Ceramic Coating in Fuquay-Varina & Raleigh, NC

Four levels, hand-installed by the owner. We recommend the one your car actually needs.

A ceramic coating bonds to your paint instead of sitting on top of it the way wax and sealants do. Water and dirt slide off, the gloss stays, and a wash takes half the time — for years, not months.

Every coating here is installed by the owner, one vehicle a day, at our studio in south Raleigh where the lighting and environment are controlled. We don't sell the most expensive level; we ask how the car lives and recommend the one that fits.

What customers say about ceramic coating.

Verbatim. Picked because they mention this kind of work.

“Jeff did an absolutely fantastic job detailing my Porsche Macan. His professionalism and attention to detail was very impressive. When he was done the car looked brand new like it had just come straight off the dealership lot. He took his time to make sure every inch was spotless both inside and out. The convenience of having a mobile detailer come to me made the experience even better. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for top-quality detailing work. I’ll definitely be using his services again!”

“I had an absolutely amazing experience with AutoGloss! They removed overspray from my car that I honestly thought would never come off, and the results were incredible. My car looks even better now than when I first purchased it from the dealership. Jeff was fantastic to work with—friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the process and made me feel confident that my car was in great hands. The overspray is completely gone, and the finish looks flawless. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend AutoGloss to anyone looking for top-quality car detailing. You won’t be disappointed!”

Why there's no warranty

Coating warranties are written by manufacturers and require an annual visit where most of the coating is polished off and re-topped. Coatings that need a topper every year aren't the coatings we'd put on our own cars. We install one rated for the life of the vehicle, show you how to wash it, and offer a maintenance wash that adds nothing on top.

How it works

The process.

  1. 01

    Tell us how you live with the car

    Garage or driveway? Hand wash or tunnel? How long are you keeping it? What do you actually want out of a coating? Five minutes by phone or text.

  2. 02

    We recommend one level

    Not the most expensive one — the right one for how the car gets used. Then we talk price by vehicle size.

  3. 03

    Correction, then coating, by hand

    Your paint is machine-polished to remove swirls and baked-in contamination, then gets a second adhesion-promoter polish that opens the pores of the paint and strips any remaining oils. The number one thing that makes a coating last is a surgically clean surface.

  4. 04

    You get a car and a wash routine

    We show you how to maintain it. No toppers, no annual re-application, no fine print.

Questions

Ceramic Coating questions.

Why don't you offer a warranty?
Coating warranties are written by manufacturers and require an annual maintenance visit where most of the coating is polished off and re-topped. Coatings that need a topper every year aren't the coatings we'd put on our own cars. We install one rated for the life of the vehicle, show you how to wash it, and offer a maintenance wash that adds nothing on top.
So what actually determines how long it lasts?
How the car is treated, more than the level you buy. A garage-kept car washed properly can make a 1-year coating last far longer than its rating; a car run through an automated tunnel wash every other week can finish off a lifetime coating in a year. Abrasion is the number one killer of a ceramic coating — which is why we hand you a wash routine instead of a warranty card.
What does "rated up to 8 years" mean?
It's the manufacturer's laboratory durability figure under average conditions — the point at which a coating fully fractures. Level 3 uses an additive that eliminates fracturing, which is why it's rated for the life of the vehicle. None of it is a guarantee, and we don't dress it up as one.
Can you coat my car at my house?
Level 1 and our 1-Year Graphene spray coating ($300), yes. Levels 2 through 4 need the studio's controlled lighting and environment.
Will a coating stop rock chips?
No. That's paint protection film, which we refer to Yellow Jacket Tinting. A coating resists chemicals, UV and light marring and keeps the car easy to clean.
Do you coat motorcycles, boats and RVs?
Yes — motorcycles start at $1,100 for the Premium coating on every surface, and boats and RVs are quoted by size through the online shop.
