Selling Your Car?
Higher Re-Sale Value!
After installation of our coatings, your vehicles value will organically increase! This added value to your vehicle is due to the added protection; this will also be reflected on your Carfax report.
Even if not selling your car, the coating still adds value. If you were in a car accident, often times insurance will cover the replacement coating or cost of the initial install!
ABSOLUTELY! Our coatings provide superior protection to the elements such as UV Rays, Dirt, Pollen, Pollutants and much more!
After installation, your vehicle will look brand new, and have a new and unmatched level of protection that will last for a years to come!
Hydrophobic means our coatings literally hate water...hydro (water) + phobic (intolerant/repulsed by) means that your cars paint will no longer be friendly with water.
How does this affect your car? In short, it largely keeps itself clean. Seriously.
Dirt, water, and elements roll right off allowing longer periods between washes. Plus, when you do wash it, the repellent coating causes the water to essentially bind to whatever dirt there may be making for an easy wash/rinse!
Ceramic Coatings provide your vehicle with an unparalleled & glossy shine that will last for years. We prefer to perfect your paint prior to installing our coating, giving your paint the best look it's ever had! This, plus the glassy/glossy layers of coating, create a shine like no other!
You might get paranoid everyone is staring at you, which they aren't. They are staring at your car.
We spend a generous amount of time getting the paint back to that new car appearance prior to coating. Your vehicle will undergo a delicate and hands-on treatment by our certified professionals known as paint correction.
We eliminate scratches, blemishes, and swirl marks and restore your paint to its original condition. Once it looks brand new again, we coat it.
The value of ceramic coatings go beyond the pleasurable aesthetics and shine of the paint. The added protection extends the life of everything it touches! Whether talking about the prevention of paint fatigue/failure, to the life of your interior, ceramics hold a place of protection for all it touches.
Obviously, right? Coating your exterior locks out the elements (UV rays, oxygen, dirt, water, pollutants) while locking IN the life of your paint. In addition to adding years of life to the exterior, you'll have a glossy shine that is showroom ready with little upkeep and washing required
No need to worry after a rain or hitting a mudhole! The hydrophobic coatings will ensure a lasting new tire appearance while repelling dirt, water, brake dust, and grime off the surfaces.
SystemX are chemically formulated to protect and promote the longevity of all trim and plastics (inside out out). Fading, scratches, cracks, and material breakdown will be a thought of the past once coated.
After application, your glass will not only be shielded from the elements but will also experience increased visibility in inclement weather conditions, reducing the burden on your windshield wipers. Plus, our protection is long lasting.
Application of our eco-friendly and invisible interior ceramics will provide the same protection of blocking out elements while locking in a clean and new interior appearance. Water stains, coffee spills, and those sweaty athletic clothes will no longer contaminate or penetrate the interior of your vehicle.

HOW DO CERAMIC COATINGS WORK?
Ceramic coatings are chemically created to bond with the deepest levels of your paint forming an invisible shield locking out daily hazards, while locking in a vehicle that looks better than new!
Ceramic coatings, once cured, provide a glass like shield that is bonded with the deepest levels of your paint. They are highly heat resistant, which allows the coating to block out UV rays seeking to damage and fade your paint, while locking in the new car like appearance of your vehicle. Additionally, our ceramic coatings are extremely hydrophobic, which means chemically speaking they hate water! This is a good thing as any time water hits the surface it beads and rolls off clearing off any dirt or debris with it.
Ceramic coatings are very different than that of a wax, or even a sealant.
1. True ceramic coatings molecularly bond to the deepest levels of paint, creating a barrier that lasts for years if cared for properly. The majority of waxes/sealants will only last a few months, maximum.
2. C6 Ceramic coatings create a surface that repels and blocks out UV Rays - this prevents what is known as oxidation and fading, which means your paint will always look fresh.
3. Coatings produce a highly repellent, hydrophobic surface, where dirt, dust, debris, etc. is unable to adhere to the surface. AND...due to the hydrophobic properties, they will easily rinse off - no more deep scrubs needed!
We can go more in depth on this, but its pretty simple - ceramic coatings are far superior and last much longer than waxes.
Ceramic coatings create a hard glass like surface that is bonded to the deepest levels of your paint. This prevents many hazards from reaching and damaging your paint. It can even prevent light scratches as well, but the main protective nature of coatings lies more in the chemical realm. Coatings are extremely hydrophobic, which means they repel water. This prevents any form of moisture from ever reaching or contaminating your paint. Things like acid rain, chemically polluted liquids, bird droppings, brake dust, etc will never have a chance to damage or stain your paint.
Coatings are also excellent at preserving paint integrity by repelling UV rays, thus enhancing the life of your paint, preventing paint fade, breakdown, and general failure.
Ceramic coatings are not the same as paint protection film (PPF), which means they do not prevent rock chips and deep scratches.
This is best answered in two parts:
1. Who applied the coating?
Just as not all coatings are the same, nor are two installers the same. Although, we have a deep respect for others, we far too often seen failed applications from other installers due to improper preparation, rushed application, and then poor education on upkeep/maintenance. We spend hours in the preparation phase alone, to ensure appropriate bonding during application and further longevity of the coating.
2. How is it cared for?
Ceramic coatings make your life much simpler when it comes to upkeep and caring for your car. As with everything, they also need some TLC of their own. Coatings are not designed to be ran through run of the mill car washes - those bristles are basically applying a light sanding to your paint each time you go through, and over time will wear the coating down. We spend time educating you on how to ensure your C6 coating lasts a lifetime.
Great question. See above 😉
