.
Start with the exposure you want to manage. The services can complement each other, but they are not interchangeable.
Paint Protection Film
- Adds a physical film over selected painted panels
- Addresses road debris and impact exposure
- Uses panel coverage to define the scope

Coated does not mean maintenance-free.
A coating is designed to make care more manageable, not unnecessary. The handoff should leave you with a routine that matches the actual work.
Keep a regular wash rhythm
You'll notice that your car stays cleaner longer. Washing regularly will help maintain the performance of your ceramic coating over time.
Handle contamination promptly
Bird droppings, tree sap, and similar contamination are better addressed before they sit on the surface for an extended period.
Ask before using aggressive products
If the surface stops behaving as expected, contact us before trying a harsh cleaner or polishing product.
Ceramic Coating, plainly.
Direct answers about preparation, scratches, rock chips, washing, and new vehicles.
Is ceramic coating the same as PPF, and will it stop rock chips?
No. Coating changes surface behavior and finish care. PPF is a separate film used for impact-focused coverage on selected painted panels.
Will coating remove scratches or swirl marks?
No. Existing appearance concerns should be assessed before coating. Paint correction may be discussed first.
Do I still need to wash the vehicle?
Yes. Coated vehicles still need appropriate routine cleaning and care.
Can coating be applied to a new vehicle?
New vehicles can still have different paint conditions and preparation needs. We look at the actual vehicle before recommending a plan.
Can coating be discussed for more than painted panels?
Yes. Tell us which exterior or interior surfaces matter to you. We will confirm what is appropriate and in scope before work begins.
How do I know which option is right?
Tell us how you use the vehicle, what you want to improve, and how you plan to care for it. We will recommend a sensible starting point after reviewing the finish.
Tell us which package you are considering.
Share the vehicle, current paint condition, and package that interests you. We will confirm preparation and fit before the work is scheduled.
