Professional Ceramic Coating in Reno, NV

Yes. The high-altitude sun breaks down unprotected clear coat. A professional coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, preventing oxidation and repelling dust.

Wax melts in the summer heat. Ceramic coatings bond at a molecular level, creating a hardened glass-like surface that lasts for years.

No, though people often use the terms interchangeably. Teflon (PTFE) was the older paint sealant chemistry sold by dealerships for decades, and it sits on top of the paint and wears off in months. A ceramic coating uses silicon dioxide (SiO2) that chemically bonds to the clear coat and lasts 2 to 5 years. If a shop quoted you a Teflon or paint sealant package, a ceramic coating is the modern equivalent and it lasts considerably longer.

Yes. We coat trucks, SUVs, sedans, and work vehicles. Larger vehicles cost more purely because of surface area, since a crew cab pickup has far more paint to decontaminate, correct, and coat than a sedan. Lifted trucks and work trucks benefit the most, because they collect the most road film and job site dust.

It resists fine wash marring and swirl marks. It will not stop rock chips or deep physical damage. For impact protection you want Paint Protection Film (PPF), which is a physical urethane film rather than a liquid coating. We do not install PPF, so if that is what your vehicle needs we will tell you straight rather than sell you a coating that will not do the job.

We come to you, so there is no shop to drive to and no vehicle to drop off. We install at homes, offices, and storage lots across Reno, Sparks, Spanish Springs, Sun Valley, Verdi, and the North Valleys. Our unit carries its own power and spot-free deionized water, and the vehicle only needs to stay sheltered for the first 24 hours while the coating cures.

Usually some. A coating locks in whatever the paint looks like underneath it, so swirl marks and oxidation stay sealed under the coating for years. We measure the clear coat and run a test section first, then quote the correction and the coating together so you see both numbers before any work starts.

For cars, trucks, and SUVs, professional ceramic coating in Reno runs $800 to $2,500, depending on vehicle size, paint condition, and the coating tier you choose. The biggest cost variable is how much paint correction the finish needs first, since the coating locks in whatever is underneath it. We quote the correction and coating together after seeing photos of your vehicle, so the number you get is the number you pay. RVs and boats are priced separately after an in-person look, since length and gelcoat condition vary too much to quote remotely.

A professional coating lasts roughly 2 to 5 years depending on the product tier and upkeep. Regular pH-balanced hand washes and an occasional ceramic booster keep it performing, and we walk you through the exact maintenance after install.
