Water leaves on its own
Rain sheets straight off at speed and takes the road grime with it.
XPEL Certified Coating Installer
Ceramic coating that keeps the shine
Wax washes off in a few months. A ceramic coating bonds to the paint. Water sheets off, dirt stops sticking, and the gloss is still there in three years.

What it actually is
A hard layer, chemically bonded to your paint.
A coating is a liquid ceramic that hardens into a layer on top of your paint and takes the abuse instead of the paint. Water beads and carries dirt off, bugs and bird mess stop burning marks in, and washing takes a fraction of the time.
What it will not do is stop a rock. A highway chip goes straight through it. We run film on the impact areas and coating over everything else.

How we apply it
The prep is the job.
Deep clean
We wash it, then pull out the grit bonded to the surface. A coating put over grit bonds to the grit.
Correct
One or two polishing steps, depending on the package and the paint. This step sets how the car looks for years.
Apply and cure
Hand applied panel by panel, then left to cure. Rushing this is how coatings end with high spots and streaking.
Maintain
Come back for maintenance washes. A coating that is washed badly stops beading water.

Rated 5 out of 5
Nick and Austin always take great care with our vehicles! They just finished our third install of ceramic coating, window tint, and windshield protection. Their attention to detail and professional service are why we keep coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality auto care!
Rated 5 out of 5
Cannot recommend Slick Auto Care highly enough! I took my new 2025 Ranger Raptor in for some paint correction and decided to go ahead and add XPEL Classic Ceramic Coating. The paint looks incredible, and the water just runs off effortlessly. Go see them!
Rated 5 out of 5
Nick and team did a fantastic job on our SUV. They were professional and their attention to detail was outstanding! Inside of the vehicle was immaculate and the outside was smooth as butter (after claybar and ceramic coating). They even cleaned inside of the rims, we are ready to brave the winter elements. Thanks Slick Auto Care!
Coating questions
Before you book.
Does a ceramic coating mean I never have to wash the car again?
No. A coating makes washing easier and stops road grime sticking. The car still needs washing, and we offer a monthly maintenance wash for coated vehicles.
Do I need paint correction before a coating?
Yes, and every package includes it. A coating over scratched paint seals the scratches in for years. Lite gets one polishing step, and Classic and Ultimate get two.
How long does it actually last?
It depends on the product. XPEL Fusion Plus Lite carries one year of coverage, Fusion Plus Classic is up to four years with proper maintenance, and Fusion Plus Premium in our Ultimate package carries an eight year warranty.
Can I install a coating myself?
You can buy a bottle off the shelf. The coatings we use are unforgiving about prep, application and curing, and our XPEL certification keeps the product warranty intact.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Only light scratching. It will not stop a rock chip or a deep gouge. Paint protection film stops those. We run film on the front end and coating over everything else.
