Before you decide

What coating can—and cannot—do.

Make washing easier

A prepared and coated surface helps reduce how strongly dirt and contamination adhere. Regular, careful washing is still necessary.

Keep the finish looking its best

Polishing improves the paint beneath the coating. Coating protects the prepared surface; it does not fill or remove existing scratches.

Set realistic expectations

Coating is not protection from rock impacts and does not make paint immune to scratches, water spotting, or chemical damage.

Professional ceramic coating at our Winsted shop.

We serve Litchfield County and the surrounding Northwest Connecticut area from 161 Meadow Street, Winsted. Bring us your daily driver, new vehicle, or enthusiast car for a paint assessment before choosing a coating package.

Our 1-year and 3-year packages include a single-step machine polish. The 5-year package includes two-step paint correction. We confirm the preparation, price, and care requirements for your vehicle before work begins.

Is ceramic coating useful for Connecticut winters?

Coating can make routine cleaning easier, but road salt and winter grime still need to be washed off. It does not replace regular maintenance or protect against stone chips. For impact protection, ask about paint protection film.

Does my vehicle need paint correction first?

We inspect the paint for swirls, haze, and other defects before applying protection. Coating does not remove existing scratches. Learn about our one-step and two-step paint correction or request a vehicle assessment.

How should I maintain a coated car?

Follow the curing and washing instructions we provide with your coating. Use careful washing methods and keep up with routine cleaning. Contact us for exterior detailing when your vehicle needs a thorough clean.
