What is ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating is a liquid layer that bonds to your paint and hardens. It adds gloss and makes the car easier to keep clean. It does not make paint scratch proof.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
The coating is $600 for a car and $700 for a truck or large SUV. The paint has to be prepped first, and I set the prep tier after a ten minute look at your paint.
| Ceramic coating | Car | Truck, large SUV |
|---|---|---|
| Coating: product, prep wash, application, cure check | $600 | $700 |
| Prep, light: decon and gloss polish, new or near new paint | $250 | $300 |
| Prep, one step correction, most daily drivers | $450 | $525 |
| Prep, two step correction, dark or neglected paint | $750 | $875 |
| Correction on its own, no coating | $450 or $750 | $525 or $875 |
| Yearly decon and top up for coated cars | $125 | $150 |
All in examples: a new car with light prep is $850. A daily driver car with a one step correction is $1,050. A dark truck with a two step correction is $1,575.
Prices last updated November 2026.
Is paint correction included?
Paint prep is always part of a coating, and the tier is the price of that prep. Every quote shows the coating, the prep tier and the total.
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips and scratches?
No. A coating does not stop rock chips, and it does not make paint scratch proof. Paint protection film is the product for rock chips.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
How long a coating lasts depends on the paint, how the car is washed and how it is stored. I'll go over what to expect for your car before you book.
Where is the coating done, and how long do you need the car?
Coatings are done indoors and take about two days. When we book, I'll go over where the work is done and how the car gets there.
How do I wash a coated car?
By hand with pH neutral soap, never in a brush tunnel. My coated car plan is $55 a wash, and the yearly decon and top up is $125 for a car and $150 for a truck.
What product do you use?
I use Artdeshine coating products.
Who installs it?
I do. I spent five years polishing and ceramic coating cars before I started Highbeam Auto Care.
These are cars I polished and coated.
