Best Professional Ceramic Coating Installation Service in the Tri-Cities.

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is sprayed or applied by hand to the vehicle which provides a range of benefits to the interior and exterior of the vehicle. It bonds to your clear coat to help protect against the elements, (bugs, bird droppings, water spots, acid rain, sun, snow, etc.) reduces maintenance time, and provides a super high-gloss, hydrophobic “slick” finish that will protect your vehicle‘s paint for years.

While the best ceramic coatings are great protection against light scratches, contamination, and staining, they still have their limitations like any other solid material. A ceramic coating does not protect against deep scratches, impact damage (car accidents), or improper washing methods. 

Note: Here at Mobster Auto Detail we will teach you the Do’s and Don’ts of how to properly maintain your ceramic-coated vehicle.

Ceramic coatings normally require maintenance to keep your vehicle looking its best, as well as to protect the coating from premature failure. Typical ceramic coating maintenance includes a wash with a pH-neutral soap along with our ceramic sealant applied which helps protect the coating longevity and increases shine and gloss.

Yes, you can and should. Whether the vehicle is new from the dealership or has been recently in your possession, you should apply one of the best ceramic coatings to your vehicle sooner rather than later. The best ceramic coatings available provide great long-term protection, preventing damage and loss of value for your vehicle. The best ceramic coatings also enhance gloss and shine. This coating makes washing and maintenance very easy because of the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating. Applying a ceramic coating will prevent paint failure and degradation from the day of your first application.

There are a few factors to consider when choosing the best ceramic coating package such as:

How long will I have my vehicle?
Will the car be kept outdoors or stored in a garage?
How will the vehicle be maintained?
Do I need better visibility in the rain? (for windshield coating)

The cost of the best ceramic coating with Mobster Auto Detail can vary based on several factors starting with the size and condition of the vehicle. Each vehicle has different needs to be addressed during the ceramic coating process. Other factors that go into pricing include the areas selected to be ceramic coated (front glass, full glass, wheels, trim, and/or interior).

As certified professional ceramic coating specialists, we recommend all vehicles receive paint correction or light polishing before any coating is applied. To maintain your warranty and yield the best results, we include a light gloss polish or single-stage correction with the best ceramic coating packages to ensure the best adhesion and longest-lasting results.

Unfortunately, there are even times that brand new vehicles come with defects from the factory or have scratches or even swirls from improper washing techniques from the lack of knowledge or care by dealerships when preparing new vehicles for clients.

It is possible that someone could learn the skills to do a ceramic coating on their own at home,  but we highly recommend not trying to do it. 

What makes the best ceramic coating by a professional different starts with the proper prep work. Skilled technicians decontaminate the paint to completely strip the surface, followed by a paint correction process to remove a small layer of the clear coat for the ceramic coating to have a fresh surface to bond to.

Professionals are trained to install the coating to avoid failure and are trained to use the products in different temperatures and humidity levels. Ceramic coating professionals are also able to inspect it visually and level it properly avoiding high spots. Extensive knowledge and the ability to troubleshoot issues based on a variety of factors is what makes a professional better equipped, creating a longer-lasting bond on your car, truck, or SUV’s surface that just can’t be replicated at home.

Ceramic coatings are harder than your vehicle’s clear coat, providing a layer of protection that will take the impact instead of the paint layer. While the best ceramic coatings offer (9H hardness) and exterior protection, they are not fully resistant to scratches and swirls. In our 10 years of experience, we have learned that there is honestly no coating that can prevent damage from deep scratches and swirls.

However, you can avoid scratches and swirls on your ceramic coating by following proper maintenance routines. This will help avoid spreading dirt along the coating, which causes new scratches, like opting for a hand wash. You can learn more about detailed ceramic coating maintenance in our blog.

Ceramic coating eliminates the need for any additional wax because of the gloss enhancement and hydrophobic properties that it creates.

While most ceramic coatings aren’t able to be waxed,  the manufacturer of our coating has formulated a ceramic coating spray that can boost hydrophobicity and shine while preserving the underlying ceramic coating.
