NO HASSLE WARRANTY — our coating comes with a long-lasting 10-year guarantee. Simply bring it into our shop if you ever need repairs, and we'll take care of the rest without any questions asked.
SELF-CLEANING PROPERTIES — water effectively removes dirt from the surface by encapsulating it and rolling off easily.
PRISTINE SHINE — our coating contains nanoparticles that fill the smallest pores in the paint, giving your vehicle a permanent, showroom-quality gloss. This means you'll never have to wax it again.
SURFACE PROTECTION — our coating prevents damage from bird droppings, bugs, dirt, tar, tree sap, and graffiti paint from adhering to the surface.
VERSATILE APPLICATION — our coating can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including glass, paint, rims, gel coat, fiberglass, plastic, metals, vinyl, leather, carpet, and more.
Yes, ceramic products are designed to be safe for use on any surface, including paint, vinyl, and paint protection films of any kind. Ceramic won't void any manufacturer warranties or harm your paint or clear coat.
Does Ceramic protect my car from scratches?
Yes! Once ceramic coating cures, it becomes 3 times harder than paint. The coating will be more resistant to scratches. SunCoat is a glass coating, while glass can sill be scratched and chipped, it is still much more resistant than your clearcoat.
Does Ceramic fade, yellow, crack, or peel?
Nope! Ceramic coating won't crack, peel, or yellow. The products we use have undergone SGS testing and real-life testing in some of the world's harshest environments and surpassed all of them.
Is ceramic an alternative to wax?
Yes! Once you get ceramic coating, you will never need to wax again. No need for abrasive washes or any waxes/sealants. Cleaning your car’s paint will be as easy as cleaning your glass/windshield.
Application
How long does the application take?
Depending on the size of the car, the packages you choose, the state of the paint, and other factors, the ceramic coating process can take one to three days. The car needs to be prepped and washed first. Correcting all paint flaws, including scratches and swirls, is the second step. Once the vehicle has been properly prepped, a body shop-safe prep solvent will be applied to the entire vehicle to reveal the bare paint. This is when the coating process starts. Depending on the package you have chosen, ceramic will be applied, leveled, and stacked on each panel of the car
Can any detailer apply SunCoat to my vehicle?
No, any detailer, dealership, or service that claims to apply Suncoat without becoming a Certified Installer is making a false claim.
Can I apply SunCoat to my vehicle?

My car has scratches and swirls, can I apply ceramic?
No, our professionals are skilled in the field of surface correction and are trained and certified. Before ceramic application, our professionals will restore your vehicle to its best possible condition.
Durability
Will ceramic protect my car’s paint from rock chips?
Ceramics are "glass" coatings because they are based on silica. Although ceramic increases its resistance to rock chips, larger stones, and high speeds can still cause chips. Your car's glass windshield will still chip rocks, but far less frequently than the clear coat.
Will It prevent water spots?
No, ceramic won't stop water spots from appearing, but it WILL make it easier to get rid of them without harming the surface. Although ceramic is a silica-based product and the glass on your windshield can still get water spots, it is far more resistant to water spots than your clearcoat. This is because ceramic forms a protective layer over the substrate, which prevents the minerals from corroding or etching the surface that the ceramic is protecting.
Can I apply ceramic aside from my car’s paint?
Yes, can be applied to several parts of the car, such as: VINYL/WRAP: Ceramic shields vinyl against UV rays, oil/grime, spills, and stains. Suncoat is entirely flexible and won't split or separate from your vinyl. Ceramic has a self-cleaning effect, just like any other surface, making it simple to clean your vinyl. Bid farewell to an endless supply of vinyl cleaners.
GLASS: To repel water, ceramic can be applied to any glass surface.
CHROME: Ceramics works wonders in preventing oxidation, discoloration, and corrosion in chrome and polished finishes.
PAINT: The best way to stop paint from fading over time is to coat your paint with ceramic.
CARPET/FABRIC: Your upholstery can be coated with ceramic to make it resistant to spills and stains. No more costly accidents inside your car.
Can I apply ceramic to my car?
No, only professionals with training and certification should apply ceramic. This product requires extensive preparation, meticulous attention to detail, and knowledge of solvent-based coatings.
Maintenance
I just have my car coated, how long til I can wash it?
For the solvents to completely cure and outgas, you should wait 14 days before doing the first wash. During these two weeks, if you notice that your car has water spots, bird droppings, tree sap, etc., remove it right away and follow our care instructions. Remember that the coating is softer during the 14-day period, so work on the paint gently.
Do I still need to wax after installing my ceramic?
No! wax and sealants can be permanently replaced with ceramic products. You can throw those products away!
What do I use to maintain the coating?
The wonderful thing about ceramic goods is that all you need is some water and dish soap or a mild soap. Clay bars and other harsh chemicals, goodbye. Effortlessly and quickly preserve your coating with glass cleaner or a No Rinse lubricant/wash.
Does this product require annual servicing?
Yes. You must attend an annual service to keep your warranty valid. This is to guarantee that ceramic functions correctly for the duration of the warranty. The warranty may be voided if the yearly inspection is missed.

Avoid taking your car through a tunnel car wash system as it may cause swirl marks and damage the coating and paint job.
Installing the Ceramic Coating
Our technicians apply the SunCoat® ceramic coating by hand using a one-inch soft foam applicator, followed by a special nano-ceramic sealant. This ensures that your car has an extra layer of protection and a hydrophobic surface. We take great care in ensuring that the coating is properly maintained during the curing process, which takes 6 hours, to ensure a permanent bond. The presence of water beads on the surface is a sign of a properly applied ceramic coat.
Annual Inspections and Warranty
Annual inspections, which must be performed by an approved applicator within 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the last service, are necessary to maintain the warranty. Neglecting to complete the annual inspection within the specified timeframe will result in the warranty being voided. The cost of the annual inspection, including an exterior wash, decontamination, topcoat application, and inspection, is $150. The warranty terms can be found by clicking here.
