FAQ
Ceramic Coating Questions
How long does a ceramic coating really last?
We install a professional-grade coating rated for 5 years. Real-world longevity depends on maintenance — proper hand washing and avoiding abrasive automatic washes keeps it performing for its full life.
Does a coated car still need washing?
Yes — a coating is not a force field, it is a barrier. The difference is that dirt, salt, and grime release far more easily, so washes become faster, safer, and less frequent.
Ceramic coating vs. wax — why upgrade?
Wax lasts weeks; a professional ceramic coating lasts years. The coating chemically bonds to the paint, resists UV, salt, and chemicals, and delivers hydrophobic water beading no wax can match.
Will a ceramic coating stop rock chips?
No — chips are physical impact damage, and that is what paint protection film is for. Many clients combine PPF on the front end with ceramic coating over the whole car.
Can you apply a coating at my home?
Yes, when there is a garage or suitable covered space — coatings need controlled conditions to cure properly. Otherwise we schedule it at our North Haven studio.
