PREMIUM MOBILE CERAMIC COATINGS IN SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT
Ceramic coating offers long-term protection by bonding to your car’s clear coat, providing up to five years of durability with minimal maintenance. Unlike waxing, which needs frequent reapplication, ceramic coating creates a hard, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making car washes quicker and easier while maintaining your vehicle’s shine.
Made with SiO2 (silicon dioxide), ceramic coating protects against UV damage, oxidation, and fading. The semi-permanent layer ensures your car remains glossy, easier to clean, and shielded from the elements, providing lasting protection and preserving its appearance over time.
WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?
A ceramic coating is not a requirement, but it is highly recommended for those seeking optimal long-term protection for their vehicle's paint. It creates a durable, hydrophobic layer that bonds to the clear coat, offering superior resistance to contaminants, water, and UV damage. This protective barrier helps prevent swirl marks, oxidation, and staining, ensuring that your car’s appearance is maintained for a longer period with minimal maintenance.
For vehicle owners who prioritize preserving their car’s aesthetic, ease of cleaning, and long-lasting protection, ceramic coatings are an excellent investment. While not essential for everyone, the benefits of reduced washing time, enhanced paint protection, and the prevention of environmental damage make it a smart choice for those looking to extend the lifespan and appearance of their vehicle's finish.
DO I NEED A CERAMIC COATING?
CERAMIC COATINGS CHANGE THE GAME
-
Ceramic coating provides a durable, long lasting shield against environmental damage, offering superior protection compared to traditional wax or sealants. Its advanced formula resists UV rays, oxidation, chemical stains, and minor scratches, preventing premature fading and deterioration of your vehicle’s paint. This strong barrier not only preserves your car’s pristine look but also maintains its value by reducing the risk of long-term paint damage.
-
Ceramic coating makes maintaining your vehicle easier than ever by creating a slick, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and grime. Contaminants like mud, bird droppings, and road salt have a harder time sticking to the paint, meaning less scrubbing and fewer trips to the car wash. With its self-cleaning properties, a simple rinse is often enough to keep your car looking freshly detailed, saving you time and effort while preserving a flawless finish.

A ceramic coating is a smart investment for maintaining your vehicle’s value and reducing long-term maintenance costs. By creating a durable, hydrophobic layer over your paint, it prevents oxidation, fading, and damage from UV rays, road debris, and environmental contaminants. This protective barrier means fewer paint corrections, less frequent waxing, and an overall lower cost of upkeep. In the long run, a ceramic-coated vehicle retains its showroom quality finish, enhancing resale value and ensuring your car looks newer for years to come.

We are a fully mobile detailing service, meaning we come to you! You no longer have to drop your vehicle off at a shop for days at a time. Our ceramic coating services are performed at your location, whether that's your home or a family member's house.

By coming to you, we eliminate the hassle of waiting around in a shop for 2-3 days, or even up to 5 days. All we need is access to a clean, enclosed area, and we’ll take care of the rest right at your doorstep!

Regular washing is still necessary to maintain your ceramic coating’s performance and keep your vehicle looking its best. While the coating repels dirt, water, and contaminants, it doesn’t eliminate the need for proper upkeep. Routine cleaning prevents grime buildup that could compromise its hydrophobic and glossy properties over time.
The benefit of ceramic coating is that it makes washing much easier. Dirt and water slide off effortlessly, requiring less scrubbing and reducing the risk of swirl marks. You have the option to wash it yourself using proper techniques or have it detailed to keep it in top condition.

While ceramic coatings don’t prevent rock chips or deep scratches, they do provide a durable layer that helps resist minor scratches and swirl marks. The slick surface makes it harder for dirt, dust, and other contaminants to embed into the clear coat, reducing the chances of light abrasions over time.
Though not a substitute for physical protection, a ceramic coating strengthens your vehicle’s finish and makes it more resistant to everyday wear. It also minimizes the risk of micro-marring during washing, helping to keep your paint looking flawless for longer.

The application of ceramic coating typically ranges from 3 to 9 hours, depending on the size of your vehicle and the services requested. We’ll perform the coating application on-site, and then your vehicle will need to cure for 12 hours, away from any contact with the elements. During this time, it's essential to avoid washing the car for 7 days to allow the coating to fully bond and perform at its best.
For interior coatings, the curing time is around 3 hours with an additional 24 hours for air drying. Glass coatings require 4 hours of curing time and 24 hours without using the wipers. We recommend taking these curing times into consideration to ensure that your vehicle gets the full benefits of the ceramic coating.
