Your new vehicle's paint is at its best right now. Lock it in with professional ceramic coating before road debris, UV, and car wash damage take hold. Applied at our Parkville shop.
Most new car owners assume the paint is perfect. It usually is not, and it only gets worse from here.
Most dealer "ceramic coatings" are spray-on sealants applied in 20-30 minutes with no paint inspection, no correction, and no controlled curing. They charge $800-2,000 for a product that lasts months, not years. A professional coating is a different process entirely.
Transport, dealer prep, and PDI (pre-delivery inspection) all introduce defects. Buffer trails from the dealer's detail shop, holograms from improper polishing, wash scratches from lot maintenance. We inspect every panel under dedicated lighting before coating.
Road debris, UV exposure, bird droppings, tree sap, automatic car washes. Every day without protection is a day your paint degrades. The best time to coat a new car is before the damage starts, not after you notice it.
This is why timing matters. If you wait six months, you are coating over six months of damage. If you coat right away, you are locking in the best condition the paint will ever be in. Every week you wait makes the prep work harder and the result less perfect.
You just spent $40,000-100,000 on a vehicle. A $1,450-2,400 ceramic coating protects the finish for years, reduces maintenance time, and helps maintain resale value. It is a fraction of the vehicle cost for years of protection.
The best time to protect a new car is before the first wash, the first road trip, and the first winter. The second best time is today.
New does not mean perfect. Here is what we do before any coating touches your paint.
Every panel inspected under dedicated lighting. New cars frequently have defects from transport, dealer prep, and PDI. We find and document everything before we start.
Full iron removal, clay bar treatment, and chemical decontamination. Even brand-new paint has industrial fallout, rail dust, and contaminants from shipping and lot storage.
New paint can have buffer trails, holograms, or dealer wash scratches. We correct any defects found during inspection so the coating goes over clean, defect-free paint.
Ceramic coating applied in a controlled environment. Proper curing under ideal conditions. Final inspection under lighting. Care instructions reviewed at pickup.
We coat new vehicles of every type. Cars, trucks, SUVs, luxury, performance, and electric.
Same professional packages, same pricing. New cars get a paint inspection and light correction before coating, just like every vehicle we work on.
Painted surfaces only. Ideal for new vehicles in excellent condition that want entry-level ceramic protection.
Full exterior. Paint, glass, trim, wheels, lights. The right choice for most new vehicles.
Every surface. Wheels removed and coated inside and out. Calipers, exhaust tips, full panel-by-panel correction.

Dealer coatings are not inherently bad, but they are a fundamentally different product and process. If your dealer quoted you $1,500 for a "ceramic coating" done same-day, it is worth understanding what that actually includes.
