Why Houston Car Owners Choose Nano-Ceramic Technology

Hydrophobic Surface
Water and Houston road grime slide off instantly. Washing your car becomes 10x easier.
UV Resistance
Stops paint oxidation and fading from the brutal Texas sun.
Chemical Resistance
Protect your clear coat from acidic bird droppings, tree sap, and Houston road salt.
Resale Value
A documented ceramic coating installation increases the long-term value of your vehicle.
Our Precision Multi-Step Installation Process
Hand Wash
We perform a thorough hand wash on your vehicle including cleaning your wheels & tires.
Decontamination
Using iron removal and clay bar to remove embedded contaminants stuck to your paint that a typical hand wash would not remove.
Paint Correction
We perform a single stage or multi-stage machine polish to remove swirl marks and light scratches.
Surface Prep
A professional IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) wipe down to ensure a 100% sterile surface for the coating to bond to the paint.
Precision Application
Hand-applied layers to every panel of your vehicle for complete, even coverage.
Tire Shine Application
We dress your tires in our non-sling tire shine for a nice finish without the mess.

Ceramic Coating FAQ
Is ceramic coating worth it for a new car? +
Yes! Applying a coating to a new vehicle locks in the factory finish and prevents damage before it starts. It's the best time to protect your investment.
How do I maintain my ceramic coating in Houston? +
Regular hand washes (avoid automatic car washes), use pH-neutral soaps, and schedule a maintenance wash every 2–4 weeks. Our membership plans make this effortless.
Does ceramic coating protect from rock chips? +
Ceramic coatings protect against chemical damage, UV, and minor scratches — but they are not designed to prevent rock chips. For that, we recommend Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Will I still have to wax my car? +
No! A ceramic coating eliminates the need for waxing entirely. The coating provides a permanent gloss and protection layer that far exceeds any wax.
How much does a ceramic coating cost? +
Pricing is based on vehicle size: Coupe $600, Sedan $800, Small SUV $1,000, Midsize SUV $1,100, Minivans $1,100, Truck $1,200, Large SUV $1,500. Every package includes full decontamination, paint correction, IPA surface prep, and hand-applied ceramic coating.
Can I get a ceramic coating done at my house? +
Absolutely! We're a fully mobile operation. We bring everything we need — water, electricity, tools — directly to your driveway, garage, or office parking lot.
How long does a ceramic coating take to install? +
A full ceramic coating installation typically takes 4–8 hours depending on the package and vehicle condition. The coating needs 24–48 hours to fully cure.
Does a ceramic coating come with a warranty? +
Yes! Our 1-year package includes a 12-month warranty, 3-year package includes a 3-year warranty, and our 5-year package comes with a lifetime warranty.
How long does ceramic coating last in Houston? +
With proper maintenance, our coatings last 1–5+ years depending on the package selected. Houston's climate makes professional-grade coatings essential — consumer-grade products won't hold up to the heat and humidity.
