What it does
Built for upstate winters
01
Road salt and grime slide off
The slick surface makes winter salt and dirt easier to rinse away before they do damage.
02
Deep, lasting gloss
Keeps the just-detailed shine far longer than wax.
03
UV and fade protection
Helps keep paint from oxidizing and dulling in the sun.
04
Faster, easier washes
Water beads and sheets off, so washing and drying take less time.
Straight talk: a coating isn't scratch-proof, and it still needs regular washing. It just makes that washing faster and keeps the paint protected.

How much does ceramic coating cost in Albany?
Ceramic coating starts at $600 for 3 years, $800 for 5 years and $1,000 for 8 years. Final price depends on vehicle size and paint condition.
How long does a coating really last?
Each coating is rated for its years of protection with regular washing and basic care. We'll walk you through that care at hand-back.
Do I need paint correction first?
Only if your paint has swirls or scratches you want gone, since the coating locks in whatever is underneath. We'll check and tell you honestly.
Can I wash it right away?
Give it about a week before the first wash. We'll tell you exactly how long for your coating.
Is it worth it for an older car?
Often, yes, especially before winter. We'll look at the paint and tell you straight whether a coating, a correction or just a good detail makes the most sense.
