9H ceramic coatings that lock in deep gloss, repel water and road grime, and make every wash faster — applied over a fully corrected paint surface.
Tiers run from 1 year (entry / lease vehicles) up to 8 years (XPEL Fusion Plus over multi-stage paint correction). Real-world durability depends on wash habits and exposure, but our 8-year coatings reliably perform 6–8 years.
No. A ceramic coating is a thin (microns thick) chemical layer that protects against UV, oxidation, swirl marks, and chemical stains, and adds hydrophobicity and gloss. To stop rock chips, add paint protection film (PPF) on the front impact areas.
Ceramic coating pricing depends on the durability tier (1, 3, 5, or 8 year), how much paint correction your vehicle needs, and vehicle size. Use the Instant Estimate tool for a vehicle-specific quote.
Yes. Our 5-year and 8-year tiers include multi-stage paint correction so the coating bonds to perfect paint, not swirl marks. Without correction, a coating just locks in defects.
Wait 7 days before washing. After that, hand-wash only with a pH-neutral shampoo. Skip automatic brush washes — they will not damage the coating but they will dull the gloss over time.
For owners who keep their cars clean and plan to hold them a few years — yes. A coating makes washes faster, repels Atlanta pollen and brake dust, blocks UV that dulls clear coat, and holds a deep gloss for years instead of weeks like wax. It's most worth it on a corrected, well-kept daily driver or weekend car.
9H is the cured hardness rating of a traditional silica (SiO2) ceramic coating — our standard for gloss, slickness, and UV protection. Graphene coatings add a graphene-oxide layer that tends to run cooler in the sun and resist water spotting slightly better. We'll recommend the right chemistry for your vehicle and how you drive it.
