Ceramic Coating Experts in Fort Lauderdale FL
Protect Your Vehicle’s Paint with Long-Lasting Shine
Ceramic Coating for Maximum Protection and Shine
Your vehicle deserves the best protection against the harsh Florida elements. Our ceramic coating services provide a high-gloss, durable shield that keeps your car looking new for years. Unlike wax or sealants that wear off in a matter of months, ceramic coatings create a long-lasting protective layer that repels dirt, UV rays, water, and environmental contaminants.
We specialize in applying premium-grade ceramic coatings designed to enhance the depth and clarity of your paint while making your car easier to clean and maintain.
Before applying the coating, we ensure your paint is in optimal condition by performing a thorough paint correction and polishing process. This removes swirls, oxidation, and light scratches to create a smooth, flawless surface. The end result is a showroom-quality shine that lasts for years.
The Benefits of Ceramic Coating
The climate in Fort Lauderdale can take a toll on your car’s exterior. High humidity, intense sunlight, and salty coastal air can cause wear and tear on the paint. A ceramic coating acts as a protective barrier, preventing damage and reducing the need for constant upkeep. Here’s why more people are choosing ceramic coatings:
Superior Protection: A ceramic coating acts as a powerful barrier against the elements, blocking out harmful UV rays that cause paint fading and oxidation. It also protects against dirt, chemical stains, and bird droppings, preventing long-term damage and keeping your vehicle in pristine condition.
Hydrophobic Properties: One of the standout benefits of ceramic coatings is their extreme hydrophobic effect. Water, mud, and other contaminants slide off effortlessly, minimizing streaks and water spots. This not only makes routine washing easier but also significantly reduces the need for frequent cleaning, keeping your car looking fresh and polished with minimal effort.
Deep, Glossy Finish: A ceramic coating does more than just protect—it enhances. By adding an ultra-smooth and reflective surface, it brings out the richness and depth of your vehicle’s paint, giving it an eye-catching, mirror-like shine. This deep gloss effect helps maintain that just-waxed appearance for years, making your vehicle stand out wherever you go.
Eliminates the Need for Waxing: Unlike traditional wax, which breaks down over time and requires frequent reapplication, ceramic coatings provide long-lasting protection with minimal upkeep. A single application can last for years, saving you time and money on continuous waxing. Your vehicle will maintain its sleek, glossy finish without the need for constant touch-ups.
Versatile Protection: Ceramic coatings are not just for paint. There’s multiple types of coatings that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including wheels, glass, plastic trim, and even interior components such as leather and fabric. You can even coat your headlights after a headlight restoration. This protection ensures that every part of your vehicle remains resistant to stains, UV exposure, and environmental contaminants, making maintenance easier across the board.

Our Ceramic Coating Process
Applying a ceramic coating the right way requires multiple steps to ensure it bonds correctly and delivers long-term protection. Here is how we do it:
Deep Cleaning and Decontamination: Before we apply any coating, we start with a complete exterior wash. This removes dirt, grime, and road contaminants. Next, we use a clay bar treatment and iron decontamination to extract embedded particles that washing alone cannot remove. This step ensures the paint is as smooth and clean as possible before moving forward.
Paint Correction and Polishing: This is where we refine your vehicle’s finish. We inspect the paint for swirls, oxidation, and minor scratches. If needed, we perform a single-step or multi-step paint correction to restore the gloss.
A ceramic coating enhances what is already there, so this step ensures that we are sealing in a flawless surface, not imperfections. Depending on your car’s condition, this process may take a few hours or up to two days.
Applying the Ceramic Coating: Once the surface is properly prepped, we apply a panel prep solution to remove any remaining residues. Then, we carefully apply the ceramic coating to each section of your vehicle, allowing it to bond and cure.
As the coating cures over the next 24 hours, it forms a durable, protective layer that enhances and preserves your vehicle’s finish.

Ceramic Coating FAQs
Is ceramic coating the right choice for my vehicle?
Ceramic coatings provide excellent protection but it really depends on your vehicle and what you’re looking to get done. As great as ceramic coatings are, getting a sealant applied to your paint can also be the right choice.
How long should I wait before washing my car after ceramic coating?
We recommend keeping your vehicle dry for at least 24 hours. Wait about two weeks before your first wash to allow the coating to fully cure.
Can a ceramic coating fix faded or peeling paint?
No, ceramic coatings protect and enhance existing paint but will not fix failing clear coat. If your paint is peeling or severely faded, repainting may be necessary to bring it back to its original condition.
Why is paint correction necessary before ceramic coating?
Skipping paint correction can result in sealing in imperfections and you simply don’t get the same benefits of the coating without it. Proper preparation ensures that the coating bonds correctly, providing maximum durability and a smooth, glossy finish. If your car is in excellent condition, we may only need to do a light polish.
