Ceramic coating has revolutionized the car care industry, offering unparalleled protection and a sleek, enduring shine that elevates the aesthetic appeal of any vehicle. As a car detailing service, integrating ceramic coating into your offerings not only enhances your service portfolio but also provides our Chanhassen customers with a premium, long-lasting solution for maintaining their vehicle’s appearance.
A car ceramic coating is a chemical polymer that can be applied to the outside of a car to protect it from paint damage.
Depending on the kind of polymer used, the coating may be semi-permanent or permanent. The chemicals used are such that extreme weather conditions cannot tamper with the coating.
When you take anything that has chemical compounds, you are looking at a very resilient solution. The same goes for ceramic coating, which can be permanent, once applied, and easy to maintain at the same time.
Protects the vehicle from damage from oxidation or ultraviolet radiation
Exposure to constant sunlight will cause the external paint of a car to oxidize, giving rise to a faded or dulled appearance. A ceramic car coating protects the exterior car paint, reduces oxidation, and keeps the exterior paint lasting longer.
Natural acidic contaminants in our environment can potentially damage your vehicle’s exterior. Ceramic car coating provides a more resilient layer to your vehicle, allowing it to withstand etching or stains from these chemical contaminants, provided they are removed as soon as possible.
The sun's ultraviolet rays can cause paint to oxidize and fade over time. Ceramic coatings protect a vehicle’s paint from the sun's harsh rays, thereby reducing the risk of oxidization.
One of the most noteworthy features of ceramic coatings is their hydrophobic (water-repellent) quality. This means water beads up and rolls off the surface, picking up dirt and grime along the way. This self-cleaning property makes regular car washing easier and more efficient.
Everyday contaminants like acid rain, bird droppings, and tree sap can mar a vehicle's exterior. Ceramic coatings create a chemically resistant surface, ensuring that such contaminants can be easily washed away without leaving stains.
Unlike traditional waxes that need to be reapplied every few months, ceramic coatings are incredibly durable. They don’t wear off under normal atmospheric conditions, providing protection that can last for years.
Ceramic coating enhances the depth and clarity of the car’s paint, giving it a constant 'just-washed' glossy finish. This sheen is much coveted by car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
* – Paint correction not included in starter pricing.
Pricing for all packages is dependent on level of polishing/ paint correction and size of vehicle.
The application of ceramic coating involves thorough preparation and precision. Initially, the vehicle undergoes a detailed wash and paint correction process to remove any imperfections. Once the surface is prepped, the ceramic coating is meticulously applied, layer by layer, to ensure an even coat.
This process not only demands time and expertise but also a controlled environment to ensure the coating bonds properly to the car’s surface. The curing process can take up to 48 hours, during which the vehicle needs to be protected from the elements.
Ceramic coating is a revolutionary product in the world of automotive detailing, providing unbeatable protection and a superior finish. It’s an investment in the longevity and beauty of a vehicle.

The process of Ceramic Coating can take between 1-5 days depending on the condition of your paint, the size of the vehicle and the packages you select. The 1st step is to wash and prep the vehicle. The 2nd step is to correct all the imperfections in the paint such as swirls and scratches. Once the vehicle is properly prepped, a body shop safe prep solvent will be applied to the entire vehicle to get to bare paint. At this stage the coating process will begin, and each panel of the vehicle will have Ceramic Coating applied, leveled, and stacked to achieve the package you have selected.

Yes. To maintain your warranty, you need to attend an annual service. This is to ensure the Ceramic Coating performs properly for the entire length of the warranty. If an annual inspection is missed, the warranty defaults to the lesser package at the time of the missed annual inspection. i.e. A Gold (Lifetime) warranty becomes a Silver (5 year) warranty when an annual service is missed. This also depends on the Ceramic Coating used and the program chosen.
You should wait 10-14 days before the 1st wash to allow the solvents to outgas and the coating to fully cure. If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, tree sap etc. during these two weeks immediately remove it following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is softer so work on the paint very gently.
