Over 25 years of detailing experience and 12+ years installing ceramic coatings. Every vehicle is prepped and coated by the owner — no shortcuts, no production-line work.
We don’t rush coating jobs.
While many dealership coatings are installed while you wait, most of our long-term ceramic coating packages require your vehicle for 4–5 full days to ensure proper prep, bonding, and curing.
“Chad and the crew did a fantastic job on my 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8, it was paint corrected and Ceramic coated and looks excellent when they were done. I highly recommend Pristine for all your automotive detailing needs.”

All ceramic coating packages are installed with proper preparation to ensure long-term performance and durability.
Ceramic coatings are designed to protect and enhance your vehicle, but they do not prevent scratches, rock chips, or eliminate all water spotting.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
Every coating we install follows a proven process to ensure proper bonding, durability, and long-term performance.
1. Thorough Wash & Decontamination
We safely wash the vehicle and remove embedded contaminants using iron removal and clay treatment when needed.
2. Surface Preparation
All exterior surfaces are properly prepped to ensure the coating bonds correctly and performs as intended.
3. Machine Polishing (3-Year & 5-Year Packages)
We perform a machine polish to enhance gloss and create the proper surface for coating adhesion.
4. Ceramic Coating Application
The coating is carefully applied to all selected surfaces, including paint, trim, wheels, and glass where applicable.
5. Cure Time & Final Inspection
The vehicle is inspected and allowed proper time to cure before being returned to you.
3-Year and 5-Year coating packages typically require the vehicle for 4–5 full days. This allows for proper preparation, coating application, and curing time — ensuring long-term performance and durability.
We don’t rush coating jobs — the process is what makes the difference.
