What a ceramic coating actually changes
A ceramic coating creates a durable protective layer over properly prepared paint. Its value is easier ongoing care and a finish designed to stay better protected—not a promise that damage becomes impossible.
Easier routine washing and drying, contamination releasing more readily, added resistance against everyday environmental exposure, and preserving the appearance of correctly prepared paint.
It does not stop every scratch, rock chip, or paint defect. It does not eliminate washing or safe maintenance.
A coating sits over the finish that already exists. Paint correction improves eligible light defects before protection is installed.
Deep scratches, oxidation, failing clear coat, overspray, repaint work, and previously coated panels need individual review.
The finish under the coating matters
This package begins with a thorough wash, decontamination, inspection, single-stage polish, and surface preparation before the coating is installed.
Hand wash, foam bath, bug removal, and deep cleaning of wheels and rims.
Clay-bar treatment and micro-contaminant removal.
Paint evaluation plus the appropriate polish and pad selection.
Targets approximately 60–70% of light and fine scratches and swirls.
IPA wipe-down removes polishing residue before coating.
A 5-year coating is applied; 6- and 8-year upgrades are available.
Condition matters: this service is not designed to remove deep scratches, heavy defects, failing clear coat, or every unique paint imperfection. Those conditions require inspection and may need a different plan.

Ceramic coating or wax?

Is this package right for your vehicle?
Strong fit
- The vehicle is in average overall condition.
- You want noticeable improvement in light swirls and fine scratches.
- You want prepared paint with longer-term ceramic protection.
- You understand the finish still needs safe washing and care.
Inspection-first fit
- There are deep scratches, heavy oxidation, paint failure, overspray, or unusual defects.
- Panels were recently repainted or the vehicle was previously coated.
- You expect every defect to disappear.
- The finish may need more than one correction stage.
Protection still needs good maintenance
Exposure changes through the year. Safe washing and prompt contamination removal help the coating and finish perform as intended.
Remove road film and winter contamination before it builds up.

Avoid letting mineral-rich water or contamination dry repeatedly on the surface.
Use safe wash methods and avoid aggressive automatic-brush washes when possible.
Ceramic coating questions
Does ceramic coating stop scratches or rock chips?
No. A coating can support easier maintenance and resistance against everyday environmental exposure, but it is not scratch-proof or rock-chip-proof. Paint-protection film is a separate product for physical impact protection.
Do you polish the paint before applying the coating?
Yes. The active package includes inspection, pad and polish selection, a single-stage correction, and an IPA wipe-down before the 5-year coating is installed.
Will the single-stage polish remove every defect?
No. It targets approximately 60–70% of light and fine scratches and swirls. Deep scratches, heavy defects, and unique paint issues require inspection and may need a different plan.
How long does the service take?
The current estimated duration is about six hours. Condition, vehicle size, and preparation needs can affect the final schedule.
How much does the package cost?
The active package is $899.99 for a coupe or sedan, $999.99 for a small or midsize SUV, and $1,099.99 for a truck or three-row SUV, assuming average condition.
Which coating brand do you use?
ACS will confirm the professional coating system and aftercare guidance during your consultation. We are keeping this page brand-neutral until the coating system is finalized.
Do I still need to wash the vehicle?
Yes. Ceramic coating is not maintenance-free. Safe routine washing and prompt contamination removal help the finish perform as intended.
