Wash & Decontaminate
A full hand wash, then iron and tar removal so nothing is left bonded to the paint.
Long-Term Protection
Ceramic Coating in Sacramento, CA
Years of gloss and easy washing, applied over paint we have corrected first.
Why Coat
Built for Sacramento Sun and Winter Rain
Summer heat and UV fade clear coat fast here, and the winter rain leaves water spots that etch in if they sit. A ceramic coating bonds to the paint and takes that hit instead.
- Deep, glassy gloss that stays
- Water and dirt slide off, so washing takes minutes
- Protection against UV, bird droppings and water spots
The Process
How We Coat Your Car
Inspect
We look at the paint under light and agree on an enhancement or a full correction.
Correct
Machine polishing takes out the swirls and haze the coating would otherwise seal in.
Coat & Cure
The coating goes on panel by panel, then cures before your car goes home.
Correction First
We Rarely Coat Without Correcting
A coating makes paint shine, and it makes every swirl underneath shine too. That is why almost every coating we do starts with a paint enhancement or a paint correction.
On newer paint, a one-step enhancement is often enough. Older or neglected paint gets a full correction first. We tell you which one your car needs before you book.

FAQs
Ceramic Coating FAQs
How long does a ceramic coating last?
We offer two-, three- and five-year coatings. The number is how long that coating is built to last with normal washing and care. Tell us how long you plan to keep the car and we will recommend the one that fits.
Do I need paint correction before a coating?
Almost always. A coating seals in whatever is on the paint, swirls and haze included. Newer paint usually needs a one-step enhancement, and older paint a full correction. We inspect the car and tell you before you book.
Which coating brands do you use?
Gtechniq and Gyeon. They are the products we trust and use on every coating job.
Do coatings cost more for bigger vehicles?
Yes. The two-, three- and five-year coatings are $100 more for crossovers and smaller SUVs and $200 more for large SUVs, minivans and trucks, because there is more paint to coat. The five-year coating with paint enhancement is $899 for sedans and coupes and $999 for SUVs and trucks.
Will you travel for a coating?
Coatings are best done at our shop on 52nd Ave, out of the sun and rain. If a shop visit does not work for you, call and ask. We have driven up to an hour out for coating jobs.
