CERAMIC COATINGS PROTECT EVERYTHING WAX CAN’T
Everyone has heard someone say… “Wax your vehicle.” or “Get it waxed.” Maybe you are one of them. A good wax is better than nothing. Paint needs protecting, after all.
The only problem with wax, besides having to prep and apply it every few months, is that it stains plastic trim and rubber. Forget about protecting those surfaces with wax… and take care not to get traditional wax on them, or risk staining the trim. Meaning, everything that is not paint, is left defenseless, to be beat on by the sun and the elements. Not to mention, a traditional wax, cannot handle the summer temperatures we see here in Northern California. It literally melts on the surface.
A BETTER WAY
Luckily, there is a better option available. One that happens to give your vehicle better protection from the elements, better protection from UV rays, and better protection from bugs, bird poop, chemicals and the elements.
We have long-term, multi-year coatings, specifically formulated with the latest, most effective, automotive surface coating technology that can bond, and protect, every exterior finish of your vehicle. We can protect paint, glass, wheels, mirrors, trim, plastics, lights, emblems, aftermarket accessories, and more.
A BETTER SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
Skip the hassle and time it takes to regularly apply a wax every couple months, whether you do it yourself, or pay someone to do it.. A long term coating is not only more cost effective, but also significantly better protection for your vehicle. It is also less time consuming to wash and maintain, and means your only without your vehicle once, instead of having it waxed 20-40 times over the same period of time… Investing in a quality ceramic coating application is a better overall solution for any vehicle.
P.S. THIS ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR REGULAR WAXING
PREPARATION IS THE CORNERSTONE
A quality ceramic coating, is only as good as the quality of the prep work, and the quality of the installation. This is why the far majority of time we spend on every coating application is in the preparation.
Every vehicle is different. Don’t forget, even “brand new” vehicles are handled, driven, loaded, unloaded and transported multiple times prior to the final owner receiving the keys to their “new car” at the dealership.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US
Before giving our professional recommendations, we will ask you questions to make sure we are addressing any specific areas of concern you have with your vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best level of service possible that fits you and your vehicle’s needs.

CAN A CERAMIC COATING MAKE YOUR PAINT LAST LONGER?
PAINT LASTS LONGER. TRIM STAYS RICH IN COLOR. FOR YEARS.
In order to maximize the life of your vehicle(s) finishes, it is always recommended to keep some form of paint protection on the surfaces of your vehicle. TRADITIONALLY, THAT WAS A WAX… Now, we have longer lasting options, offering better protection, available to us.
Our summers here in the Yuba City area, bring some very high surface temperatures. Organic waxes can melt at such high temperatures, and don’t offer the same level of protection to begin with for chemicals, bugs, bird poop, or wash marring. Almost anything starts to fade after two or three summers outside left unprotected. The sun eventually takes a toll on everything we leave outdoors. This is especially true for our vehicles.
BETTER PROTECTION
A ceramic coating in Northern California might be the perfect option for you, if you don’t enjoy applying waxes, and sealants, semi regularly. It provides the most proven surface protection available, short of Paint Protection Film (PPF). See our PPF page for more info on Paint Protection Film.
COATINGS = EASY MAINTENANCE
A proper ceramic coating can help simplify your maintenance routine, allowing you to skip your normal last protection step on your maintenance washes.
All that is necessary to easily keep the outside of your vehicle looking great, is a simple maintenance wash routine, with a gentle car wash soap and a drying aid.

FAQ
Professional prices from Automotive dealerships, range from $1200-$3000. From a specialized paint protection shop, you will see prices between $1000 and $2800. On the low end, there are cheap installations for around $700 (no warranty), but most of these are likely cutting costs somehow to stay profitable at this price range. It really depends on the level of quality and the level of service you desire. Ask questions like, “Is the shop insured?? How much of the vehicle is being coated, and is there a real warranty on your investment? Does the service include some level of aftercare? Does the service reflect on your CarFax so you get extra-credit for excellent maintenance boosting resale value? Can the Installer provide the long term annual maintenance services necessary to keep your vehicle’s coating performing excellent? (For example: Are they coating the Paint only with no polishing or you wanting the Paint, Trim, Wheels and Glass coated? Does the service include paint correction, polishing, or glass polishing? Are there any water spots that must be removed before polishing? Is the vehicle brand new or used?) To experience the best performance a premium quality ceramic coating can provide, including paint correction and polishing, all proper preparation procedures
and a coating installation you can .
Generally speaking, the life expectancy of a ceramic coating is determined by which coating is applied, how the vehicle is stored (inside vs. out in the elements) and how the vehicle is cared for. A quality product should last the stated duration of the product manufacturer by doing nothing more than regular hand washing, and a chemical iron decontamination service once or twice a year as needed. Depending on the specific ceramic coating product your installer is using, and assuming the proper preparation plus application steps are followed, a ceramic coating should last as long as the manufacturer and your installer claim it will. Look for a reputable installer, doing quality work, using quality coatings. Proper maintenance is the key.
It depends on your needs and what you want to protect your vehicle against. A ceramic coating is perfect for someone who wants easy maintenance, gloss, and protection, but does not care about scratches or potential rock chips. Premium PPF stops rock chips and scratches, plus has a built-in ceramic coating, and self-healing top coat. Having either of these options installed on your vehicle can help you keep your vehicle looking great for the entire life of ownership.
