Ceramic Coating FAQ
How long does ceramic coating last?
Durability varies by product, preparation, vehicle use, storage, and maintenance. We will explain the selected product without overstating its expected life.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

Can ceramic coating be applied to older vehicles?
Yes, when the paint is suitable and properly prepared. Inspection determines the preparation required.
Does the vehicle need paint correction first?
Not always, but polishing or correction may be recommended because the coating preserves the appearance beneath it.
