How we apply your coating

  1. Wash & decontaminateHand wash and snow foam bath, then a full exterior decontamination to remove road film and built-up grime.
  2. Clay barRemoves bonded contaminants so the paint is perfectly smooth before polishing.
  3. 1-step machine polishOn polish packages, we remove swirls and light defects and bring back the gloss — the coating locks in whatever is underneath, so this step matters.
  4. Panel prepAn IPA panel wipe removes polishing oils so the coating bonds directly to clean paint.
  5. CoatingApplied by hand to paint, trim, headlights and glass (plus door jambs on 9-year packages).
  6. Cure & inspectAn overnight cure is recommended, and every coating gets a free inspection within 30 days.

Why ceramic coat your car in the East Bay?

East Bay sun, bird droppings, tree sap and hard water are tough on clear coat. A ceramic coating adds a hard, slick, hydrophobic layer on top of your paint, so water beads and sheets off, dirt has a harder time sticking, and washing takes a fraction of the time. It also adds deep gloss and helps protect against UV fading and chemical etching.

A coating is not bulletproof — it won't stop rock chips or deep scratches — but with proper washing it keeps your car looking freshly detailed for years instead of weeks.

Aftercare & what to expect

  • Cure time: overnight cure recommended. Local customers can drive home after a 1–2 hour cure, then garage-keep the car the first night.
  • First wash: wait at least 1 week before washing.
  • Lifespan: rated up to 9 years (9-year coating) or 2 years (2-year coating) with proper care. Actual life varies with maintenance, washing habits and storage — garage-kept cars last longer than cars parked outside in the sun.
  • Free 30-day inspection: we fix any high spots or missed areas.
  • Maintenance washes: $100 for cars we coated, $120 for cars coated elsewhere.
  • Drop-off only: drop off and pick up at our Concord location (address sent after booking). Cars, SUVs and non-lifted pickup trucks.

Ceramic coating FAQ

How much does ceramic coating cost in Concord, CA?

Ceramic coating starts at $850 for a sedan (2-year coating, no polish). Our 9-year Adams Advanced Graphene coating with a 1-step polish is $1,250 for a sedan or coupe and $1,500 for an SUV or truck. Final price is confirmed after we inspect the vehicle.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Rated up to 9 years (Adams Advanced Graphene) or 2 years (spray coating) with proper care. Actual lifespan depends on maintenance, washing habits and storage.

Should I get the polish?

If your paint has swirls, light scratches or dull spots, yes — the coating locks in whatever is underneath it. The no-polish options are best for new cars or paint that's already been corrected.

Is glass included? What about wheels?

Glass coating is included in every package. Wheels are not included in any package; wheel ceramic coating is a $300 add-on.

Do you offer a warranty?

No formal warranty, since coating life depends on care. Every coating includes a free inspection within 30 days, and maintenance washes are recommended to get the most life from it.

Can you coat over PPF?

Yes. We don't install paint protection film, but we can apply ceramic coating over existing PPF.

Do you come to me?

No — we're drop-off only at our Concord location. The address is sent after booking.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead by call or text for a full refund or to move your deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours or no-shows forfeit the deposit.
