Ceramic Coatings Provide Endless Benefits

Ceramic coatings offer a revolutionary way to protect your vehicle's exterior, ensuring it remains in pristine condition for years to come. This advanced protective layer bonds with the paint of your car, creating an exceptionally durable surface that stands up to environmental aggressors such as UV rays, acid rain, and road salts. Not only does it provide a barrier against these elements, but it also enhances the vehicle's appearance, giving it a glossy, showroom-quality finish that is sure to turn heads. Beyond aesthetics, the hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings means that water beads and rolls off the surface, making cleaning your car less of a chore and more a matter of simplicity. Dirt, grime, and other contaminants are much easier to remove, reducing the need for frequent washes and detailing sessions.

The long-term benefits of applying a ceramic coating to your vehicle are manifold. By safeguarding your paintwork from scratches, chemical etching, and fading, ceramic coatings preserve the vehicle's resale value, ensuring that your car not only looks fantastic but also maintains its worth over time. The elimination of the need for regular waxing further underscores the cost-effectiveness and convenience offered by ceramic coatings. Vehicle owners can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing their investment is well protected against the rigors of daily use and the harsh realities of the environment. In essence, ceramic coatings provide a smart, long-lasting solution for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your vehicle with minimal effort.

Cost of Ceramic Coating For Your Vehicle

At Sun Shield of Lubbock we understand the importance of transparency and fairness in automotive care pricing, which is why we advocate for every professional automotive shop to maintain a clear labor rate. Our standard labor rate is set at an affordable $75 per hour, a competitive price that reflects our commitment to quality and value. To give you a comprehensive understanding of how labor costs are calculated, let's delve into the factors that influence the number of labor hours required for our services.

We start with a meticulous process that involves several critical steps, each contributing to the overall time and effort invested in your vehicle. For example, paint correction alone can account for up to 20 hours of labor, while the application of ceramic coating adds an additional 3 hours. Combined with the necessary preparation, exterior detailing, and polishing, the total labor time can reach around 30 hours. By multiplying this by our labor rate, the cost for labor alone amounts to $2,250.

It's important to note that these figures only represent labor hours and do not include the material costs, which can be as high as $500 for a job of this caliber. Consequently, the total price range for a multi-stage correction with a professional ceramic coating applied on top is estimated to be between $2,750 and $2,950. This pricing ensures that no corners are cut, guaranteeing you receive the high-quality results you expect from a professional service.

While our rates are reflective of the meticulous care and expertise we provide, we also believe in making our services as accessible as possible. That's why we occasionally offer promotions, providing an excellent opportunity for you to take advantage of our exclusive offers. These promotions are our way of giving back to our valued customers, ensuring that top-tier ceramic coating services from Sun Shield of Lubbock are within reach. Keep an eye out for these special deals, and don't miss the chance to enhance your vehicle's protection and aesthetic appeal with our professional ceramic coating solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ceramic Paint Protection?

Ceramic Coatings why are they so popular today? Unlike wax, a ceramic coating brings you the following benefits and protection.

✅ Never Have to Wax Your Vehicle Again

It also withstands temperatures up to 1200 degrees it can even be applied to exhaust pipes. Coating your car with ceramic car coatings also gives the paint a 9H hardness (which means it makes the finish 9 X the hardness of factory paint). Best of all the Ceramic Coating increases the gloss of the paint 5 to 10 times more than wax and the gloss is so clear that it shows the depth of the paint. The average lifespan and warranty of one application vary by manufacturer. We use Owner's Pride and offer 5 years with a written warranty. See our ceramic coatings page for more information.

What Is Paint Correction? Should I Get It Before I Ceramic Coat My Vehicle?

Paint correction involves either a 1 step or a multi-step polishing to remove any swirls or webbing. The detailer will be leveling the paint to the depth of the scratch or swirl before applying a ceramic coating. Paint correction must be done prior to coating any vehicle to get the best results. If you decide to skip this step any defect in the paint will be magnified tenfold by the ceramic coating.

Generally speaking the average cost for a 1 step polish (paint correction) done by a professional certified installer will be around $250. A Multistep polish is done by a skilled professional usually starts at $375+ and can go up to $600.00 for neglected cars. In severe cases hand sanding the paint and then doing a multi-step polish to remove sanding marks and bring the paint back to better than factory condition by removing factory orange peel can add anywhere from $1,300 to $1,800. No matter who you choose please make sure they are a trained professional especially if you own a black car or truck. See our paint correction page for more information.

How Do I Choose The Best Car Detailing Service Company?

When looking to get a coating applied to your vehicle the first thing you want to do is put on your digital detective hat on. Search for the company reviews to see if they have a constant 5-star rating or is it a mixed bag of reviews some good and some bad. We recommend that you avoid any company that does not have reviews. Best way to find out is to google their “company name reviews” Click or tap here to see our latest review.

