Ceramic Coating
Years of gloss and protection, applied properly at your home.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, glossy, hydrophobic shield. Water beads and rolls off, grime struggles to stick, and the Southern California sun hits the coating instead of your paint.
The secret nobody advertises: the coating is only as good as the prep underneath it. Coating over swirls and contamination just seals the flaws in. That is why every coating job here starts with decontamination and, in most cases, paint correction, so what gets locked in is a finish worth locking in.
What this service includes
- Hydrophobic finish that makes water and grime slide off
- Serious UV protection for the Southern California sun
- Resistance to salt air, water spots, and freeway fallout
- Deep, wet-look gloss that lasts for years, not weeks
- Faster, safer washes for the life of the coating
How Miles approaches it
-
Decontaminate & prep
pH neutral wash, iron and tar removal, and clay bar so the coating bonds to clean paint, not to whatever the freeway left behind.
-
Correct the paint
Machine polishing removes swirls and defects so the coating locks in a flawless finish instead of preserving the damage.
-
Coat & cure
The coating is applied panel by panel, leveled carefully, and given proper cure time before the car goes back to work.
Ceramic coating is quoted per vehicle, because honest prep is most of the job and every car needs a different amount of it. Most projects pair coating with paint correction, which runs $200 to $850+ depending on condition. Call or text (562) 736-6391 and Miles will give you a straight answer on what your car actually needs.
Good to know
How long does a ceramic coating last?
With reasonable care, years rather than months. Exact lifespan depends on the coating chosen and how the car lives, and Miles walks you through honest expectations before any work starts.
Will it stop rock chips and scratches?
No coating is armor. It resists light wash marring, chemicals, and UV, and it makes contamination release easily, but rock chips and door dings are a job for paint protection film, not ceramic.
Is it worth it for my car?
For cars that park outside in LA, usually yes. We wrote an honest breakdown in this article, and Miles will tell you plainly if a wax or sealant is the smarter buy for your situation.
