Ceramic Coating Packages, Explained
A clear breakdown of our four exterior coating tiers — 1-Year, 3-Year, 6-Year, and Lifetime — plus interior, wheel, and glass coatings, and how to choose the right one.
Part of the guideHow Much Does a Ceramic Coating Cost?We offer four exterior coating tiers plus interior, wheel, and glass coatings. Every exterior package includes full paint decontamination and a mirror-like, hydrophobic finish — the difference between them is durability and warranty length. Here's what each tier is for and how to pick.
The four exterior tiers
- 1-Year coating (from $397) — the affordable entry point. Real gloss and protection for drivers who want a noticeable upgrade over wax without a long-term commitment.
- 3-Year coating (from $597) — a popular middle ground that balances cost with several years of durable protection.
- 6-Year coating (from $999) — a more durable formulation for drivers who want long-term, lower-maintenance protection.
- Lifetime coating (from $1,500) — our most durable option, for owners who want set-and-forget protection for as long as they keep the vehicle.
All four start with the same foundation: full decontamination, paint correction as needed, and a careful, cured application.
How to choose the right tier
The simplest way to decide is to match the coating to how long you plan to keep the car:
- Selling or trading in a year or two? The 1-Year or 3-Year coating gives great gloss and protection without overspending.
- Keeping it several years? The 6-Year coating is the sweet spot for durability.
- Planning to keep it long term or want the best? The Lifetime coating is built for the long haul.
We'll help you match a tier to your situation when you book — there's no need to overbuy.
Add-on coatings
Beyond exterior paint, you can add protection where it counts:
- Interior ceramic coating (from $199) — protects upholstery and surfaces against stains and wear
- Wheel ceramic coating (from $249) — makes brake dust and grime easy to rinse off
- Glass ceramic coating (from $179) — improves visibility and water shedding on the windshield
These can be added to any exterior package or booked on their own.
What's not included
Coating tiers cover chemical and cosmetic protection — gloss, slickness, and resistance to UV and contaminants. They don't protect against rock chips; for that you'd add paint protection film. For exact pricing and what drives it, see how much a ceramic coating costs.
