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.

The work that Dan and his team do is done with great detail and attention. They make sure that everything has been done with care and quality craftsmanship. They are not pushy on selling you things you don’t need, they listen to you and provide adequate recommendations. I would recommend going to Detail Tech before looking anywhere else. We have taken three cars there already! Everyone that works there is very kind and polite and cares about what they do. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Detail Tech! I brought my dad’s CTS-V in for an exterior detail and had two other vehicles tinted. The staff was professional, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish. Kevin and Dan are extremely knowledgeable, offer very reasonable pricing, and clearly take pride in their work. Everything turned out fantastic. Highly recommend!
Outstanding quality work and good pricing. I drive an Audi that’s in great condition for its age but has some regular driving wear. They practically got rid of the scratches on my hood and cleaned the rear bumper up wonderfully. My interior looks better now than when I bought the car from the dealership. Overall I am very satisfied.
Kevin, Dan, and all of the guys at Detail Tech did a great job on both mine and my wife’s new vehicles. I got the 10 year ceramic coating on my 2026 Durango GT and had the front windows tinted to match the backs. I would recommend this business to anyone. Their work and professionalism is top notch, and their pricing is definitely fair. Great job guys!
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.
