What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is essentially a thin, glass-like layer that serves as a protective barrier between your car’s paint and the daily barrage of harsh elements. This protective layer shields your paint from damaging UV rays, and prevents acid etching caused by bug splatter or bird droppings. It also makes car washing quicker and easier, reducing the effort needed to maintain a clean vehicle.
Cars treated with ceramic coating maintain their cleanliness longer. The coating’s ultra-smooth finish means dirt and contaminants are less likely to adhere to the paint, keeping your vehicle looking pristine for extended periods.
Say goodbye to wax.
Forget about wax—embrace the future with ceramic coating. We’ve been at the forefront of the ceramic coating industry from the start, collaborating closely with manufacturers in both research and development.

Our Process
An extensive process by certified technicians
Every vehicle that comes to us starts with a comprehensive exterior detailing to meticulously clean all exterior surfaces. This begins with an initial wash, followed by the application of an iron deposit remover. We then conduct a clay treatment using different grades of synthetic clay to remove as much embedded contamination as possible.
After achieving a surgically clean paint surface, we proceed to the Paint Correction stage. Here, we employ various combinations of compounds and polishes to eliminate scratches and defects, smoothing the paint’s surface at a microscopic level.
Next, we use a solvent prep to wipe away any residual oils from the paint correction process. This step ensures that we have a pristine, flawless surface for the Ceramic Coating to adhere to. Our expert application techniques guarantee complete coverage and flawless execution.
Once the ceramic coating is applied at our Houston facility, each vehicle undergoes a thorough quality inspection to ensure perfection before it’s ready for pickup.
