Why preparation matters more than the coating
A coating locks in whatever is underneath it. Applied over swirls and contamination, it seals the defects in and they become much harder to fix later. That is why a coating job is mostly preparation: decontaminate the paint, then polish it, then coat it. Any shop quoting a coating without talking about the prep stage is quoting you a problem.
What it does and does not do
A coating makes the surface hydrophobic, so water beads and sheets off, road salt and brake dust release more easily, and washing takes less effort. It adds gloss and helps resist UV fading. It is not body armor: it will not stop rock chips, door dings or someone keying a panel, and it does not make the car self-cleaning. Maintenance washing still matters — we will show you how to wash it so the coating lasts.
What affects your estimate
Vehicle size, the condition of the paint and therefore how much correction it needs first, which coating product and durability tier you choose, and whether you want trim, wheels or glass coated as well. Availability of specific coating products should be confirmed when you contact us.
