Ceramic Coating in Columbus, OH
A professionally applied, semi-permanent coating that adds gloss, UV protection and water beading to clear coat. A coating does not stop chips, but it makes salt, brine and road film much easier to wash off through a Columbus winter, and it protects the clear coat during humid summers.

How do I maintain a coated car?
Hand wash with a pH-neutral soap, avoid harsh brushes, and follow the installer's inspection schedule to keep the warranty valid.
Can a coating go on top of PPF?
Yes. Many shops offer a film-specific coating so PPF stays glossy and easier to clean.
Does a ceramic coating prevent scratches and rock chips?
No. It adds a hard, slick layer that resists light marring, chemicals and UV, but it does not stop chips. For chips you need PPF.
