Paint Correction

Ceramic coatings are highly durable and can last for several years with proper maintenance. They form a semi-permanent bond with the paint, creating a long-lasting protective layer whereas traditional wax typically lasts for a few weeks to a few months. Depending on the quality and type of wax used frequent reapplication is necessary to maintain protection which can lead to ongoing expenses for professional services or if you would try to do it by yourself for both the product itself and the time required for the application.

The longevity of the ceramic coating depends on several factors, including the quality of the product, the application process, and most importantly how well the ceramic coating is maintained. Since we use only the highest quality professional products - it really goes down to maintenance. Regular and proper maintenance is key to extending the life of a ceramic coating. This includes routine washing with pH-balanced, non-abrasive car wash soaps, avoiding harsh chemicals, automatic car washes, and using the recommended maintenance products provided by the coating manufacturer

We advise our customers to not wash their vehicle for the first two weeks, after the ceramic coating installation.

If your paint is chipping and fading due to clear coat failure, the only option to fix that is a repaint. A ceramic coating will not be able to help.

It’s sad to see how many beautiful cars go through automatic car washes daily here in Johnson City, TN. Most automatic car washes use mechanical brushes, foam strips, or cloth materials to scrub the vehicle's surface. These dirty components will create micro-scratches or swirl marks on the ceramic coating, diminishing its protective properties and aesthetic appeal over time. While automatic car washes can be convenient, especially for quick cleaning, they carry risks that can compromise the integrity and longevity of a ceramic coating. For this reason, we highly recommend avoiding automatic car washes and starting to hand wash them. If hand washing doesn't sound good to you, we have a maintenance option, to take care of it for you!
