Ceramic coating is a chemical polymer semi-permanent solution that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect it from paint damage.
With a ceramic coating, you get long-lasting protection and shine for your vehicle’s paintwork. Ceramic coating has several benefits for your car without touching your car’s factory paint job.
Benefits of Ceramic Coating
Hydrophobic
Protective
Sleek
The molecular property of the coating blends with your vehicle’s paint to create a layer of protection from water and dirt. The coatings are also hydrophobic, meaning they avoid water from bonding with the painted surface preventing rust and/or corrosion.
Ceramic coating provides three times the hardness of traditional paint coats and can therefore protect your car from dirt, grime, stains, oxidation, acid rain, bird droppings, bug splatters, calcium deposits, strong chemicals, spray paint, and brake dust.
Paint Correction is often part of the ceramic coating process. Making sure we apply a ceramic coating to a clean surface is the best way to get the longest life out of the product.

We Use AvalonKing Products
AvalonKing, believes that getting the right care for your investment should be easy and affordable. They strive to make their ceramic coating the best on the market, while making sure it is not overpriced. Utilizing the latest in nano-technology, their scratch-resistant ceramic coating forms a strong glass-like protective layer above your paint. Because the nano-particles are so small, they seal the pores of the the car’s surface paint. This makes the paint hydrophobic (i.e. water-repellent), and resistant to UV, scratches, chemicals, and heat.
One of the featured products that we use is the ARMOR SHIELD IX. This product gives your car a professional shine and deep wet gloss and repels UV rays, road grime, mud, pollen, acid rain, water, bird droppings, and any other crud.
