Can you Ceramic Coat a Matte Car?
Yes! Not all ceramic coating applications are high gloss and be used for matte nad satin finishes. We offer a matte finish ceramic coating to protect the exterior of your vehicle the same way as any other. This will not only give you the same level of protection but will ensure your high quality matte finish looks as good as new.
Can you Ceramic Coat over PPF?
Absolutely! By adding a ceramic coating application over your PPF, you can prolong the lifespan of the vinyl. PPF is a great way to protect your vehicles paint but can be damaged by asphalt, tar, and natural saps/adhesives. Ceramic coating’s hydrophobic properties repel these damaging substances and further protects your investments.

Benefits of Professional Detailing vs. Automatic Car Washes
Paint Damage from Automatic Car Washes
- Automatic car washes often use harsh brushes or abrasive materials that can scratch or dull the vehicle’s paint over time.
- High-pressure water jets and low-quality cleaning solutions may not remove all contaminants, leaving residue that can damage the clear coat.
Limited Cleaning Scope
- Automatic washes only clean the exterior and often miss areas like undercarriages, wheels, or intricate trim.
- They don’t address interior cleaning, leaving dirt, dust, and odors untouched.
Risk of Mechanical Damage
- Automatic washes can damage antennas, mirrors, or other exterior components due to their one-size-fits-all approach.
- Vehicles with custom modifications or delicate finishes are especially vulnerable.
Lack of Protection
- Automatic washes don’t apply protective coatings, leaving the paint exposed to environmental damage.
- They often use low-quality soaps that strip existing wax or sealants, reducing paint protection.
Environmental and Quality Concerns:
- Automatic washes may recycle water, which can contain contaminants that redeposit onto your vehicle.
- Professional detailers use eco-friendly products and methods, ensuring a safer and more effective clean.
Interior Ceramic Coating
There are many benefits to applying ceramic coating to your vehicle’s interior. Because ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, cleaning is a breeze. Easily clean dirt and stains and avoid accelerated weathering of leather and upholstery fading.
