Ceramic Coatings Coeur d ‘Alene Idaho | What do they cost?
How much money should you spend on a ceramic coating, and how much do ceramic coatings cost? I like simple answers, so here are our average ceramic coating prices.
Sedan: $1200
Small SUV: $1200-$1500
Large Vehicles: $1500+
It’s important to keep in mind… these are AVERAGE ceramic coating prices, and like we said, one of our favorite parts of the job is working with customers 1 on 1 to find exactly what works for them.
Now let’s answer the burning question:
Why are ceramic coatings so expensive? Well, there are three reasons:
First and foremost, ceramic coatings take TIME. The average ceramic coating installation takes about 10 hours…Crazy right?
Automotive Ceramic coatings are the hardest, most durable, and advances form of paint protection that exists! We’re talking years on end of protection…not months.
And finally, in order to install a ceramic coating properly we put ourselves through some serious training. In fact, we spent about 90 days going through the most reputable online paint correction and ceramic coating training there is! Not to mention all of the practice followed… So at the end of the day, we are also charging for our expertise (and we think we’re pretty good ;)
What Is A Ceramic Coating?
Because we are trained Ceramic Coating Specialists, we’re tempted to get into the nitty gritty of what a ceramic coating is, why it’s the 9th wonder of the world of our Coeur d ‘Alene auto detailing business, but we don’t want to bore you! A ceramic coating is like a thick winter coat you put on your kids before they go sledding! It’s a hyper durable and extremely hard layer of Silicon Dioxide (glass) that cures the the entire exterior of your vehicles paint, glass and other surfaces. Not only do ceramic coatings give a rich, glossy appearance to the car’s paint that is absolutely unmatched, but a nano ceramic coating is designed to last somewhere between 3 and 10+ years depending on the coating you choose. Ceramic Coatings have 2 jobs:
Long term paint protection
Beautiful hyper gloss and shine
How Does a Ceramic Coating Work?
After the paint has been completely cleaned, decontaminated, and we’ve created a smooth surface through paint correction, a thin layer of the liquid ceramic coating is applied to the paint. The coating is shortly left to cure, then carefully buffed off until all that remains is a thin ceramic layer that is left for 24 hours in order to cure.
After a ceramic coating is applied to the paint, it is as if your vehicle has an extra layer of ultra durable, scratch resistant, and hydrophobic skin. Ceramics are designed to protect against everything that touches the paint from the outside world: bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches and much more.While normal auto detailing services can help clean and protect the paint temporarily, ceramic coatings form a sort of shield that protect your investment until the day it’s traded in, which means more money in your pocket!
Washing your car is an inconvenience and tiresome… So after we spend 50,000 on a vehicle we slowly watch it degrade more and more over time because we just don’t want to keep up with it. We think it’s crazy to pay thousands of dollars for a car, drive it unprotected,and trade it in for pennies years later
