Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coating in Watkinsville and Athens, GA, from a System X certified installer.

A ceramic coating bonds to your paint and adds a durable, glossy layer of protection that makes every wash easier. Every install starts with proper preparation, because a coating is only as good as the surface it's bonded to.

What a coating does

  • Hydrophobic

    Water beads and sheets off, carrying dirt with it.

  • UV resistance

    Helps protect paint against fading and oxidation from the Georgia sun.

  • Chemical resistance

    Added defense against bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap and road film.

  • Easier maintenance

    Dirt has a harder time sticking, so washes are quicker and safer for the paint.

  • Gloss and depth

    A slick, glassy finish that makes color look richer.

  • Lasting protection

    A durable layer between your paint and the elements.

What a coating won't do

A ceramic coating won't stop rock chips, deep scratches or door dings, and it doesn't replace regular washing. Paint protection film is the right tool for impact protection. We'll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.

How we install a coating

  1. Inspect

    We look over the paint with you and talk through your goals.

  2. Wash and decontaminate

    Iron fallout, tar and bonded contaminants are removed.

  3. Correct

    Paint correction when required, so swirls and defects aren't locked in under the coating.

  4. Prep

    Panels are wiped down so the coating bonds directly to clean paint.

  5. Coat

    The System X coating is applied and leveled panel by panel.

  6. Cure and aftercare

    We walk you through cure time and how to wash a coated vehicle.
