Frequently Asked Questions — Paint Protection & Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coating packages start at $599 for a 1-year maintenance coating and go up to $2,499+ for our premium lifetime coating with full paint correction. Vehicle size and paint condition are the main factors in final pricing. We offer free consultations to assess your vehicle and recommend the best package for your needs and budget.

Paint protection film starts at $899 for partial front coverage (hood, fenders, mirrors) and ranges up to $7,500+ for full body coverage on larger or exotic vehicles. Full front coverage — our most popular option — starts at $1,499 for sedans. See our complete PPF pricing guide for details.

PPF is a physical urethane film that stops rock chips, scratches, and road debris — actual impact protection. Ceramic coating is a chemical bond that repels water, UV, contaminants, and makes the surface easier to clean. PPF protects against physical damage; ceramic coating protects against environmental and chemical damage. Many clients use both for complete protection.

If your paint has swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, or water spots, paint correction restores the finish to like-new condition. It also restores resale value and creates the ideal surface for ceramic coating or PPF application. For luxury vehicles, the visual transformation is dramatic and well worth the investment.

Yes. We provide mobile ceramic coating, paint correction, and full detailing at your home, office, or garage throughout Kalamazoo, Portage, Mattawan, Schoolcraft, Galesburg, and Texas Township. PPF installation requires a controlled environment — we’ll discuss logistics during your consultation.

Every ceramic coating comes with a dual warranty: the manufacturer’s product warranty (1 year to lifetime depending on package) plus our own written workmanship guarantee. Premium coatings require annual maintenance visits to keep the warranty active — we handle scheduling reminders automatically.

PPF installations carry the manufacturer’s material warranty — up to 10 years for XPEL and SunTek covering yellowing, cracking, blistering, peeling, and delamination. We add our own written workmanship guarantee on top. If our installation causes any issue, we fix it at no cost.

Application takes 1–3 days depending on the package. Essential coatings (no paint correction) can be completed in a single day. Premium and Ultimate packages with paint correction typically span 2–3 days. The coating then needs 24–48 hours to fully cure before exposure to water.

Partial front coverage takes about half a day. Full front coverage takes a full day. Full body installations typically take 2–4 days depending on vehicle complexity. We’ll give you a precise timeline during your consultation.
