Ceramic Coating Services for Los Gatos Drivers
Los Gatos luxury vehicles deserve premium protection. Our professional ceramic coating services are just 20 minutes south via Highway 17 or 85—delivering the same quality you'd find in Silicon Valley shops at South Bay prices.
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle's exterior that chemically bonds with the factory paint. This creates a permanent or semi-permanent protective layer that:
- Repels water and contaminants — Water beads and rolls off, taking dirt with it
- Blocks UV damage — Prevents oxidation and fading from California sun
- Resists scratches — Harder than clear coat for everyday protection
- Makes cleaning easy — Weekly washes take minutes, not hours
Our Ceramic Coating Packages
| Package | Protection | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1-2 years | $500–$800 | Daily drivers, lease vehicles |
| Premium | 3-5 years | $800–$1,200 | New car protection |
| Ultimate | 5+ years | $1,200–$2,000 | Luxury vehicles, show cars |
All packages include paint decontamination, clay bar treatment, and single-stage polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does ceramic coating last?
Our packages range from 1-2 years (Essential) to 5+ years (Ultimate). Longevity depends on maintenance—garage parking and hand washing extend life significantly.
Is ceramic coating worth it for a new car?
Absolutely. Applying coating to new paint means no paint correction is needed, and you protect your investment from day one. Many Los Gatos customers coat new vehicles within the first week of ownership.
Does ceramic coating prevent rock chips?
No. Ceramic coating protects against UV, chemical stains, and light scratches—not physical impact damage. For rock chip protection, combine coating with paint protection film (PPF).
Can you coat a black car?
Yes! Our controlled environment and proper lighting are essential for black and dark-colored vehicles. We see every imperfection and correct it before coating.
