What Is Ceramic Coating and Why Should You Care?
Your car's paint is constantly under attack. UV rays fade the color, rain leaves water spots, tree sap bonds to the surface, and road grime sticks on. Wax helps a little, but it washes off within a few weeks-months and needs constant reapplication.
A ceramic coating is a liquid product that bonds chemically to your paint and hardens into a protective layer. Once it cures, it repels water, resists UV damage, and makes your car far easier to keep clean. It typically lasts 2 to 5 years and keeps your paint looking fresh with much less effort. We apply it at your location across Seaside and the wider Monterey Peninsula.
What Ceramic Coating Does for Your Car
Water Beads and Rolls Off
Rain and wash water bead up and slide off the surface, taking dirt with them. Your car stays cleaner for longer between washes.
UV Protection Built In
The coating shields your paint from the sun's UV rays, which are a major cause of fading and oxidation over time.
Scratch and Chemical Resistance
The hard ceramic layer adds a degree of scratch resistance and helps protect against bird droppings, tree sap, and road chemicals.
Lasting Gloss for Years
Unlike wax that fades after a few weeks, a ceramic coating maintains that fresh, deep shine for 2 to 5 years with minimal upkeep.
Ceramic Coating Questions Answered
Everything you want to know before booking, in plain language.
Yes, Elite Auto Detailing is a fully mobile service. We bring our equipment, water, and power directly to your home, office, or anywhere in the Monterey Peninsula, so you never have to leave your schedule to get your car detailed.
Pricing depends on vehicle size and package. Our Mini Detail starts at $100 for a coupe/sedan, our most popular Full Detail starts at $200, and our top tier Elite Detail starts at $350. SUVs and trucks/minivans are priced slightly higher due to the extra time and materials involved. Check our Pricing page for full details.
A Mini Detail usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, a Full Detail takes roughly 2.5 to 4 hours, and our Elite Detail or paint correction packages can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours depending on your vehicle's size and condition. We will give you a time estimate when you book.
Our Premium coating is rated for 3 years of protection, while our Elite 5-Year Coating offers the longest lasting gloss and protection against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants. Both include full paint decontamination and correction before application for the best possible bond and finish.
Paint correction is a machine polishing process that removes swirls, light scratches, and oxidation to restore clarity and gloss. If your paint looks dull or has visible scratches under sunlight, our 1-Stage Correction removes 60-70% of defects while our 2-Stage Correction removes 80-90% for a near showroom finish. It is also recommended before any ceramic coating application.
We are fully self sufficient with our own water supply and power, so we can detail your vehicle almost anywhere, including apartments, offices, and job sites.
You can book directly through our website, call us at (831) 717-8108, or email eliteautodetail831@gmail.com. We recommend booking a few days in advance, especially for paint correction and ceramic coating packages since they require longer service windows.
