ULTIMATE PROTECTION FOR YOUR RIDE

PROFESSIONAL CERAMIC COATING INSTALLATION

JACKSONVILLE AND ST. JOHNS CERAMIC COATING PACKAGES

Our professionally installed ceramic coatings form an ultra-hard surface that holds up significantly better than a conventional wax or sealant. The layer of protection shields against UV radiation, water spots, bug residue and other contaminants. With its hydrophobic properties, ceramic coatings make cleaning easier, as dirt and grime have a harder time sticking to the coated surface. In addition, it lasts for years without any major maintenance, except periodic cleaning.

WHAT IS A CERAMIC COATING?

Ceramic coating is a layer of protection that covers the surface of your vehicle and acts as a shield against everyday wear like water spots, bug residue and other contaminants. Since the coating is ceramic-based, it’s hydrophobic properties cause the water to bead up and roll off allowing for easier cleaning and protection to your vehicle.

Our professionally installed ceramic coatings form an ultra-hard surface that holds up better than any other conventional surface finish like wax. Ceramic coatings last for years without any major maintenance, except for periodic cleaning to keep it looking its best.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF A CERAMIC COATING?

  1. Your vehicle will be easier to clean
  2. No more waxing 2-4 times a year
  3. It’s cost effective
  4. An extra layer of hardened protection
  5. Ceramic coatings repel mud, dirt and water
  6. Keeps your vehicle looking new for years
  7. UV protection to prevent fading and loss of shine
  8. Makes removing bugs simple and fast change
  9. Coating makes cleaning faster and easier

WHY IS A CERAMIC COATING BETTER THAN WAX?

Most ceramic coatings can last more than three years without any major maintenance, except for periodic cleaning to keep it looking its best. Waxes only last about six weeks before they begin to wear thin and crack so ceramic coatings are almost always the better choice over wax when trying to preserve the lifespan of your vehicles paint job. Ceramic coatings last for years with proper wash technique and periodic maintenance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROFESSIONAL GRADE CERAMIC COATINGS

Yes, you should absolutely consider ceramic coating your vehicle. Whether you have a new-to-you car or a brand new car, long-term is the best time to get it protected with a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings will not only provide your vehicle with great long-term protection, but they will also enhance the gloss and shine on your vehicle and make washing and maintaining it very easy due to the coating’s hydrophobic properties. Getting your vehicle protected early on is the best way to keep it looking good for years to come and to avoid paint fading and paint failure.

When choosing a ceramic coating package, there are a few things to consider, such as:

How long will you be keeping the vehicle? Will it be kept in a garage or outside? How will you be maintaining the vehicle (hand wash/car wash)?

We offer a line of professional-grade ceramic coatings ranging from 3 years to 10 years and are backed with an industry-leading warranty.

The cost of a ceramic coating can vary depending on a few factors such as the size and condition of the vehicle. Some vehicles may need more paint preparation than others and would require a gloss enhancement polish or even paint correction before the coating could be applied.

There are also several add-on options for ceramic coating as well, which can influence the price such as wheels, glass, and interior.

If you would like to know exactly how much it will cost to ceramic coat your vehicle, please give us a call, submit an online request, or schedule an appointment with us to stop by in person for a free inspection and quote for your vehicle. We are happy to go over the different options and help you pick the right ceramic coating package for you.

Once a ceramic coating has been applied to your vehicle, we recommend an inspection every 6 months to a year which would include a hand wash, paint decontamination, and application of a ceramic sealant. At that time, we would assess how the ceramic coating is performing.

Typically on well maintained vehicles that are driven daily, you can expect to see at a minimum of 2-3 years protection and a maximum of 7-10 years. There are a few factors that play into how long a ceramic coating will last: how often and what type of wash technique is being done to the vehicle; where the vehicle is kept (inside vs. outside); darker colored vehicles will attract more heat from the sun’s UV rays and will deteriorate the ceramic coating quicker; and which ceramic coating was applied to your vehicle.

We include a gloss enhancement polish to best prepare the vehicle’s paint before applying a ceramic coating.

If our client is unsure and would like our professional opinion about their vehicle’s paint, we are happy to inspect it and make suggestions and recommendations. In our experience, even brand new vehicles will have some level of paint defects, imperfections, flaws, blemishes, and even swirls and scratches. The swirls and scratches we see on brand new vehicles is mostly likely from the dealership’s lack of knowledge or care in the washing and preparation of a new vehicle for their client.

