1. Paint Sealants (3–12 Months Protection)

Best for affordability, gloss, and easy maintenance.

Paint sealants are synthetic protection layers made from advanced polymers. They offer a bright shine, smooth finish, and strong water beading at a great price point.

Benefits of Paint Sealants:

  • 3–12 months of protection
  • Deep gloss and shine
  • Strong hydrophobic water-beading
  • Shields from UV, sun fade, and light contaminants
  • Affordable alternative to ceramic coatings

Great For:

  • Daily drivers
  • Leased vehicles
  • Clients who want protection without long-term commitment

2. Ceramic Coatings (1–7 Year Protection)

Best for long-term durability, gloss, and resale value.

Ceramic coatings use SiO2 (silica) to bond to your vehicle’s paint, creating a hardened, protective shell. They offer unmatched gloss, deep color enhancement, and long-term defense against environmental damage.

We offer 1-year, 3–4 year, 5-year, and 7-year coating systems, each with different levels of durability and correction.

1-Year Ceramic Coating (Entry Level)

5-Year Ceramic Coating (High Gloss Armor)

For long-term ownership and maximum shine.

3. Graphene Ceramic Coatings (High-Density Carbon Technology)
