Our process
Prep is eighty percent of the job
Glasswork works out of two climate controlled bays because temperature and humidity change how a coating flashes and levels. Vehicles are washed, decontaminated, clayed, corrected, and panel wiped before any coating touches them, and the whole sequence is documented with photos. We turn down rush jobs that will not allow a proper cure.
•Paint thickness measured before any correction begins
•Photo documentation of each stage handed over at pickup
•Warranty requires an annual inspection, and we remind you when it is due
Reviews
From coated owners
“Third summer on the five year coating and water still sheets off. The annual inspection caught a spot on the hood before it mattered.”
Andre B., 2022 Model Y
“They told me my paint was too thin for a full correction and did a light polish instead. Another shop would have taken the money.”
Melinda K., used car, repainted panel
“Front end film on a new truck. The edges are wrapped so cleanly you have to be looking for the line to find it.”
Jason H., paint protection film
FAQ
Ceramic coating questions
Does a ceramic coating mean I never have to wash my car?
No, it means washing gets much easier and dirt struggles to bond to the surface. You still need a proper two bucket hand wash every two to four weeks. Skipping washes entirely lets contamination sit on the coating and shortens its life.
Will a coating stop rock chips and scratches?
It resists light marring and chemical etching but it will not stop a rock at highway speed. For chip protection you want paint protection film on the front end, which is a physical layer thick enough to absorb impact. Many customers do film on the front and coating over the whole vehicle.
Why does correction have to happen first?
Ceramic coating is optically clear and bonds for years, so whatever the paint looks like when it goes on is what you will see the entire time. Coating over swirls seals them under a hard layer that is difficult to remove. That is why correction is priced separately and never skipped.
How soon can I drive in the rain?
You can drive immediately but keep it out of rain and sprinklers for about 72 hours while the coating fully cures. Avoid washing for the first week and avoid automatic brush washes permanently. We give you written aftercare at pickup.