Yes, you can ceramic coat your vehicle yourself, however, we don’t recommend it unless you have experience applying ceramic coatings.  We are trained and certified holding both Certified Detailer (CD) and Skills Validated (SV) certifications within the IDA. The International Detailing Association sets the standard for the highest quality auto detailers that exist in the industry. We don’t just detail cars, we’re a business that believes in continued education and ensuring we deliver the highest customer experience and vehicle results in the industry.

We are also a certified CARFAX detail center, the trusted advisor for vehicle history reports. We report everything from a maintenance wash to paint correction and ceramic coating services, increasing resale value and providing valuable documentation on your vehicle’s CARFAX history report. If you are applying a ceramic coating yourself, you are likely buying a consumer-grade ceramic coating product, meaning it is not going to be as durable as a professional-grade ceramic coating and is also not going to come with any kind of warranty.

No, ceramic coatings are not permanent, however neither is your vehicle’s clearcoat when neglected. Durability on ceramic coatings range from 2-10 years depending on how it is maintained.

No matter how many layers of ceramic coating are applied, you’re never going to protect your paint against rock chips. If you’re worried about rock chips, then please contact us about our Paint Protection Film (PPF) services, which does protect your vehicle’s paint against rock chips, swirls, and scratches.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a ceramic coating on the market that will prevent swirls and scratches. No matter what you may have read, been told, or seen online, we can tell you from experience that there is no ceramic coating that will stop swirls and scratches from happening.

Claims of “self-healing ceramic coatings” will not prevent swirls and scratches. However, a ceramic coating will greatly reduce the chance of swirls and scratches from happening. Due to a coating’s durability and hydrophobic properties, it allows most of the dust and dirt on your vehicle to simply rinse right off with just a pressure washer or hose.

The professional-grade ceramic coatings we offer here at Gloss Pro Auto Spa will not yellow, discolor, or flake off over time.

We do not recommend waxing your vehicle after a ceramic coating has been applied. Wax will limit the anti-static characteristics of the coating. Applying a wax or a sealant will actually attract more dust and dirt to your vehicle. What we suggest is using a dedicated ceramic spray sealant every six months if you want to boost and prolong the hydrophobic top coat of your ceramic coating.

Yes, ceramic coatings can be applied to both interior and exterior surfaces. Alongside coating your vehicle’s exterior paintwork, we can also apply our ceramic coatings to your wheels, brakes, exterior glass surfaces, and we even offer an interior protection package that features ceramic coatings on leather, cloth, and vinyl surfaces.

Some ceramic coatings are more durable than others – the professional-grade ceramic coatings we use here at Gloss Pro Auto Spa are very durable and have undergone industry-leading testing.

What makes ceramic coatings so much more durable than wax or sealant is that they actually bond to your vehicle’s paint, which greatly increases the lifespan of protection on your vehicle.

Typically the way we determine if a ceramic coating is still performing the way it should is by washing the vehicle – the water on the paint should have beading, which is a good indication that the coating is still holding up. Over time, the coating will start to break down or get contamination building up and you will notice the water beading action and ease of maintenance is not like it once was. We can perform a decontamination wash to unclog the coating and apply a ceramic sealant/topper to increase the hydrophobic properties.

We highly recommend bringing your vehicle to us for a ceramic coating maintenance detail every 6 months to a year to prolong its life.

Paint Protection film (PPF), also known as clear bra film or clear paint film, is a nearly invisible film that is applied to a vehicle’s painted surface areas to protect from rock chips, scratches and other types of damage.  PPF is made of high-quality, long-lasting, polyurethane consisting of a layer of adhesive, polyurethane base and a top coat. Think of paint protection film like a screen protector for your phone, except larger and even more durable.

Ceramic coating is a layer of protection that covers the surface of your vehicle and acts as a shield against everyday wear like water spots, bug residue and other contaminants. Since the coating is ceramic-based, it’s hydrophobic properties cause the water to bead up and roll off allowing for easier cleaning and protection to your vehicle.

Public car washes, especially those with “soft-touch” bristles should always be avoided. These drive-thru services can rub abrasive residue left behind by previous vehicles against your finish, and in turn, if you have a ceramic coating, it can be deeply scratched and less effective. Additionally, the chemicals used in these car washes can be corrosive and prematurely erode your ceramic coating. If you are planning to use a machine car wash, we still believe having a ceramic coating is still your best form of protection from the elements. However, the durability may be impacted.
