An industry-grade Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the applied surface and cures, forming a hardened, protective layer that helps shield the surface from environmental exposure while improving ease of maintenance and overall aesthetics. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, Ceramic Coatings are designed to last for years when proper prep work, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance are followed.

A Ceramic Coating enhances the appearance of your vehicle while adding a durable layer of protection to the applied surfaces. It helps maintain gloss, slows environmental wear, and streamlines routine maintenance. While it is not a replacement for proper care, it reduces the cumulative impact of road grime and contaminants over time, helping preserve a clean, well-kept appearance.

Ceramic Coatings vary widely in durability based on product quality, preparation, installation, maintenance, and environment. At GreenTree, we offer different Ceramic Coating packages depending on your needs; from our entry-level 1 year coating, to our value-driven 3-4 year coating, to our flagship dual-layer 5 year coating. Longevity is not just about the coating itself, though. Proper prep, correct installation, and ongoing maintenance all play a critical role in how long the coating performs as intended. During your consultation, we help determine which option best fits your vehicle and ownership goals.

All of our Ceramic Coating packages include, at a minimum, a 1-Step Paint Enhancement to refine the finish and remove anything that could interfere with proper bonding prior to installation. A full Paint Correction is not required, but if deeper scratches or noticeable marring are present and you are looking for the best possible finish, it is strongly recommended. Because a Ceramic Coating locks in the current condition of the paint for years, addressing defects beforehand delivers the best long-term result. We always review the paint condition before performing any work and make recommendations based on our findings and what will actually benefit you and the vehicle.

Installing a Ceramic Coating is a detailed, multi-stage process that prioritizes preparation just as much as the coating itself. It includes a thorough contact wash, chemical and physical decontamination, machine polishing, surface preparation, and a careful, hand-applied, panel-by-panel coating installation. After application, the coating cures for a minimum of 12 hours in a controlled environment to ensure proper bonding and performance. This level of preparation, time, care, and attention is what separates a long-lasting Ceramic Coating from a short-lived result.
