Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds chemically to your vehicle's paint, creating a permanent protective layer. It provides superior hardness (9H), hydrophobic properties, UV protection, and resistance to scratches, chemicals, and environmental contaminants.

Depending on the package, our ceramic coatings are rated for 2–7 years. With proper maintenance, most customers see full performance at the upper end of that range.

Recommended but not always required. Any defects present when the coating is applied will be locked in. We advise at least a one-stage polish before coating on most vehicles.

A coating application takes 1–3 hours. Combined with paint correction prep, the full process can span 1–2 days depending on package selected.

Wait 7 days for the coating to fully cure. After that, hand washing or touchless washes are recommended. Avoid automatic brush car washes — they cause swirl marks.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thick, clear urethane film applied over your vehicle's paint to physically block rock chips, scratches, and road debris. It's the strongest physical protection available for vehicle paint.

Quality PPF installations last 7–10 years. Our film carries a manufacturer's warranty against yellowing, cracking, and bubbling.

Yes — and it's the ultimate combination. PPF provides physical impact protection; ceramic coating adds a hydrophobic top layer that makes the film easier to clean and keeps it looking better longer.

Yes. PPF can be professionally removed without damaging the paint underneath, provided the paint was in good condition at the time of application.

Texas requires a minimum of 25% VLT (visible light transmission) on front side windows. Rear windows and rear side windows can be any darkness. The front windshield may have a tint strip below the AS-1 line. All our installs are fully Texas-legal.

Carbon tint blocks heat and UV without metal, so it won't interfere with signals. Ceramic tint goes further — it blocks more infrared heat (up to 50% IR rejection) with excellent clarity. Ceramic is the premium choice for Texas heat.

Quality carbon and ceramic films last 10+ years without fading or turning purple — a common issue with cheap dyed films that we don't use.

Wait 3–5 days before rolling your windows down to allow the adhesive to fully cure against the glass.
