A professional ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle’s paint to create a durable, transparent layer of protection. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that sit on top of the surface and wash away within weeks, a properly applied ceramic coating becomes part of the paint itself – delivering years of measurable protection with minimal maintenance.
The result is a vehicle that resists environmental damage, repels water and contaminants on contact, and maintains the deep gloss and color depth that drew you to the car in the first place.
(Pricing varies by vehicle)
A durable single-layer ceramic coating that creates a hard, glossy shield over your paint. Water spots wipe away easily, and the coating resists everyday wash chemicals and micro-marring for a warm, high-gloss finish that beads and sheets water on contact.
Pricing: Sedan $350 · Midsize SUV $450 · Large SUV $550
Paint correction/polishing not included.
Ideal for leased vehicles, daily drivers on a budget, or as an introduction to ceramic protection.
Our most advanced single-layer coating for gloss, swirl resistance, and contaminant repellency. This optically clear coating chemically bonds to your paint, creating a slick, durable barrier — water, dirt, and road grime sheet off on contact. It resists chemical etching, bird droppings, and bug acids, with improved scratch resistance over uncoated paint.
Pricing: Sedan $600 · Midsize SUV $700 · Large SUV $800
Vehicle must qualify for registration. Paint correction/polishing not included.
Ideal for daily drivers and enthusiasts who want lasting protection without the top-tier commitment.
Combines two complementary ceramic layers for extended durability without sacrificing gloss. A hard, optically clear base layer bonds to your paint while a hydrophobic top layer adds extra resistance to wash chemicals and micro-marring — together extending protection to 5-6 years.
Pricing: Sedan $750 · Midsize SUV $850 · Large SUV $950
Vehicle must qualify for registration. Paint correction/polishing not included.
Ideal for owners who want extended protection without stepping up to our flagship tier.
Our top-tier single ceramic layer — flagship technology with a thicker cure for superior chemical and etch resistance.

Stands up to the strongest wash chemicals and organic contaminants like bird droppings, keeping your paint glossy and protected for 6-8 years.

Whether you have clear or matte paint protection film, a ceramic topcoat extends its life and performance. On matte and satin film, it’s engineered to preserve the flat finish without adding unwanted gloss — you keep the exact look you chose. On clear film, it deepens gloss and makes maintenance easier. Either way, you get the same hydrophobic and contamination resistance as our paint coatings, extending the life of your film investment.
Pricing:Starting at $300. Ask about this at your consultation.
Ideal for PPF or wrap owners who want to extend film life — including matte and satin finishes, where preserving the flat look matters.
We assess your vehicle's condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the right protection tier for how you drive and how long you plan to keep the car.
Before any coating touches your paint, we perform thorough surface correction to remove swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it — we make sure what's underneath is flawless.
Chemical decontamination, clay bar treatment, and IPA wipe-down ensure a completely clean surface for maximum coating adhesion.
Our certified technicians apply each coating layer in a climate-controlled bay with advanced lighting to inspect for complete, even coverage — catching any high spots or missed areas before you ever see the car.
Coatings cure naturally in our climate-controlled bay, followed by a final multi-point inspection under specialty lighting. Your vehicle leaves only when we're satisfied with the result.
Detailed care instructions, recommended wash products, and ongoing support to maximize the life and performance of your coating.
A ceramic-coated vehicle maintains its paint condition, color depth, and overall appearance over time — documented paint protection is a tangible factor buyers and dealers weigh in resale or trade-in value.
Ceramic coating eliminates the need for regular waxing and reduces how often you need to wash your car. Over a multi-year coating's lifespan, the savings in products and detailing time add up significantly.
The hydrophobic surface created by ceramic coating means faster washes, less scrubbing, and a car that stays visibly cleaner between washes — most coated vehicles need only a simple rinse and dry.
UV exposure, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and industrial fallout all damage unprotected paint. A professional ceramic coating creates a barrier against everything the Chicago suburbs throw at your vehicle.
Our factory-trained, certified technicians have applied professional-grade ceramic coatings since 2012, backed by full manufacturer warranty coverage.
We correct your paint before we coat it — removing swirls, scratches, and oxidation first, since a coating locks in whatever condition your paint is in when it's applied.
Our climate-controlled bays and advanced lighting systems ensure complete, even coating coverage with zero high spots or missed areas, every time.
We customize every installation — from coating tier to prep level — based on your vehicle's condition, how you drive, and how long you plan to keep the car.

In most cases, yes. We do it before every install. A ceramic coating locks in whatever is on the surface beneath it — including swirls and scratches. Paint correction removes those imperfections first, so the coating seals in a flawless finish rather than flawed one.
Yes. Our coatings are specifically designed to bond with PPF. Layering ceramic over film deepens the gloss, adds hydrophobic properties, and extends the life of the film.
Pricing varies by vehicle size, paint condition, and the protection tier you choose. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your vehicle.
Wax sits on top of the paint and washes away within weeks. Ceramic coating bonds chemically with the paint at a molecular level, creating a semi-permanent shield that lasts years. It’s harder, more durable, more hydrophobic, and requires far less maintenance.
Regular hand washing with a pH-neutral shampoo is usually all that’s needed. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommended products with every installation.
