Service 01Ceramic coating in Largo, FLGloss you can wash in ten minutes

Professional coatings are rated in years, not months: typically 2 to 5+ depending on the product. Florida sun, salt air and how the car is washed decide where in that range yours lands. We go through the rated life of the coating at the consultation.

Almost always. A coating locks in whatever is underneath, swirls included, and makes them harder to fix later. We inspect the paint first and tell you whether it needs a light polish or a full multi-stage correction.

The coating cures indoors before pickup, but it keeps hardening for about a week. Skip washing for the first 7 days and avoid automatic washes entirely. We walk you through aftercare when you pick the car up.

Wax lasts weeks. A ceramic coating lasts years and makes washing easy, but it will not stop a rock chip. Paint protection film is a physical layer that absorbs chips and scratches. Many owners put film on the front end and coat the rest.

It depends on the vehicle's size and paint condition; correction is most of the labor. Every quote follows a free, in-person paint inspection, so the number reflects your car, not a guess.

For a car that lives outside here, usually yes. UV, salt air, lovebugs and summer rain spots all attack bare clear coat, and a coating lets each of them wash off instead of etching in. It isn't worth putting over paint that hasn't been corrected first.
