Protect your vehicle with a high-gloss, long-lasting ceramic coating for superior durability and incredible shine.
Ceramic coating offers an exceptional layer of protection that enhances your car’s shine and keeps it looking great for years. At Wash That Auto Detailing, we specialize in professional ceramic coating application, ensuring your vehicle receives top-tier protection with a sleek, glossy finish.
Beyond aesthetics, ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic barrier, making maintenance easier while safeguarding against contaminants like dirt, road grime, and bird droppings. Whether you want to enhance your car’s appearance or prep it for sale, a ceramic coating is a smart investment. While not always required, paint correction and polishing can elevate your vehicle’s exterior to a whole new level.
Tired of dirt, water spots, and road grime sticking to your car? A ceramic coating helps repel contaminants, making it much easier to wash and maintain your vehicle. If you drive daily around Richmond and Houston, this protective layer minimizes buildup and allows debris to rinse off effortlessly the next time you wash your vehicle.
Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that wear off after several months, a ceramic coating bonds with your paint for years of protection. Properly applied, it helps guard against water spots, bird droppings, road tar, and environmental contaminants.
And that’s why it’s so important to hire a professional ceramic coating installer that can get the job done right the first time. You don’t want to spend all the money and be without a car for a day only for the coating to not do its job a month after you’ve had the service completed.
Instead of the coating being a durable shield, it turns into a weak layer of protection that only lasts a fraction of the time and doesn’t deliver the benefits to you.
Ceramic coatings don’t just protect your paint—you can also coat your wheels, glass, leather, and fabric for an added layer of defense. Just like the paint coating, these specialized coatings create a hydrophobic surface, making upkeep a breeze. We even apply ceramic coatings after headlight restoration to maintain clarity and protection.
Pricing depends on your vehicle’s size and the type of coating you’d like applied.

We take the time to properly prepare your vehicle before applying the coating, ensuring the best possible results. Depending on the vehicle’s condition, the process may be slightly different. For instance, a vehicle that’s heavily swirled will have a different process then a vehicle that has 100 miles and in superb condition.
Thorough Exterior Cleaning: We start by deep-cleaning the wheels and tires and doing a gentle but effective hand wash.
Decontamination Process: Next, a clay bar treatment is performed to remove embedded contaminants and make your paint smooth as glass. We also go through an iron decontamination process to dissolve iron fallout that may be on your vehicle.
Paint Correction and Polishing: Depending on your vehicle’s condition, we offer different levels of paint correction to remove swirls, oxidation, and water spots. This step enhances the final finish and ensures maximum shine.
Surface Prep: After polishing, we remove any wax or polish residue from the paint to ensure the ceramic coating has a clean, residue-free panel so it can bond properly to the paint.
Ceramic Coating Application: One of the last big steps to do is apply the coating to your paint to ensure durability and even coverage. This step is crucial for long-term protection.
Final Touches: Lastly, we inspect the vehicle, clean the glass, dress the tires, and ensure everything meets our high standards.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to this type of service. If you want us to remove 90% of the swirls and apply a ceramic coating to the glass, paint, wheels, and trim, we can do that for you.
And if you want a more simple service where your paint gets a light refresh to give it some shine but you’re not worried about making a massive transformation, we can also do that for you.
We pride ourselves in not only delivering the best results we can, but also making a hassle-free customer journey and experience for you. Whether it’s a ceramic coating or an interior detail, we’re going to put you first and make sure you’re satisfied with the results. You can read all of our reviews here.

Is paint correction necessary before applying a ceramic coating?
Not always, but it’s highly recommended. Some vehicles have minor imperfections that become more noticeable under a ceramic coating. A light polish or full correction can enhance the final look and longevity of the coating. This is going to be dependent on the color and condition of your vehicle.
Do I need special products to clean my ceramic-coated car?
While a ceramic coating doesn’t require specific brands, using pH-balanced car soaps and quality microfiber wash mitts and drying towels will help maintain the protection and shine for years. If the next wash you start using harsh chemicals with low-quality wash mitts, you’ll instantly start to add swirls and degrade the coating.
How long does a ceramic coating take to cure?
The full curing process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, but your car can be driven within 24-48 hours of the service being completed. During the curing period, avoid washing the vehicle or exposing it to harsh chemicals as it needs time to bond to the paint fully.
Do you clay bar the paint before applying the coating?
Yes! The clay bar process is crucial in removing embedded dirt and contaminants before polishing the paint and applying the coating. Skipping this step could lead to inferior results.
