Yes, we offer full mobile ceramic coating services across the Toronto & GTA area and have completed hundreds of jobs this way with excellent results. To get the best finish, we require a clean and shaded area like a garage or covered driveway. If that’s not available, we bring a professional canopy to create a controlled space and protect your vehicle from dust or direct sunlight during the process. Our team comes fully equipped with everything needed to prep, apply, and cure the coating properly, so you get professional results without needing to leave your home.

Wax sits on top and wears off fast. Ceramic bonds to your paint and actually hardens, giving you long-term protection, deeper gloss, and way less hassle.

Yes. It works on cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and even boats — as long as the surface is properly prepared.

For most drivers in Toronto, yes. Ceramic coating creates a long-term barrier that protects your paint from UV rays, road salt, bird droppings, and other contaminants. It also makes washing your car easier and helps keep it looking newer for longer. While it does require an upfront investment, it saves time, effort, and wear on your vehicle in the long run.

It helps reduce light swirl marks and surface-level micro-scratches, especially from washing. However, it won’t stop deep scratches, rock chips, or anything that cuts through the clear coat. For full scratch protection, some people pair it with paint protection film (PPF).

The price reflects the quality of the product, the amount of prep work involved, and the skill required to apply it properly. It’s not a basic wax — it takes hours of labor and precision, and the results are long-lasting. You’re also paying for real protection, not just a temporary shine.

When applied correctly, no. It’s completely safe and beneficial for your paint. The only time issues come up is when the surface isn’t prepped properly or the coating is applied in poor conditions, which is why professional service is recommended.

Yes, it enhances the depth and clarity of your car’s paint. It won’t change the color, but it gives the finish a glossier, smoother appearance that reflects light better. For the best result, we recommend a polish before coating if your paint has swirls or dull spots.

Yes, it can. A well-maintained exterior gives buyers more confidence and makes your car stand out from others on the market. Ceramic coating helps preserve the paint, reduces signs of wear, and keeps the finish looking glossy and clean. This can lead to a higher resale price or a faster sale, especially if the buyer sees it as one less thing they’ll need to invest in. Having proof of professional coating and maintenance also adds credibility when selling.

Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, flexible film that physically shields your car from rock chips, scratches, and road debris. It’s thicker and offers impact resistance, making it ideal for high-risk areas like bumpers and hoods. Ceramic coating, on the other hand, is a liquid layer that bonds to your paint and helps protect against UV rays, stains, and minor swirl marks. It also adds a high-gloss finish and makes your car easier to clean.

In short, PPF is better for physical protection, while ceramic coating excels at keeping your car glossy, clean, and protected from the elements. Many people choose to use both — PPF on the front end and ceramic coating on the full car — for maximum coverage.

Yes, that’s one of the biggest benefits. Ceramic coating creates a slick, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, brake dust, and road grime. Contaminants have a harder time sticking to the paint, which means your car stays cleaner for longer and washes off much easier. You won’t need to scrub as hard or wash as often, and drying takes less time too. It also reduces the chances of scratching your paint during cleaning, since less friction is needed.

Yes, ceramic coating significantly reduces how much dirt, water, and grime stick to your paint. The surface becomes slick and hydrophobic, so most contaminants rinse off easily with a gentle wash. You won’t need to scrub as hard or wash as often, which means less risk of scratches and a lot less time spent maintaining your car. Drying is also faster since water sheets off more cleanly.

Absolutely. In fact, new or freshly detailed vehicles are ideal for ceramic coating because the paint is still in great condition. It helps preserve that factory shine and prevents long-term wear. For leased vehicles, it can also reduce the chances of being charged for paint damage at the end of the lease, making it a smart investment if you want to protect your return value or buy the vehicle out later.

The lifespan depends on the type of coating and how well it’s maintained. Our professional graphene ceramic coating typically lasts between 2 and 9 years. Regular washing with ceramic-safe soap and avoiding harsh chemicals will help it perform longer. Compared to traditional waxes or sealants that last only weeks or months, ceramic coating gives you long-term value and year-round protection.
