Why coat your car in Arizona
Protection built for the desert
UV & heat protection
Our sun fades and oxidizes paint and trim fast. A coating adds a hard, UV-resistant layer on top of your clear coat.
Dust & hard-water spots
Coated paint is slick and hydrophobic, so dust rinses off and water beads instead of drying into mineral spots.
Easier washing
Bugs, brake dust and grime release faster, so maintenance washes take less time and less scrubbing.
Deep, glossy finish
Because we correct the paint first, the coating locks in a clear, reflective finish instead of locking in swirls.
What’s included
How our ceramic coating process works
- 01
Paint inspection
We look over the paint with you and agree on the coating tier and the level of correction it needs.
- 02
Foam bath & hand wash
A paint-safe wash to lift dirt before anything touches the surface.
- 03
Decontamination
Clay and iron removal pull out bonded contaminants so the coating can bond directly to clean paint.
- 04
Paint correction
Machine polishing removes swirls and light scratches so the finish under the coating is as clear as possible.
- 05
Coating application
The coating is applied panel by panel, leveled, and left to cure.
- 06
Final walkthrough & aftercare
We check every panel with you and explain how to wash and maintain the coating.

Reviews
What customers say
★★★★★Aidan is exceptional! He is very thorough, meticulous, and professional. We highly recommend using him. You will be greatly surprised at the work he does.
★★★★★Aidan completely detailed my Nissan which wasn't cleaned in 2 years. When he was done it smelled and looked brand new inside and out. 10/10 will be using this service again in the future whenever I need to have my vehicle detailed.
★★★★★A neighbor had Aidan detail his vehicle and was really happy with the work he did. Since I can no longer do it myself and really didn't want to get a quickie wash and wax from a local car wash I had Aidan come out to my place and do a complete detail. He spent the afternoon with my truck and it looks brand new again. I'd absolutely recommend Aidan to anyone that wants their vehicle detailed.
FAQ
Ceramic coating questions
How long does a ceramic coating last in Arizona?
We offer 2-year, 5-year and 7-year coatings. The 7-year layers two coatings for the most protection. How long it lasts also depends on proper washing and where the car is parked.
Do you polish the paint before coating it?
Yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so every ceramic coating starts with a full wash, decontamination and paint correction to remove swirls before the coating goes on.
Can you ceramic coat my car at my house?
Yes. Ceramic coating is done on-site at your home or office anywhere in the Greater Phoenix area. Plan on most of a day for the full process.
Do you coat wheels and glass too?
Yes. Wheels, calipers and exhaust tips (+$150) and glass (+$125) can be added to any coating package.
How do I wash a ceramic coated car?
Hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and clean microfiber, avoid automatic brush car washes, and dry with a soft towel or blower. We go over aftercare with you when we hand the car back.
