“Dylan and the guys did a great job restoring the oxidized paint on my 2018 Suburban. The GM paint that year was notoriously prone to oxidation, but the Platinum Plus crew did a phenomenal job getting it to the best possible level of restoration.”

Count the coats, then count the years

On the two ION packages, nothing goes on until the paint has had this prep. From there the packages differ in how many layers go on and how long the warranty runs. The warranty is recorded so a buyer can check it on Carfax.

Self-healing urethane goes on wet, then gets squeegeed down panel by panel. Bumper, hood and fenders take the rock chips, so they take the film first.

Porsche and Tesla owners get packages built for their cars: coating on the paint, and on the metal trim, carbon fibre and glass that a wash bucket usually ignores.

Low-gloss finishes need protection that keeps them low gloss. Matte paint protection film and Shift, the colour-infused film from Ceramic Pro, are both on the menu.

Every exterior job starts with an inspection of the paint and a two-bucket hand wash, then the clay bar. Coating a dirty panel seals the dirt in.

Gel coat gets a two-step compound and polish, aiming for 90 percent or better defect removal, before Ceramic Pro Bravo or Marine goes on.

Seven ways to keep a finish looking new

Coating, film and tint protect the paint and glass. Detailing gets them clean enough to protect. Boats and RVs get the same chemistry at a bigger scale.

Turnaround, warranties and the mobile unit

Straight from the shop. If yours is not here, call (714) 614-1691 and ask Joab’s team directly.

It depends on the package. The ION Lifetime package takes 2 to 3 days, the ION 7-Year package 1 to 2 days, and the Silver and Bronze packages one day each. On the two ION packages much of that time is prep: wash, iron decontamination, clay bar and paint correction before any coating goes on.

The ION Lifetime package and the Ultimate Armor package carry a lifetime warranty, the ION 7-Year package a 7-year warranty, and the Silver and Bronze packages 2 years. The coating is recorded so the warranty can be verified on Carfax.

Yes. Our mobile unit comes to your home within our 8-mile service area and sets up in your garage or parking stall. The Platinum Deluxe and Platinum Custom packages cost the same mobile as they do in the shop. We also offer free pick-up and drop-off within 8 miles of the Costa Mesa shop. Call to check whether your address is inside the area.

Our Free Ticket Insurance covers it. If you are ticketed for the tint on your two front windows, we remove that tint free of charge, and once you are ready we reapply the tint on those two windows for free. Some conditions apply, so call us for the full details.

Pricing varies by the size of the car and the condition of the paint. A sedan, a mid-size SUV and a full-size truck each have their own starting price, and every service starts with an in-person inspection so the quote matches the car in front of us.

Yes. Boats get Ceramic Pro Bravo, with an 18-month warranty, from $95 per linear foot, or Ceramic Pro Marine, with a 3-year warranty, from $175 per linear foot. Both start with a two-step compound and polish. RV ceramic coating starts at $200 per foot for the full exterior.
