Our CCI Mobile coating protects your vehicle for 2-3 years, CCI Advanced lasts 3-5 years, and our flagship CCI Revolution provides 6+ years of professional-grade protection. Longevity also depends on how the vehicle is maintained after application. We provide every client with a personalized maintenance guide and offer free annual inspections to make sure your coating is performing the way it should for the full life of the product.

Our CCI Advanced coating at roughly $27 per month over its lifespan costs less than most monthly car wash memberships, except those car washes provide zero paint protection and their brushes are actually creating the swirl marks you’re trying to avoid. Ceramic coating protects against UV damage, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and environmental fallout that would otherwise etch into your clearcoat permanently. It also preserves your vehicle’s resale value and cuts your wash time in half because dirt and contaminants can’t bond to the surface the way they do on unprotected paint. You’re not spending extra money, you’re redirecting money you’d spend anyway toward something that actually protects your investment.

Much less than you’d think, and that’s one of the biggest benefits. Hand washing or touchless washing every two to three weeks is ideal. Avoid automated car washes with brushes, they’ll degrade any coating over time. We recommend using pH-neutral car wash soap and drying with clean microfiber towels. Beyond that, a maintenance boost spray every few months keeps the hydrophobic properties strong. We walk every client through the exact maintenance process after their service and include a care kit with our upper-tier packages. We also offer annual inspections at no charge to check coating condition and address any areas that might need a touch-up before they become an issue.

You can, but you shouldn’t, and I won’t. Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so applying coating over scratches and swirl marks just seals in those imperfections permanently. That’s why every one of our coating packages includes paint correction as part of the process. We measure your paint thickness, decontaminate the surface, and then systematically remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation before the coating ever touches your vehicle. The correction level varies by package, our Essential tier eliminates 50-80% of defects while our Elite tier uses unlimited correction passes to achieve near-flawless results. This is the single biggest factor separating a coating that looks incredible from one that just feels slick over dull paint.

The main differences are the level of paint correction performed before coating and the durability of the CCI coating product applied. Our Signature Essential package includes deep paint correction with CCI Mobile coating lasting 2-3 years, ideal for newer vehicles in good condition or daily drivers wanting solid protection. Our Signature Premier package steps up to full paint correction with CCI Advanced coating lasting 3-5 years, plus glass coating for improved visibility in rain. Our Signature Elite package is the full transformation, unlimited paint correction passes achieving near-flawless results, CCI Revolution coating lasting 6+ years, glass protection, and complete coverage of every surface including paint, wheels, trim, and door jambs. Every package includes decontamination, paint thickness documentation, and a personalized maintenance consultation.

Yes. We understand that professional ceramic coating is a significant investment, and we don’t want budget to be the reason your vehicle goes unprotected. We offer financing options that let you spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. In many cases, customers are paying less per month for years of professional protection than they were spending on monthly car washes.
