The honest answer
The best ceramic coating is a professional-grade product, applied to paint that was corrected first, in a controlled bay, by an installer who will still be here to honor the warranty. Brand matters less than those four things. Most bad coating jobs we fix were good products applied badly.
Why we install Ceramic Pro
- Professional-only products with a range from Sport to Ultimate ION, so we can match the package to how long you will keep the car instead of selling one thing to everyone.
- Written warranties, 7-year on ION and lifetime on Ultimate ION, backed by the manufacturer, not just the shop.
- We are an authorized Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, which means the training, the products and the warranty registration are current.
- It sits well over Ceramic Pro film, which is why we can include a coating with every Full Front and Full Body PPF install.
How to compare coatings without the marketing
- Ask what paint correction is included. "One-step polish" and "two-step correction" are different jobs and different prices.
- Ask where it cures. A parking lot is not a bay.
- Ask who backs the warranty and what it excludes. Staining and improper washing are excluded by every manufacturer.
- Ask for photos of the paint under inspection lights before coating, not after.
