PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE
Ceramic coating is a protective, hydrophobic layer applied to your vehicle’s paint, shielding it from UV rays, dirt, water spots, and minor scratches. Unlike traditional wax, ceramic coating bonds with your paint to create a long-lasting, glossy finish that enhances your car’s appearance while making it easier to clean.
This advanced protection helps prevent oxidation, fading, and chemical damage, keeping your vehicle looking newer for longer. Whether you want deep, long-lasting shine or better protection against the elements, ceramic coating is the ultimate solution.
HOW MUCH DOES CERAMIC COATING COST?
The cost of ceramic coating depends on the size of your vehicle, the level of protection desired, and the number of layers applied. High-quality ceramic coatings provide years of durability and shine, making them a smart investment over time.
WHY CHOOSE pdrtx?
The time required for ceramic coating depends on the size of your vehicle, surface condition, and the number of layers applied. A standard ceramic coating application typically takes one to two days, while multi-layer or premium coatings may require additional curing time for maximum durability.
We take the time to properly prep your vehicle by decontaminating and polishing the paint before applying the coating, ensuring flawless adhesion and long-lasting results. For the most accurate turnaround time based on your vehicle, give us a call and we’ll provide a clear timeline.
Avoid THESE COMMON MISTAKES
Falling for Cheap, Low-Quality Coatings
Many cheap coatings wear off quickly, provide minimal protection, and fail to deliver the deep gloss you expect. Low-cost options may seem like a good deal, but they often fade within months, leaving your paint exposed to UV damage, water spots, and scratches. At PDRTX, we use high-quality, professional-grade coatings that last for years—not months.
Trusting Untrained or Inexperienced Installers
Ceramic coating is not a DIY job. Some shops skip surface prep, apply coatings unevenly, or rush the curing process, leading to streaks, poor adhesion, and reduced durability. Our experts properly decontaminate, polish, and prep your vehicle before applying a flawless ceramic coating that bonds to your paint for maximum protection.
Expecting Ceramic Coating to Fix Paint Damage
Ceramic coating is designed to protect and enhance your vehicle’s finish, but it does not fix scratches, swirl marks, or faded paint. Without proper prep work, a coating will only seal in existing flaws. That’s why we correct imperfections first, ensuring your paint is smooth and flawless before applying the coating—so you get the best results possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ceramic coating?
Ceramic coatings are liquid nano-ceramic polymers (often silicon or titanium-based) that chemically bond with the paint’s clear coat to create a hydrophobic, chemical-resistant, and highly glossy surface.
What does a ceramic coating protect against?
- UV damage / oxidation
- Environmental contaminants (acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap)
- Chemical stains
- Easier washing & less staining
- Enhanced gloss and water beading properties
How long do coatings last?
It varies by product and installation quality — from 2 to 10+ years. Premium coatings with multiple layers and proper maintenance often come with multi-year warranties.
Do coatings prevent scratches or rock chips?
No — ceramic coatings are thin (on the order of microns) and not designed for high-impact resistance. They reduce micro-scratches and ease cleaning, but they won’t stop deep scratches or stone chips.
What’s the difference between DIY coating and professional coating?
Professional-grade coatings have higher solids content and longer-lasting bonds; they require proper preparation, controlled environment, and skill to apply. DIY coatings are more forgiving but sacrifice durability and performance.
How do you prepare paint before coating?
We perform thorough preparation: wash, decontaminate (clay bar, iron remover), correct paint (polishing / leveling), wipe-down, inspect, then apply coating. Good prep is essential for bonding and longevity.
Can coatings be applied to glass, wheels, trim, etc.?
Yes — we offer coatings for glass, wheels, plastic trim, and even interior surfaces (fabric, leather) to improve resistance and ease of cleaning.
Can I still wax or seal after coating?
No — with a proper ceramic coating, you should not wax or seal (they cannot bond to the slick coated surface). Instead, use compatible maintenance sprays or boosters designed for ceramic coatings.
How do I maintain a ceramic-coated vehicle?
- Use a pH-neutral car wash soap
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals
- Periodic “top-up” sprays or detailers made for coatings
- Wash every 2–4 weeks (or more often in harsh environments)
- Annual inspection / maintenance to preserve warranty
Will coatings make my car easier to clean?
Yes — you’ll see enhanced hydrophobic behavior (water beading and sheeting), which helps reduce dirt adhesion and make washing easier and safer.
