Professionally Installed Ceramic Coatings in Boulder
What is a Ceramic Coating?
A ceramic coating is a semi-permanent or permanent nano-ceramic layer of protection applied to The various surfaces of a Vehicle: the paint, glass, wheels, trim, etc.
I can go into depth about ceramic coatings and why they are the best protection for your investment. However, that would probably put most people into a slumber they haven’t had since their 5th-period high school class.
In a nutshell, a paint coating is an ultra-durable, scratch resistant, and hydrophobic layer of protection. Coatings act like a sacrificial layer that helps protect your paint from things like bugs, bird droppings, scratches, and swirls.
Imagine a shield of armor protecting the exterior of your vehicle or that thick layer of sunscreen you put on your face to protect against the sun’s rays during Boulder’s gorgeous summers. You can even have the interior of your car, truck, or SUV coated with ceramic protection.

Why Are Professionally Installed Ceramic Coatings So Expensive?
Now that we know what coatings cost, let’s talk about why they are priced the way they are. Three main things drive the cost of getting your vehicle ceramic coated; Time, durability, and skillset.
Time: Professionally installed ceramic coatings take many hours of skilled labor to properly clean and prepare a vehicle’s surface to receive the protective layer. At a minimum, a coating will take eight or more hours to complete and can take up to 3 days. Could you imagine the energy needed to deliver this long of a service?
Durability: Professional ceramic coatings offer the most durable, most resilient paint protection that vehicles can get. Imagine never again having to be in the hot Boulder sun, waxing your car. Instead of protection that may last a few weeks, as you would get from a traditional wax, you can get the protection that spans the lifetime of your vehicle.
Skillset: As installers, we need to know the specific nuances of the ceramic coatings that we apply. We have received extensive training from reputable brands to gain the knowledge and experience required to provide a professionally installed ceramic coating. Ultimately, we are charging for our expertise, and we won’t leave you disappointed.

You can, but you shouldn’t, and here is why. When you use an automatic car wash, whether touch-less, or the one’s with the spinning death strips of cloth, you risk damaging the paint’s coating. Touch-less washes use harsh chemicals that are used to strip dirt and grime, and they will also strip away at your coating. Automatic Car Washes use cloth or brushes at high speeds to clean dirt from your vehicle. These machines are rarely cleaned, and end up grinding everyone else’s dirt into your ceramic coating and scratches it.
We currently service many client’s vehilces which we have protected with professional ceramic coatings. We offer weekly to quarterly maintenance plans to keep your paint’s clear coat and nano-ceramic coating looking and performing it’s best.
