Ceramic Coating in Columbus, OH
A professional ceramic coating bonds to your paint and creates a hard, glossy, hydrophobic layer. Dirt and water slide off, washing takes half the time, and the finish stays deeper for years instead of months.
Every coating we install starts with proper prep — decontamination and paint correction — because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it.
- Multi-year protection
- Hydrophobic finish
- Prep & correction included
- Wheels, glass & trim options
What you get
How we coat a car
Ceramic coating provides long-lasting gloss and easier maintenance. What changes between packages is how much correction happens first.

Coating + Correction
Multi-stage paint correction first for swirled or older paint, then the coating. The best result on any car.
Add-ons
Wheel faces and calipers, glass, trim and plastics, plus interior leather and fabric coatings.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Professional coatings are rated for multiple years depending on the product and how the car is washed and stored. [CLIENT: product names & rated durability]
Is ceramic coating worth it?
If you want gloss, easier washes and protection from bird droppings, water spots and UV, yes. It is not a scratch-proof shield — that is what PPF is for.
Do I still need to wash the car?
Yes, but less often and much faster. Dirt does not bond to a coated surface.
Can you coat a wrapped or PPF'd car?
Yes. Coating over PPF or matte and gloss vinyl adds hydrophobics and easier cleaning.
How long does it take?
Typically 1–3 days including correction and cure time.
Can I apply it myself?
Consumer kits exist, but prep is 80% of the result and professional coatings are not sold retail.
