How much does ceramic coating cost?
Typical ceramic coating with paint correction, clay bar, and iron decontamination is, on average, $1,200 - $3,000. Our service tends to be less expensive, making it one of the best deals in ceramic coating.
How much does PPF cost?
PPF cost is dependent on the parts of your vehicle you would like to protect as well as the size and shape of your vehicle. For example the average for a front end package, which includes hood, bumper, fenders and mirrors, is $1,600 - $3,600. The price for windshield only PPF for most vehicles is $450. Our prices generally run less than the average.
How much does Liquid Paint Protection cost?
Liquid PPF will generally run around $1500 for a full front end.

How long does it take to ceramic coat & ppf my vehicle?
In most instances, the ceramic coating process takes 8-10 hours, then needs to cure overnight. PPF is a two day process. Liquid PPF is a more similar time frame to ceramic coating, but depends on the coverage area.

Cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, golf carts, RV's, and if you are interested in our services for something else, just ask!
Common Ceramic Coating Questions:
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a clear, semi-permanent, liquid polymer that's applied to a car's exterior to protect it from the elements. It's made of silicon dioxide and other additives, like titanium dioxide, that create a tough bond with the car's paint and clear coat. The coating forms a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and grime, making it easier to clean and maintain the car. Ceramic coating can also protect against UV rays, light scratches, and chemical contaminants.
What ceramic coating product do you use?
3M™ Ceramic Coating is a proprietary ceramic coating which provides a protective layer that chemically bonds to automotive paint finishes. This ceramic coating is a top choice among ceramic installers for its long-lasting protection and durability. 3M™ ceramic coatings can provide years of shielding against elements like UV rays, acid rain, dirt and other environmental factors.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
YES! Benefits of ceramic coating include:
​
Enhanced protection: Ceramic coating can protect your car's paint from UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and minor scratches.
​
Easier cleaning: The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings make it easier to wash your car and remove water spots.
​
Increased resale value: A well-maintained car with a ceramic coating can command a higher resale value.
​
Improved appearance: Ceramic coatings can give your car a glossy, showroom-quality finish.
How long does ceramic coating last?
The average is 2-5 years. Some companies claim 5-10 years, but in reality, that is not the case. Factors that increase the life of ceramic coating include: parking inside a garage, parking out of the elements, frequency of washing, and how well it is maintained. A car that is parked outside and left to the elements, washed very often or not maintained will last about 2-3 years. You can expect up to 5 years for cars parked inside away from the elements, washed with very mild soap when needed, and maintained consistently.
Common PPF Questions:
What is PPF?
Paint Protection Film (PPF), also sometimes called "clear bra", is a layer of thick, clear urethane film. Urethane is a mixture of chemical compounds consisting of repeated structural units formed by polymerization. This mixture creates a strong and flexible material. Paint protection film is a transparent, adhesive-backed coating that protects a vehicle's exterior from damage by absorbing minor collisions and preventing scratches and chips.
Is PPF worth it?
Yes! PPF Features include:
​
Self-Healing Technology: PPF is resistant to impact and corrosions, making it difficult to damage. Even if it is impacted, many types of PPF are designed with self-healing technology – meaning that any surface-level damages will heal themselves over time. With PPF, the most vulnerable painted areas of your car (like your bumper) will be protected.
UV Ray Protection: The layers of material in PPF acts as a barrier between your vehicle and the sunlight. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause your vehicle to fade and discolor – but with PPF, the exterior of your vehicle will be preserved.
Hydrophobic Properties: PPF not only shields your vehicle from harmful natural elements such as acid rain, mineral deposits, and bugs but also offers remarkable stain resistance. Water, mud, and other contaminants simply slide off, minimizing the risk of swirl marks and ensuring your vehicle looks its best.
​
Easy to clean: The smooth surface repels dirt and grime
Benefits: Maintains the vehicle's appearance and value. Reduces the need for expensive paint repairs. Can be customized to cover specific areas of the vehicle.
Can you ceramic coat & PPF?
Yes. If you'd like extra protection, you can ceramic coat over your PPF. The ceramic coat, PPF combination is the ultimate in protection.
How long does PPF last?
The average longevity is 8-10 years
Common Liquid PPF Questions:
What is the advantage of Liquid PPF?
Liquid paint protection film provides a seamless, high-gloss layer of protection that easily covers complex, curved surfaces. Traditional Film-based PPF can leave visible seams or bubbles at the edges, while liquid PPF is hand applied to create a flawless finish.
Does Liquid protect as well as the traditional PPF film?
Yes, our new liquid PPF is polyurethane just like film PPF. It is polyurethane in a liquid state but with acrylic added giving it an unmatched strength against impacts.
Can you do Liquid PPF & Ceramic Coating?
Yes! For the ultimate protection, we can ceramic coat over the liquid PPF as part of our installation.
How long does Liquid PPF last?
For the life of the vehicle. It is a permanent bond that never gets old, yellows and never needs to be removed.
