Restore Gloss & Protect Your Paint
Professional ceramic coating packages designed to boost gloss, protect your finish, and make your vehicle easier to maintain.
Watch Ceramic Protection In Action
See how ceramic coating helps water bead, sheet, and release from the surface for easier maintenance and a cleaner vehicle.
Cleaner, Glossier, Easier To Maintain
Ceramic coating creates a durable hydrophobic layer over your vehicle’s paint to help protect against UV exposure, road grime, bug splatter, bird droppings, water spots, and harsh Upstate New York weather.
Gloss Enhancement
Improves depth, clarity, and overall paint appearance so your vehicle looks freshly detailed and protected.
Hydrophobic Finish
Water beads and rolls off the surface for easier washing and quicker cleanup.
UV Protection
Helps reduce fading and environmental damage over time.
Long-Term Value
Helps preserve your vehicle’s appearance and resale value.
The Finish Matters Before The Coating Goes On
Ceramic coating locks in the surface underneath it. That’s why proper washing, decontamination, prep, and paint enhancement matter before installation.
- Paint decontamination
- Clay bar treatment
- Panel prep
- Paint enhancement as selected
- Ceramic coating installation

Bronco Raptor Protected By Upstate PPF
This Bronco Raptor received paint correction, full front Paint Protection Film with wrapped flares, and our 5-year ceramic coating package.

— Reginald Mills
Ceramic Coating vs Paint Protection Film
Ceramic coating and Paint Protection Film are often confused, but they protect your vehicle in different ways. For maximum protection, we recommend PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic coating over the entire vehicle.
| Ceramic Coating | Paint Protection Film |
|---|---|
| Gloss and easier cleaning | Rock chip protection |
| Hydrophobic protection | Physical impact protection |
| UV and chemical resistance | Scratch and road debris defense |
| Best over entire vehicle | Best on high-impact areas |

How We Install Ceramic Coatings
A ceramic coating is only as good as the prep underneath it.
1. Paint Inspection
We inspect paint condition, swirls, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and contamination.
2. Wash & Decon
The vehicle is washed, chemically decontaminated, and clay barred to prepare the paint.
3. Paint Enhancement
As needed, we polish the paint to improve gloss, depth, and clarity before coating.
4. Coating Install
The ceramic coating is applied, leveled, cured, and inspected for quality.
