Ceramic Coating
in Pembroke Pines, FL

Long-Term Paint Protection. Deep Gloss. Easier Maintenance.

A ceramic coating creates a durable protective layer over your vehicle's paint. It helps the surface resist and release everyday contamination while creating a highly hydrophobic finish.

This is especially valuable in South Florida, where vehicles deal with intense sun, UV exposure, rain, humidity, bugs, bird droppings, road grime, and water spotting.

  • UV exposure
  • Environmental contamination
  • Road grime

  • Bird droppings

Important: Ceramic coating does not make paint scratch-proof and does not remove existing scratches, swirls, or paint defects.

The process

Prep Is Everything.
Step by step.

A coating only performs as well as the surface under it, so every package starts with a full decontamination before the coating is applied and inspected.

Essential Ceramic — the process

  1. Vehicle inspection

    Inspect the paint and determine if the vehicle is suitable for coating without correction.

  2. Exterior detail

    Thorough exterior cleaning to remove dirt and road contamination.

  3. Iron decontamination

    Chemical iron removal to help remove embedded iron particles.

  4. Clay treatment

    Remove bonded contaminants and leave the paint smoother.

  5. Paint preparation

    Thoroughly prepare the surface so the ceramic coating can properly bond.

  6. Ceramic coating

    Apply the 5-year ceramic coating to the prepared paint.

  7. Final inspection

    Inspect the vehicle to ensure the coating has been properly applied and finished.

Signature Gloss — the process

  1. Vehicle inspection

    Inspect the paint and identify areas that may benefit from polishing.

  2. Complete exterior detail

    Thoroughly wash and clean the vehicle using safe detailing methods.

  3. Iron decontamination

    Remove embedded iron particles from the paint.

  4. Clay treatment

    Remove bonded contaminants.

  5. One-step machine polish

    Perform a one-step polishing process designed to improve gloss and reduce the appearance of light imperfections.

  6. Paint preparation

    Remove polishing oils and residue so the coating can properly bond.

  7. 5-year ceramic coating

    Apply the ceramic coating to the properly prepared paint.

  8. Final inspection

    Inspect the entire vehicle to ensure the coating is properly leveled and finished.

Ceramic coating aftercare

Your ceramic coating still needs proper maintenance.

  • Use safe washing methods
  • Avoid automatic tunnel washes
  • Maintain a regular wash schedule
  • Remove bird droppings and bugs promptly
  • Use coating-safe products
  • Follow recommended maintenance intervals

The easiest way to keep a coated car looking coated is a regular, safe wash schedule. The Prestige Club handles that for you — weekly, biweekly or monthly, at your location.

Ceramic Coating FAQs

Ceramic coating vs. wax — what's the difference?

Wax sits on top of the paint and lasts a few months. A ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, with far better resistance to UV, chemicals and water spots.

Does the paint need correction first?

Not always. If the paint is already in good condition, the Essential Ceramic package preps and coats it without machine polishing. If there are light swirls or you want more gloss, Signature Gloss adds a one-step machine polish before the coating goes on.

Will the coating hide scratches or swirls?

No. A ceramic coating does not remove existing scratches, swirls or paint defects, and it doesn't make paint scratch-proof. Polishing is what improves the appearance of the paint — the coating then protects that finish.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Both packages use a 5-year ceramic coating. Real-world durability depends on how the vehicle is washed and maintained — follow the aftercare below and the finish will keep beading for years.

Do I still need to wash the car?

Yes, but it's much easier. Dirt releases with less effort and the car stays cleaner between washes. Avoid automatic brush washes, and consider the Prestige Club for regular maintenance.

Can you apply it at my home?

Yes. A garage or covered spot is ideal so the coating can cure without rain or dust.

How soon can I drive after coating?

Right away for normal driving, but keep it dry and out of the rain for the first 24 hours and don't wash it for about a week.
