CERAMIC COATING

Services

CERAMIC COATING can be applied on a vehicle’s paint, wrap, windows, wheels, brake calipers, and even the interior surfaces!

Ceramic coating is a NANO-LIQUID POLYMER that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s surface, providing an enhanced finish, a layer of protection, and water beading properties.

BENEFITS OF CERAMIC COATING

UV PROTECTION
Remember the last car you saw with fading clear coat and paint damage? Ceramic coating adds a UV protective layer to your clear coat, significantly reducing the speed of paint fading and aging over time.
INCREASED SCRATCH RESISTANCE
Ceramic coating increases the hardness and strength of a paint’s clear coat - meaning more force would be required to make a mark in the vehicle's paint. The long term result: your car will have less swirl marks and light scratches over time compared to a non-ceramic coated vehicle in the same conditions
ENHANCED GLOSS FINISH
Ceramic coating fills in the pores of paint and has an ultra-glossy, mirror-like finish. Ceramic coating can also be applied on matte/satin/flat finishes without affecting matte levels.
REPELS DIRT AND WATER
Ceramic coating has ultra-slick, hydrophobic properties. This means your paint will bead water, and dirt will form a weaker bond to your car’s paint. The end result: your car stays cleaner for longer, and is much easier to clean. Contaminants that would normally bond to your paint are easier to remove.

THE LEADING CHOICE FOR CERAMIC COATING IN VANCOUVER

CARFAX APPROVED WARRANTY

A proper professional grade coating should come with a warranty system. We have different packages and products available, (ranging from 3 year warranties to lifetime warranties) and every coating is reported to Carfax. When it is time to sell your car and a potential buyer checks your VIN number to see your vehicle’s history – documentation of your ceramic coating will show, proving you have commissioned thorough and professional care on your vehicle’s paintwork.

MULTIPLE PACKAGES AVAILABLE

Different packages are available to fit your needs for longevity and coating coverage!

HIGHEST GRADE COATINGS ONLY

The only coatings we use are professional grade coatings that are 100% formulated and made in the US. These coatings are not accessible to the public, and are NOT the same DIY coatings sold on Amazon or in department stores. Professional grade coatings are much more concentrated, require certifications, and require advanced techniques to install. At DRX Auto, you can be assured that any ceramic coating we apply will form a strong bond to your vehicle’s paintwork & offer results that outperform competitors.

FAQS

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Depending on the condition of your vehicle’s paint, and the package you choose, the application process can take anywhere from 2-3 days.

Our certified technicians begin providing your vehicle with a full luxury hand Car Detailing wash to remove any fillers and waxes. From there, we inspect your vehicle for paint imperfections such as minor scratches, swirls and etches. We polish those out and complete a final wash and dry prior to applying it.

We apply System X Ceramic Coat, and then begin the application. Between every layer of coating, we let the vehicle cure. After the final coat is applied, our technicians inspect the vehicle one last time with special lights to ensure there are no high spots.

MY CAR HAS SCRATCHES AND OTHER PRE-EXISTING DAMAGE. CAN CERAMIC COATING BE APPLIED OVER THIS?

We recommend that scratches and pre-existing damage be repaired with a Paint Correction before the Ceramic Coating application. Although it can be applied over scratches etc, it is not ideal.

 

Applying it over damaged or scratched areas will seal the damage in, and make it harder to repair later.

IS CERAMIC COATING AN ALTERNATIVE TO WAX?

Yes, once it is applied, you won’t have to polish or wax your vehicle again. You can clean your vehicle easily using cleaners, and achieve a newer vehicle clean without all of the time and work of polishing and waxing.

IS IT SAFE FOR MY CLEAR COAT?

Yes, Ceramic coating was designed for surfaces such as your vehicle’s paint. It has a line-up of specific formulas designed for windshields, vinyl, leather etc. for best results. Will not void any manufacturer’s warranty you have on your vehicle.

CAN CERAMIC COATING PROTECT MY VINYL/WRAP?

Yes, will protect your vinyl/wrap from UV rays, chemicals and stains. It is formulated to be self-cleaning, and will make your vehicle easier to maintain as a result.

 

WILL CERAMIC COATING PROTECT ME FROM ROCK CHIPS?

Yes, once applied, is 3 times harder than your clearcoat, so while it doesn’t provide 100% protection, it will be more durable than your clear coat alone. Consider a combination of PPF and Ceramic Coating for superior protection against rock chips.

 

HOW LONG DOES THE CERAMIC COAT LAST?

Depending on the package that you purchase, could be a permanent solution.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AFTER THE CERAMIC COAT IS APPLIED?

You can wash your vehicle as you would normally. However, if you go to automatic car washes, we recommend TOUCHLESS car washes.

 

Car washes with brushes often will have dirt and debris in the bristles which will create swirls and scratches, even on harder surfaces. We also recommend bringing your vehicle in for an annual inspection.

DO I STILL NEED TO WAX MY CAR AFTER I HAVE THE CERAMIC COAT APPLIED?

No, ceramic coating replaces the need for wax.

DO I NEED AN ANNUAL SERVICE?

Although an annual service is not required, we recommend bringing your vehicle in for an annual inspection so that our certified technicians can ensure your ceramic coating is performing optimally.

 

In addition, we offer Ceramic Booster services to enhance your ceramic coating’s look and performance over time.
