What's included

Preparation is most of the work

Full scope of the Ceramic Coating service

Every ceramic coating service begins with a full inspection and preparation process to ensure proper application and long-term results. Once the surface is properly prepared, coating is applied to painted surfaces, headlights and exterior plastics.

Paint preparation

Preparation is most of the work

Every ceramic coating begins with inspection and full paint preparation. Coating locks in whatever is underneath, so the surface is washed, decontaminated, clayed and corrected before a single drop of coating is applied.

After

  • Inspection & consultation

    Paint depth, oxidation, swirls and defects reviewed with you before any work begins.

  • Full exterior wash

    Hand wash of paint, wheels, tires, jambs and glass to remove loose dirt and road film.

  • Chemical decontamination

    Iron, tar and mineral deposits dissolved so bonded contamination is removed chemically first.

  • Clay bar treatment

    Remaining bonded contamination is mechanically removed to leave a truly smooth surface.

  • Paint correction

    Buffing and polishing to reduce swirls and improve clarity before the coating is locked in.

  • Panel wipe & prep

    All polishing oils are stripped so the coating bonds directly to bare, clean paint.

Coating application

Applied, inspected and cured properly

Coating is applied by hand panel by panel, inspected under dedicated lighting for high spots, then cured before the vehicle is released with maintenance guidance.

FAQs

Questions Anchorage owners ask us

Which package should I choose?

The coating package should match how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how it is stored and how you intend to maintain it. Norman inspects the paint and explains which option makes sense instead of automatically recommending the longest package.

Do I still need to wash the vehicle?

Yes. Coating makes washing easier — it does not remove the need for it. Regular proper washing is what preserves the coating.

How long does the process take?

Most coatings take one to three days depending on the correction required and the cure time for the package selected.

Does it prevent rock chips?

No. Ceramic coating is a chemical protective layer, not an impact barrier. Paint protection film is the option for chip resistance.

Important note

Final pricing depends on vehicle condition. Paint correction, contamination, and surface condition will determine the level of preparation required before coating. All ceramic coating services begin with a consultation to assess the vehicle properly.
