The Process

What's Included

Every ceramic coating — 2-year or 5-year — includes all five steps below. The prep is what makes the coating last.

01

Decontamination Wash

A thorough hand wash to strip loose dirt, road film, and surface contamination. The foundation — every step after this depends on starting clean.

02

Clay Bar Treatment

Iron fallout remover and clay bar pull bonded particles from your paint — industrial fallout, brake dust, tar. You can feel the difference when it's done right.

03

One-Step Machine Polish

A light machine polish removes fine scratches, water spots, and swirl marks. It also creates the cleanest possible bonding surface for the coating.

04

Coating Application

Applied by hand in sections, flashed to haze, then methodically buffed off. Every panel, no time pressure.

05

Cure Time

Driveable same day. First wash in 7 days. Full chemical cure takes 2–3 weeks — avoid automated car washes during this period.

Why it matters

Why Ceramic Coating

Colorado is harder on paint than most states. Here's what ceramic coating actually does for your car.

UV protection at altitude

Boulder sits at 5,400 feet. UV radiation at altitude is measurably more intense than at sea level — that's why paint fades faster in Colorado than in most places. Ceramic coating reflects UV rays that break down your clear coat over time.

Hydrophobic surface

Water, mud, and road spray bead off and sheet away instead of sitting on the paint. Your car stays cleaner between washes, and when you do wash it, it takes a fraction of the effort.

Easier to keep clean

The slick, hardened surface means dirt doesn't bond the way it does on unprotected paint. Winter road salt, Colorado clay, and tree sap come off without abrasive scrubbing that would otherwise add scratches over time.

Protect your resale value

Paint in excellent condition holds value. A car with documented ceramic coating protection and solid paint tells a buyer something about how the vehicle was treated. That's verifiable, tangible value.
