What it is

A LIQUID GLASS SHIELD WITH A
DEEPER, WETTER GLOSS.

A ceramic coating is a semi-permanent layer of silica that chemically bonds to your clear coat. It is not a wax that sits on top and washes away in six weeks. Once it cures it becomes part of the surface.

What you notice first is the look. Correct the paint, then coat it, and the finish gains depth that a wax cannot produce. Dark colors especially go from flat to wet.

What you notice for the next several years is the maintenance. Water beads and rolls off instead of sheeting and drying into spots. Salt, sap and brake dust sit on the surface instead of bonding to it, so a wash takes half the time.

Every package covers paint, wheels, glass and trim, not just the panels. And every package is insurance-backed, registered to your VIN and recorded with CARFAX, which is something no other shop in Union County can say. We use Owner’s Pride coatings and have done for years.

What every package includes

  • Paint, wheels, glass and trim all coated
  • Hand wash, claybar and iron decontamination first
  • Insurance-backed warranty of 3, 5, 7 or 9 years
  • Up to $5,000 in claims, no deductible
  • Registered to your VIN and recorded with CARFAX

  • Transferable to a new owner within the warranty period

The payoff

THE DIFFERENCE YOU WILL
ACTUALLY SEE AND FEEL.

Years of protection in one install

A wax lasts weeks and a sealant lasts months. A properly installed ceramic coating is measured in years, and ours is warranted for it.

Extreme hydrophobic behavior

Water pulls into tight beads and leaves the panel on its own. Less standing water means far fewer water spots to deal with.

UV and chemical resistance

The silica layer takes the UV load and resists the acids in bug residue, sap and bird droppings that etch bare clear coat.

A visibly deeper, glossier finish

Coating corrected paint adds a wet depth that photographs differently. It is the part owners notice every time they walk up to the car.

What we shield you from

EVERY THREAT YOUR FINISH
FACES, NEUTRALIZED.

UV oxidation and fade

Years of sun chalk a finish and flatten the color, reds and dark blues first. The coating carries the UV load instead.

Bird droppings and bug acid

Acidic enough to etch a permanent ring into bare clear coat in an afternoon of sun. On a coating they sit on the surface.

Hard water spots

Sprinkler overspray and mineral-heavy water leave deposits that bond to bare paint. The coating gives them nothing to hold.

Road salt and brine

NJ salts hard from November on. Brine bonds to uncoated paint and works at it all winter. Coated, it rinses off.

Brake dust and road grime

Hot metallic brake dust embeds into bare clear coat. The coating keeps it on the surface where a wash removes it.

Light wash-induced swirls

The coating is harder than your clear coat, so routine washing marks it far less than it would mark bare paint.

The process

HOW A CERAMIC COATING INSTALL GOES.

Decontamination and inspection

Two-bucket wash, iron decon and clay, then we walk the paint under inspection lighting and measure what we are working with.

Paint correction

Machine polishing to remove swirls, etching and haze. A coating locks in whatever is underneath, so this is where the gloss is actually made.

Surface prep wipe

A full alcohol wipe strips every polishing oil off the panel. Skip this and the coating bonds to residue instead of paint.

Coating application

Owner’s Pride applied panel by panel in a controlled bay, levelled by hand, and checked under light for high spots.

Cure and handover

The coating cures indoors before the car leaves. We register the warranty to your VIN, record it with CARFAX, and cover the first week.

Who it suits

PERFECT FOR THE WAY
YOU ACTUALLY DRIVE.

Brand new vehicles

Least correction needed, best possible result. Coating a car before the first automatic wash is the ideal case.

Cars that already have PPF

Coating over film keeps the film slick and easy to wash and adds gloss. The two are designed to be stacked.

Daily drivers through NJ winters

Salt, brine and sand from November to March is the hardest thing our climate does to paint. This is the cheapest defense against it.

Show cars and weekend drivers

Maximum gloss with minimum handling. The car looks its best with far less time spent on it.

Aftercare

KEEP IT LOOKING LIKE
THE DAY WE DELIVERED IT.

First 7 days

The coating is hard when it leaves but keeps curing for about a week. Keep it dry for the first 24 hours and out of the rain where you can.

Routine washing

pH neutral shampoo, two buckets, clean microfiber mitt, top down. No wax and no all-in-one products, which just sit on top of the coating.

Boost spray quarterly

A ceramic-compatible topper every few months keeps the beading sharp and extends the life of the base layer.

Drying

Blow dry or use a clean drying towel. Standing water is where spots come from, and a coating sheds water faster than you expect.

Avoid brush washes

Touchless is fine. Brush tunnels drag grit across the coating and will eventually mark it, the same as they mark paint.

Annual inspection

Not required, but recommended. Bring it in once a year and we check coverage, decontaminate, and log it against your VIN.

“Extremely happy with final results of the Ceramic Coating Premier did on my 2025 Honda Pilot. From the start, Andre and Jay showed their extensive knowledge of the products used and the process of the work they do. Without ANY hesitation I would recommend them to anyone.”

Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED.

How long does a ceramic coating actually last?

Between three and nine years depending on the package, the prep underneath, and how the car is washed. Ours is warranted for its full term rather than estimated.

Do I still need to wash the car?

Yes, but far less often and much faster. Dirt does not bond the way it does to bare paint, so most of it comes off with a rinse and a light wash.

Should I put ceramic coating on top of PPF?

It is the most common combination we install. Film handles impact, coating handles gloss and cleaning. They are designed to work together.

What is the difference between wax, sealant and ceramic?

Wax sits on the surface and lasts weeks. Sealant is synthetic and lasts months. A ceramic coating bonds chemically to the clear coat and lasts years.

Will a coating remove existing scratches and swirls?

No. It seals in whatever is underneath, which is why correction comes first. Coating uncorrected paint locks the swirls in and makes them more visible.

What does the insurance-backed warranty actually cover?

Up to $5,000 in claims with no deductible, covering bird waste, tree sap, road salt, bug etching and UV fade. It is registered to your VIN and recorded with CARFAX.

How long does the install take?

Two to four days depending on the package and how much correction the paint needs. The coating has to cure indoors before the car goes back out.

Can a coating be removed if I want to start over?

Yes. It is machine polished off, which also gives you a fresh correction. Most owners simply re-coat when the term is up.
