Ceramic coating bonds to your paint and hardens into a slick, hydrophobic shield. Water beads off, dirt stops sticking, and washing gets easy. We are a certified System X installer, and every coating starts with a full premium exterior wash to prep the paint.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint and cures into a hard, clear layer. It is not a wax that washes off in a month. It is a long-term shield that beads water, resists dirt and brake dust, blocks UV fade, and holds a deep gloss for years. The result is easier washing and paint that stays sharp far longer.
A coating is not just about shine. It shields your paint from the things that age it, and it protects what your vehicle is worth. A well-maintained, coated finish looks newer for longer, which can raise your value on CarFax when it is time to sell or trade.
Every coating includes a full premium exterior wash to prep the paint, and comes in four levels of paint correction. Choose your durability, then your finish. Estimated 8 hours.

Your paint is not the only thing worth protecting. Add System X coatings to the parts that take the most abuse, for protection that lasts and upkeep that gets easier.
Protect your wheels from brake dust, road grime, and corrosion with a professional System X wheel coating. All wheels are removed and reinstalled to ensure safe, precise application. The coating forms a durable, hydrophobic, chemical-resistant layer that helps prevent buildup, corrosion, and damage from harsh road conditions, so your wheels stay clean and vibrant with minimal maintenance.
Protect your vehicle’s glass with a professional full-glass System X coating, applied to all windows and glass surfaces. It guards against water spots, hard water stains, dirt, and light scratches. The hydrophobic properties cause water, grime, and debris to bead and slide off easily, improving visibility in all weather and making glass maintenance simpler. Durable and optically clear, it preserves the clarity and performance of your glass while adding to driving safety and comfort.
Protect your interior surfaces with System X Interior Coating. This advanced coating creates a durable, invisible barrier on dashboards, trim, and other surfaces, guarding against dirt, stains, UV fading, and everyday wear. It repels dust, liquids, and grime, making cleaning easier while maintaining the factory appearance and texture of your interior, so your cabin looks newer for longer.
We are a certified System X installer, so every coating is applied to spec and backed by a real warranty. System X bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hydrophobic, chemical-resistant layer that beads water, fights contaminants, and holds its gloss for years. Because we prep and correct the paint first, the coating locks in a clean finish instead of sealing over damage.

Outstanding customer service. Had my wife’s new car wrapped and ceramic coated. Looks fantastic. They did a great job. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend them for any detailing services.
Kevin patiently, thoroughly, and clearly reviewed the protection options for our new vehicle in a no pressure manner. We opted for full vehicle application of PPF followed by ceramic coating and an interior protection application. Our specific requests, including a delayed pick up, were accommodated. When we picked up the vehicle yesterday, it looked amazing! We are extremely happy with our decision and definitely feel it was money well spent. Additionally, it was nice to deal with a business that kept us updated, followed through on everything they said, and we didn’t need to have anything redone.
Amazing work by these fellas. I had them do my car first. They did such a good job, I sent them over my wife’s car too. We trusted them with both our brand new EVs (2026 Tesla Model Y and 2025 Chevy Blazer EV). They installed front PPF, applied ceramic, and tinted our windows. We called around other places nearby including some really big names but after speaking with Kevin and Dan, these fellas know what they’re doing. I’d definitely recommend this place and will take my cars here again.
I cannot say enough good things about Detail Tech and the ceramic coating they did on my Ford F150. From the moment I picked it up, the truck looked better than brand new, the shine, depth, and attention to detail were absolutely incredible. You can tell they truly take pride in their work and care about doing the job right.
Depends on the package. Our System X coatings come in 3-year, 6-year, and 10-year options, and the 10-year Max G+ carries a lifetime warranty with proper maintenance. Revivify runs up to 5 years.
They are levels of paint correction before the coating goes on. Standard is direct application with no correction, Premium adds a 1-step enhancement, Elite adds a 2-step correction, and Signature is a multi-step correction for a true showroom finish.
A coating locks in whatever is underneath, so correcting swirls and scratches first is what gives you that deep, flawless gloss. Newer vehicles in great shape can go with the Standard tier.
A self-healing, silicon-based coating that heals minor scratches and swirls, more like paint protection film than traditional ceramic. It is warrantied up to 5 years and helps boost your CarFax.
Yes. We offer System X wheel, glass, and interior coatings as add-ons for full protection.
A lot easier. Water and dirt bead up and slide off, so washes are quicker and your paint stays cleaner between them.
Tell us about your vehicle, and we’ll quickly send you a fair offer. No pressure, no hassle.
