Ceramic Coating in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Ceramic Coating for Fort Lauderdale drivers, installed in Davie

The closest Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer to downtown Fort Lauderdale is fifteen minutes west on I-595, at 5150 SW 48th Way, Unit 614 in Davie, just off State Road 7 with the Hard Rock next door. From Las Olas, Victoria Park, Rio Vista or Flagler Village it is one road. From Coral Ridge or the Galt Mile, the 95 south to the 595 and you are here in about twenty.

A ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and makes it hard, glossy and slick. For a Fort Lauderdale car that means salt, bird droppings and water spots sit on the coating and rinse off instead of bonding to the paint and needing to be polished off. On the coast, where a car is in salt air whether it moves or not, that is the difference between paint that dulls in two summers and paint that still beads at year five.

Ceramic Pro packages start at $499. Bronze carries a 2-year warranty, Silver 5 years, Gold and Ultimate ION lifetime, all applied over corrected paint, registered with Ceramic Pro and reported to CARFAX. Financing is 0% for 12 months, and the inspection that tells you what your paint needs first is free.

How the coating goes on a coastal car

Two to three days for most cars. The coating needs a stable, dust-free room to flash and cure, so the car stays in the bay from drop-off to pickup.

• Free inspection. Under lights, with you there. Salt etching, water spots and wash swirls get identified, because a coating locks in whatever is under it.
• Decontamination and correction. Iron remover, tar remover, clay, then machine polishing. One stage is in every package; a car that has lived uncovered near the Intracoastal sometimes needs more, and we say so before starting.
• Layered by hand. 9H base coats for thickness, Top Coat for gloss and slickness, each layer flashed before the next, panel by panel in a climate-controlled room.
• Cure and documentation. The car sits indoors while the coating hardens, then the package is registered with Ceramic Pro and reported to CARFAX against the VIN, with the annual inspection date on your paperwork.

Why Fort Lauderdale paint dulls faster, and what a coating changes

Salt is hygroscopic: it pulls moisture out of the air and holds it against the surface, so a car parked near the water is effectively wet with brine for hours every night. On bare clear coat that slowly dulls the finish and sets water spots that need polishing. On a coated car the salt sits on a hard, slick layer and comes off with a hose. The coating is not a substitute for rinsing, but it turns rinsing into all the maintenance the paint needs.

Add the Fort Lauderdale extras: bird droppings under the palms on every street in Victoria Park, two lovebug flights a year that go acidic within a day, and a UV index at 7 or higher all summer. A coating resists all three. What it does not do is stop a rock on the 95, which is why the drivers who keep a car longest usually pair it with paint protection film on the front end, done in the same visit.
