Time-Intensive Application: Applying a ceramic coating is a meticulous process that demands significant time investment. On average, a complete ceramic coating installation can take around 10 hours. It may sound astounding, but this time allows for a thorough and precise application, ensuring the utmost protection for your vehicle.
Unparalleled Longevity and Durability: Ceramic coatings stand out as the hardest, most durable, and advanced form of paint protection available. Unlike traditional methods that provide protection for only a few months, ceramic coatings offer years of safeguarding your vehicle’s paintwork from various environmental factors and wear.

To ensure our customers receive the highest quality service, our team has undergone rigorous training for approximately 90 days. We’ve immersed ourselves in reputable paint correction and ceramic coating training, and countless hours of practice followed.

What is a Ceramic Coating?
As detailers, we could delve into the intricate details of ceramic coatings and passionately explain why they’re the 9th wonder of our Outing auto detailing business. However, we know your time is valuable, so let’s keep it simple and engaging!
Think of a ceramic coating as the protective winter coat you put on your kids before they go sledding. It’s like a hyper-durable, tough layer of silicon dioxide (glass) that bonds to your vehicle’s paint, glass, and other surfaces. The results are truly awe-inspiring! Not only does it create an unparalleled rich and glossy appearance for your car’s paint, but a nano ceramic coating is also designed to endure anywhere between 3 and 7+ years, depending on the specific coating you choose.
So, let’s get to the essence of ceramic coatings—they have two important jobs:
- Protection
- Beautification
How does Ceramic Coating Work?
Once the ceramic coating is meticulously applied to your vehicle’s paint, it’s as if your prized possession gains an extra layer of ultra-durable, scratch-resistant, and hydrophobic skin. These ceramic wonders are purposefully designed to shield your car’s paint from all the external elements it encounters, including bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches, and much more. While regular auto detailing services offer temporary protection, ceramic coatings form a robust shield that safeguards your investment until the day you decide to trade it in, leaving more money in your pocket!
Let’s face it, washing and maintaining your car can be both convenient and tiresome. As you’ve invested a significant amount, let’s say $50,000, in your vehicle, it’s disheartening to witness its gradual degradation over time simply because it lacks proper protection. We find it bewildering to spend thousands on a car, leave it unprotected, and eventually trade it in for a fraction of its original value years later.
That’s where our meticulous process comes into play. After the paint has undergone a complete cleaning and decontamination, we meticulously create a smooth surface before expertly applying a thin layer of liquid ceramic coating to the paint. Once applied, it is left to cure, and then, with utmost care, we buff it off until only a thin, yet robust, ceramic layer remains. This thin ceramic coat is then given 24 hours to cure, resulting in a straightforward yet highly effective process that ensures your vehicle’s long-lasting protection.
With our ceramic coating service, you can bid farewell to worries about your car’s appearance and value, as it will be safeguarded with the ultimate defense – the formidable ceramic shield.
