Our Coating Process

A coating is only as good as the prep underneath it. Here is exactly what happens to your paint before a drop of coating goes on.

1. Decontamination

Foam bath, hand wash, iron remover and clay bar to strip bonded contaminants off the clear coat. Coating over dirty paint locks the dirt in — so this step is never skipped.

2. Paint Correction

Machine polishing removes swirls, wash marks and light scratches. The coating amplifies whatever is underneath, so the paint is corrected first.

3. Panel Prep

Every panel is wiped with a dedicated prep solution to remove polishing oils, giving the coating a clean surface to bond to.

4. Coating & Cure

The coating is applied panel by panel, leveled by hand, then left to cure. We tell you exactly how long to keep the vehicle dry.

Ceramic Coating FAQs

How long does ceramic coating last in Cincinnati weather?

A professionally applied coating over corrected paint lasts years, not weeks — through road salt, winter grime and summer sun — as long as it gets regular maintenance washes.

How much does ceramic coating cost?

Coating is quoted per vehicle because the price depends on size, paint condition and how much correction is needed. Call or text 513-813-4980 for a same-day quote.

How long does the job take?

Ceramic coating is a multi-stage job. Most vehicles take a full day, and heavier correction work can run longer.

Do I still have to wash my car?

Yes — but it gets far easier. Dirt and water release quickly from the coating, so maintenance washes are faster and much safer for the paint.

Can you coat my car at my house?

Yes. We are fully mobile across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky and arrive with everything needed. We just need a covered or sheltered spot for curing when weather calls for it.
