Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings are the epitome of paint protection. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants, which tend to last only six months at a time, ceramic coatings can last for 2-4 years, depending on how well they are cared for. Ceramic coatings are liquid polymers that are applied by hand that chemically form a bond to the clearcoat of your car and provide a thick layer of protection.
There are many excellent ceramic coatings available on the market. I personally choose to use Gyeon Q2 Syncro Evo (pictured above), which is a two-stage coating that offers up to 48 months of protection (four years). It combines two of their best coatings in one kit, which allows for the most extended period of protection of almost any coating out there. When I do my Level 3 "Showroom Detail" for customers, I want to ensure the premium price matches the quality of work I perform. This is why I use only the best products out there!
