What is Ceramic Coating?
5-Year Protection
Long-lasting ceramic bond
Hydrophobic Shield
Water beads and slides off
UV Resistance
Protects against sun damage
Enhanced Gloss
Mirror-like finish
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer advanced ceramic shield that chemically bonds with your vehicle's factory paint, creating a permanent protective layer. Our advanced advanced ceramic technology fills microscopic pores in your clear coat, forming an incredibly smooth, hydrophobic self-cleaning surface that repels water, dirt, road grime, and environmental contaminants.
At Elite Auto Designs, our System X, SB³, and System X® certified specialists use premium professional-grade ceramic products and proven techniques. Each application includes thorough paint correction, clay bar decontamination, iron removal, and multi-stage surface preparation to ensure perfect adhesion and maximum longevity for your automotive ceramic coating.
Experience the benefits of 9H hardness scratch-resistant protection, enhanced mirror-like gloss, UV oxidation resistance, and easier maintenance. Our ceramic coatings provide self-cleaning properties, chemical stain resistance, and anti-water spot technology that keep your vehicle looking pristine with minimal effort—whether it's a sedan, SUV, truck, or luxury vehicle.
