Ceramic coatingat our shop
Paint polished first, then a real ceramic coating bonded to the clear coat. Gloss you can see from the street, water that sheets off, and washes that take half the time, for years, not months. The coating is done at our shop near Chisholm Creek. We pick the car up and bring it back, or you drop it off.

★ Why coat it
The last time your paint looks this good shouldn't be the day we leave
Gloss that reads from across the lot
We polish the paint before the coating goes on, so the coating locks in corrected, glossy clear coat instead of sealing swirls underneath it.
Water sheets off. Dirt lets go.
A bonded ceramic layer is slick and hydrophobic. Rain beads and runs, red dirt and pollen rinse instead of bonding, and bugs wipe off before they etch.
Washes in half the time
Most of what makes a wash slow is grime that has grabbed onto bare clear coat. Coated paint releases it. A quick rinse and a gentle hand wash and the car looks detailed again.
Oklahoma-grade protection
Sun, I-40 bugs, construction dust, bird droppings, tree sap. The coating takes that abuse instead of your paint, and it keeps doing it for years with basic care, not months.
We pick it up, or you drop it off
A real coating takes most of a day and has to be done at the shop, not in a driveway. We can come get the car and bring it back, or you can drop it off near Chisholm Creek. You do not have to sit there.
Honest paint inspection first
We check the paint under light before any work starts and tell you exactly what it needs. One polish stage handles most daily drivers. Heavier swirls get another stage. You decide, then we start.
★ How it goes
Polish, prep, coat. In that order.
Most of the value in a ceramic coating is the work before the bottle opens. Skipping the polish is how coatings end up sealing swirls in for years. We don't skip it.

Book Ceramic Coating- 01
Wash & decontaminate
Two-bucket hand wash, iron and tar remover, then a clay bar so the paint is actually clean, not just wet.
- 02
Machine polish
Single-stage polish brings the gloss back and knocks down light swirls. Paint that needs more gets another stage, agreed with you first.
- 03
Panel prep
Every painted panel gets wiped to bare clear coat so the coating bonds to paint, not to polish oils.
- 04
Coat, level, check
Coating applied panel by panel, leveled, then inspected for high spots after flash. You get an aftercare walkthrough before we leave.
Just want the shine for now?
If the car needs a proper wash this week and the coating is a someday thing, book an Exterior Detail or Inside & Out and add Ceramic Spray Protection. It's a quick topper, not a coating, and it buys you a few easier months. When you're ready for the real thing, this page is where to come back to. Edmond customers: see mobile detailing in Edmond.
★ FAQ
Ceramic coating, asked straight
- Do you do ceramic coating in Oklahoma City?
- Yes, as a full service, not an add-on. We polish the paint and apply a real ceramic coating at our shop in Oklahoma City, near Chisholm Creek. We can pick the car up and bring it back, or you can drop it off. The spray you can add to a regular detail is a different product, and that one is done where the car is parked.
- What's included in the ceramic coating service?
- A full hand wash with iron and tar decontamination and clay bar, a single-stage machine polish, panel prep on every painted surface, the ceramic coating itself, and an aftercare walkthrough so you know how to wash it and what to avoid.
- Why do you polish before coating?
- A coating locks in whatever is under it. Coat over swirls and you have shiny, protected swirls for years. Polishing first means the gloss you see on day one is the gloss the coating preserves. One stage is enough for most daily drivers. If your paint needs a second stage we tell you at the inspection, before anything starts.
- How is this different from your Ceramic Spray Protection add-on?
- The spray is a quick topper we put on after a wash. It helps for a few months and it costs a few dollars. The coating is a bonded layer applied after machine polishing. It is a real coating, it takes most of a day, and it lasts years with basic care. If you want the paint protected and looking its best for the long haul, you want the coating.
- How long does it take, and do I need to be there?
- Plan on the car being with us for most of the day, usually four to six hours of work. You do not have to wait at the shop. We can pick it up and bring it back, or you can drop it off.
- What does ceramic coating cost?
- Pricing depends on one thing: how many polish stages your paint needs. Most daily drivers need one. We confirm it at the paint inspection before any work starts, and the quote is the price.
- Can you coat my car in Edmond, Norman, or Moore?
- We pick up across the metro: Oklahoma City, Edmond, Arcadia, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, and the rest. The coating itself is done at our shop in OKC. You can also drop the car off there.
- How do I take care of a ceramic coated car?
- Mostly by not fighting it. Give it the cure window we tell you about before the first wash, skip automatic brush washes, use a pH-neutral soap, and rinse off bird droppings and bugs when you see them. We put it all in writing before we leave.
