Ceramic Coating & Detailing in Smithfield, NC
Ceramic coating done the right way — decontaminated, corrected, then coated. Plus full interior and exterior detailing to keep it that way.
Why coat the paint
Extreme hydrophobics
Water beads and sheets straight off, taking most of the dirt with it. Rain becomes a free rinse.
Deep, hard gloss
A candy-like depth on dark paint that wax can't hold for more than a couple of weeks.
UV & chemical resistance
Slows oxidation and fading, and shields against bug acid, bird droppings and road film.
Way less wash time
Contamination doesn't key into the surface, so maintenance washes get quick and safe.
Prep before product
Wash, decontaminate, correct, then coat. Skipping steps locks defects in permanently — we don't do that.
Full detailing available
Hand washing, wheels and tires, glass sealants, interior vacuum, leather conditioning and odor removal.
Tint + PPF + coating, one visit
If the car is already with us, it makes sense to knock out all three. Film on the impact zones, coating over the top, and ceramic tint on the glass.
Ceramic coating questions
+What does a ceramic coating actually do?
It's a liquid glass-like layer that bonds to your clear coat. It adds gloss, makes the surface extremely hydrophobic so water and dirt sheet off, and gives real chemical and UV resistance — so washing gets easier and the finish stays sharp.
+Is a ceramic coating the same as PPF?
No. A coating is chemical protection and gloss — it won't stop a rock chip. Paint protection film is physical impact protection. The best setup is PPF on the high-impact panels with a coating over everything.
+Do I still have to wash the car?
Yes, but it's dramatically easier. Contamination doesn't bond as hard, so most of it rinses off, and you can drop the harsh chemicals.
+How long does the install take?
Prep is the job. Depending on the paint's condition we may need a wash, decontamination and paint correction before coating, then cure time. Most vehicles are with us for at least a day or two.
+Can you coat wheels, glass and trim?
Yes. Wheels and glass are two of the highest-value surfaces to coat — brake dust releases easier and rain beads off the windshield at speed.
+Do you offer detailing too?
We do. Exterior detailing includes hand washing, wheel and tire cleaning and glass sealants; interior includes vacuuming, surface cleaning, leather conditioning and odor removal.

Coating vs. Wax
Wax is a sacrificial layer that sits on the paint and washes away in weeks.
