Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light applied mobile at your driveway. 3 to 5 years of hydrophobic protection — we come to you anywhere in DFW.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your car's clear coat — becoming a permanent protective layer. Unlike wax, which sits on top and washes away, ceramic coating can't be removed by rain, detergent, or UV light.
We use Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light — one of the most advanced ceramic coatings available to professional applicators. It creates a hardened hydrophobic shell over your paint that causes water, dirt, brake dust, and bugs to bead off instead of bonding.
In Texas, where UV is brutal and summers hit 110°F, ceramic coating is one of the best investments you can make in a vehicle you plan to keep.
Drag to compare — actual CK client, DFW
Water beads and rolls off instantly — taking dirt, bird droppings, and road grime with it. Your car stays cleaner between washes.
Texas UV fades and oxidizes paint over years. Crystal Serum Light blocks UV rays, keeping your paint looking vibrant and new.
Resists bird droppings, bug acids, industrial fallout, and harsh detergents that would etch unprotected paint.
Crystal Serum Light adds a glass-like clarity to your paint — enhancing color depth and mirror-like reflections.
A simple rinse removes most contaminants. No more waxing every 3 months — your car maintains its shine with minimal effort.
Protected paint shows better at trade-in time. A ceramic-coated car looks newer longer, and buyers notice.
The difference is how much paint correction we do before applying the coating.
One-stage machine polish removes light swirls, water spots, and fine scratches before coating. Best for newer cars or vehicles in good condition.
Price may vary slightly based on paint condition
Two-stage machine polish for maximum paint correction before coating. Best for cars with heavy swirls, scratches, or paint that hasn't been corrected in years.
Recommended for vehicles with visible swirl marks
Contact Carson via form, call, or text. He'll ask about your vehicle, condition, and preferred location. You'll get an honest quote — no surprises.
Two-bucket wash removes surface dirt. Iron fallout remover dissolves bonded metallic particles. Clay bar pulls embedded contaminants — this prep determines the final result.
DA polisher with cutting compound removes swirl marks and scratches. For 1-step: one pass. For 2-step: heavy cut followed by refinement polish. This step alone can transform how your paint looks.
Every panel is wiped down with isopropyl alcohol to remove any polish residue and oils. The paint must be perfectly clean for the coating to bond correctly.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light is applied panel by panel using a foam applicator. It must be leveled carefully before it flashes — this is where experience matters.
24 hours to full cure. Carson walks you through the finished car and shows you the hydrophobic water beading live. He'll also go over care instructions before leaving.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light lasts 3 to 5 years with proper maintenance. Texas heat and UV can slightly reduce this without regular washing, but Crystal Serum Light is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and intense UV. Following basic care instructions will maximize longevity.
No — ceramic coating is not designed to protect against rock chips or impact damage. It adds chemical, UV, and light scratch resistance at a micro level, but it won't stop a rock chip. For impact protection, paint protection film (PPF) is the right choice. Some clients do both: PPF on high-impact areas (hood, bumper) + ceramic coating over the whole car.
We strongly recommend avoiding touchless automatic car washes after ceramic coating — the brushes create swirl marks that degrade the coating's appearance over time. A simple hand rinse or two-bucket hand wash preserves the coating and keeps the finish looking great.
Use a pH-neutral car wash soap, rinse regularly, and avoid leaving bird droppings or bug splatter on the paint for extended periods — even coated surfaces can etch if contamination sits too long in Texas heat. A ceramic spray booster every 6 months helps extend protection.
A full ceramic coating job typically takes 6 to 10 hours depending on the vehicle size, paint condition, and whether it's 1-step or 2-step. We ask that you make the car available for the full day. You can drive it after 12 hours — full cure is 7 days.
The base price reflects the product cost, prep time, and quality of work involved. That said, we offer discounts for repeat clients, multi-vehicle packages, and referrals. Contact Carson directly for a conversation — he's always reasonable.
