Ceramic Coating w/Full Detail & Paint Enhancement
We begin this incredible transformation with our Full Interior & Exterior Detail Package.
Next, we perform a paint enhancement using either a one- or two-step compound and polish, depending on the condition. This will help reduce the appearance of surface swirls, spiderwebs, and shallow scratches.
After these initial steps, we perform a specialized buffing process to open up the paint's pores, ensuring the ceramic coating adheres more deeply and securely.
The ceramic coating is then applied to all painted surfaces, trim/molding, wheel faces, exterior windows & windshield.
The client's driving requirements and habits will reflect the actual ceramic coating we install after our initial consultation. Typically, one of the following:
- "Daily Driver"
- "Road Trip King"
- "Garage Queen"
- "Show Room Classic"
All vehicle sizes: $1100
Estimate 12-14 hours to complete--overnight required.
Note: Prices do not include sales tax.

"Ceramic Coating"...Why?
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with a car's paint to create a durable, protective layer, often made from silicon dioxide (SiOâ‚‚) and sometimes enhanced with titanium dioxide, polysilazane, or nano diamonds. It offers:
- Long-term protection lasting years.
- Defense against UV rays, oxidation, bird droppings, bug stains, and grime.
- Easier maintenance and superior gloss and shine.
- Hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties.
Comparison:
- Ceramic Coating: Excellent chemical/UV protection, lasts 2–5+ years, gives a glossy finish, moderate to high cost.
- Ceramic Spray Sealant: Slickness with Hydrophobic beads, lasts 6-12 mos, gives a glossy finish, usually included in detail, free.
- Wax: Basic protection, lasts 1–3 months, needs frequent reapplication, low cost.
- Paint Protection Film (PPF): Best physical protection, lasts 5–10 years, high cost, often self-healing.
Bottom line: Ceramic coatings provide a long-lasting, glossy, and low-maintenance alternative to wax, with better protection and hydrophobics.

Ceramic Coating & Detail Care Summary
Your vehicle will be meticulously detailed using advanced chemical and mechanical techniques to enhance and protect both interior and exterior finishes.
Ceramic Coating Guidelines:
- The life expectancy of each coating depends on the care and maintenance of the vehicle's paint by the client.
- Glossy Garage Detailing can provide all decontamination and maintenance services for your ceramic coating, along with expert advice on consumer home maintenance products.
- Mechanical soft-touch brush/rag drive-thru tunnel washers are highly ill-advised.
- Touch-free drive-thrus are better, but they use very harsh chemicals that do not remove all traffic film.
- Hand-washing is the most preferred and safest method.
- Allow a minimum 1-hour cure time before driving or exposure to rain/snow.
- Do not hand or pressure wash your vehicle for 7 days after coating installation to ensure full curing and optimal protection.
Windshield Coating Note:
- Remember to use your windshield washer fluid to help clear traffic film on newly applied coatings; otherwise, chattering wipers could form, which may indicate a blade misalignment.
- Please contact me directly if this occurs (563) 528-9236.
Maintenance:
- Instead of using the local Scratch & Swirl Tunnel Washer, schedule a Monthly Maintenance Exterior Hand Wash for $80.
- Add a Quick Interior Refresh for $40 more ($120 total--no matter vehicle size).
- In 6-8 months after a coating installation, you may notice water just sitting on the surface, no longer beading or sheeting away. If this occurs, schedule a Maintenance Coating Decon Wash for $100 to unclog your coating's pores, allowing it to repel water as it did on Day 1.
- Add a Full Interior Refresh for $100 more ($200 total--no matter vehicle size).