Don’t take off your detective hat off just yet your work is not done. Next step is to look for pictures or videos of the work they have done and how many of those pictures are ones taken of black cars that went through the paint correction process before putting on a ceramic coating. A black car is one of the toughest colors to work with when doing a ceramic car coating and paint correction and shows the full skill of the company that did the correction and the auto ceramic coating.

Finally, we recommend that you call the companies and ask questions to determine if they have the knowledge and experience in paint correction and ceramic coatings you are comfortable with. Here is a list of questions that we prepared for you.

What is the name of the manufacturer?

Are they off the shelf coatings found online (like Amazon)?

Is it a cheap knockoff brand?

Do they offer a written warranty by the manufacturer?

If they say yes to number 4. Ask how many years.

The reason you want to ask is that some of these products may be knockoffs from China or off the shelf that were bought online from eBay or Amazon. This means they will more than likely not offer you a warranty since they do not have a relationship with the manufacturer.

What About Getting It Directly From The Car Dealerships?

Car dealerships will offer what is referred to as a production ceramic car coating. A production coating is when a ceramic coating is improperly applied to your paint on top of all imperfections. That means not polishing all the defects out before applying the coating such as micro-scratches or swirls.

You are probably thinking how much damage can really happen to a car or truck that is sitting at the dealership's car lot. Most cars are just sprayed down and if they do get washed it will be with old and reused towels and brushes. Improperly washed vehicles are not so easy to spot at the moment because you might have other things on your mind like how much is this car going to cost me?

Why Should You Choose Sun Shield of Lubbock To Apply Your Next Ceramic Car Coating?

Let’s face it we spend a lot of time washing and waxing our car only to find out it starts losing its shine and swirl marks start appearing over time. What if there was a better way? Well, now there is! Sun Shield of Lubbock has the answer.

We will do a complete walkthrough with you and go over how much paint correction is needed. We also offer optional items such as Rims; Windows; plastic trim. We will only apply coatings if your vehicle paint is properly corrected and free of any imperfections and defects.

How Long Does a Ceramic Coating Last on a Vehicle?

Ceramic coatings offer an impressive longevity compared to traditional waxing methods. When properly applied and maintained, a high-quality ceramic coating can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years, and in some cases, even longer. The lifespan of a ceramic coating largely depends on factors such as the quality of the product, the preparation and application process, the vehicle's exposure to the elements, and how well it is maintained post-application. Regular washing and avoiding abrasive cleaners can significantly extend the life of your ceramic coating.

Can Ceramic Coatings Prevent Scratches and Paint Chips?

While ceramic coatings significantly enhance the hardness of your vehicle's exterior surface, they are not a foolproof shield against all types of scratches and paint chips. Ceramic coatings are designed to provide a strong layer of protection against minor abrasions, swirl marks, and chemical etching from bird droppings, acid rain, and tree sap. However, they cannot completely prevent deep scratches or chips caused by rocks or other sharp objects. It's important to note that ceramic coatings excel in preserving your vehicle's paint by reducing the risk of superficial damage.

Is a Ceramic Coating Worth it for Older Vehicles?

Absolutely. Ceramic coatings can be particularly beneficial for older vehicles, helping to restore and preserve the paint's appearance. By applying a ceramic coating, you can enhance the gloss and protection of the vehicle's existing paint, potentially revitalizing its overall look. For older vehicles that may have already experienced some wear and tear, a ceramic coating can provide a protective barrier that helps prevent further degradation of the paintwork, making it a worthwhile investment for maintaining or improving the vehicle's aesthetic appeal and protecting against future damage.

How Does Ceramic Coating Compare to Waxing?

Ceramic coating and waxing both serve to protect the vehicle's paint, but ceramic coating offers a far more durable and long-lasting solution. Unlike wax, which typically needs reapplication every few months, ceramic coatings can last for several years with proper maintenance. Ceramic coatings also provide superior protection against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and chemical stains. Furthermore, the hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings make them more effective at repelling water and dirt, making vehicle cleaning easier and less frequent. In terms of cost, while ceramic coatings require a higher initial investment, their longevity and the level of protection they offer can make them more cost-effective in the long run.

Do Ceramic Coatings Require Special Maintenance?

Ceramic coatings do require some level of maintenance to ensure their longevity and effectiveness, but this maintenance is generally less demanding than that required for uncoated or waxed vehicles. To maintain a ceramic-coated vehicle, it is recommended to wash it regularly with a pH-neutral soap and avoid using abrasive brushes or detergents that can degrade the coating. Although ceramic coatings are hydrophobic and make cleaning easier, removing contaminants like bird droppings, sap, and tar promptly is crucial to prevent potential staining. Additionally, it's advisable to avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes. Periodic inspections by a professional can also help address any issues with the coating before they become problematic.
