What it is

What Ceramic Coating does for your vehicle.

Here is the question most car owners never get answered straight: what is actually protecting your paint right now? If the answer is wax or a dealer sealant, it washed off months ago. A ceramic coating is a liquid nano-ceramic that chemically bonds with your paint at the molecular level. It fills the microscopic pores in the clear coat and cures into a hard, long-lasting layer that becomes part of the surface, not a film sitting on top of it.

Our coating builds a glass-hard, 9H-rated finish from silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide, and it can be layered for additional thickness and hardness. The result is a deep, glossy surface that beads water, sheds dirt, resists chemical etching, and shrugs off the UV that fades and oxidizes unprotected paint under the Texas sun.

A coating is only ever as good as the surface it bonds to. Every defect under it is sealed in for the life of the coating, which is why a true ceramic coating is never a stand-alone product. It is the final step on a prepared, corrected, decontaminated surface — and it is why we will not cut that prep to hit a price.

Coating Packages

Coating packages, matched to how long you keep the car

Our ceramic coating is a tiered system, not a single product. Each package layers protection across paint, wheels, glass and trim, and each carries its own multi-year warranty. We walk you through which tier fits your vehicle, your climate exposure, and how long you plan to own the car — so you pay for the protection you will actually use.

  1. 1-Year Package

    1-year warranty · from $500

    Genuine ceramic protection for daily drivers who want a real upgrade over wax.

    • A single layer of professional ceramic coating
    • Hydrophobic, faster-to-wash finish
    • Added gloss and UV resistance over bare paint
    • 1-year protection warranty

  2. 3-Year Package

    3-year warranty · from $1,150

    Whole-vehicle coverage for owners who want layered, warranted protection that lasts.

    • Ceramic coating applied to paint, wheels, glass and trim
    • A layered system with a protective top coat
    • Strong hydrophobic, self-cleaning behavior
    • 3-year protection warranty with annual inspections

  3. 5-Year Package Flagship

    5-year warranty · from $1,550

    The flagship. Multiple stacked layers and the longest protection we offer.

    • Multiple stacked layers of 9H ceramic plus a top coat
    • 9H on wheel faces and plastics, hydrophobic glass treatment
    • Maximum gloss, hardness and chemical resistance
    • 5-year protection warranty with annual inspections

The 3 and 5-year packages require an annual inspection at our studio to keep the warranty in force. We track that schedule with you, so the coverage you paid for never lapses by accident.

Why it matters

What Ceramic delivers.

  • Deep, hard gloss

    A glass-like clarity and depth that a wax cannot reach, locked in rather than topped up every few weeks.

  • Hydrophobic surface

    Water sheets off and carries dirt with it. Washing gets faster and the paint stays cleaner between washes.

  • UV and oxidation defense

    A genuine barrier against the intense DFW sun that fades, dulls and oxidizes unprotected clear coat.

  • Chemical resistance

    Bird droppings, bug acids, sap and water spots have far less chance to etch into a coated surface.

  • Easier maintenance

    Contaminants sit on top of the coating instead of bonding to porous paint, so upkeep stays simple for years.

  • Warranty-backed

    The 1, 3 and 5-year packages each carry a written protection warranty when kept to the inspection schedule.

How it works

Four steps. One threshold.

  1. Vehicle inspection

    We read your paint, document its condition, and walk you through exactly what the work will include — nothing padded, nothing assumed.

  2. Surface preparation

    Decontamination, clay treatment and a thorough wash bring the surface genuinely clean before a single product goes near it.

  3. Ceramic Coating install

    Your ceramic coating goes on with professional-grade products in a controlled studio bay, finished by hand to the threshold every Protektd vehicle is held to.

  4. Final inspection

    Every panel is checked against one standard. If anything falls short of it, the vehicle goes back on the bench before it goes back to you.

The 100% standard

A coating is long-lasting and bonds for years, so the preparation underneath it has to be perfect. We will not coat over swirls, etching or contamination, because that locks the flaw in for the life of the coating. Every vehicle is corrected, decontaminated and inspected before a single layer goes down, and inspected again before it leaves. That is the 100% standard applied to a product you cannot simply redo.

Common questions

Ceramic Coating, answered.

How long does ceramic coating last on a car?

We offer ceramic coatings in 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year packages, each backed by a warranty for that term when the coating is kept to its maintenance schedule. A coating is long-lasting, not permanent, and it does not self-heal the way PPF does. During your quote we walk you through which package fits your vehicle.

Is ceramic coating worth it in Dallas heat?

Yes, especially in DFW's climate. Ceramic coatings provide UV protection that prevents oxidation and fading from the intense Texas sun, while the hydrophobic surface makes washing after dust storms far easier.

Can I apply ceramic coating myself?

You can, but professional installation on a properly paint-corrected surface will last significantly longer and look better. The products we use are installer-grade formulations not available to consumers.

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

Ceramic coating adds surface hardness (rated 9H for hardness) and reduces fine swirl marks from washing, but it is not scratch-proof. For true scratch and rock chip protection, paint protection film is the right choice.
