What a ceramic coating does, and what it doesn't
A ceramic coating is a liquid that bonds to your clear coat and cures into a thin, hard layer. Once it has cured, water and dirt have a harder time sticking, washing gets quicker, and the paint underneath is shielded from sun and minerals.
It is not armor. A coating won't stop rock chips on I-15 and it won't hide scratches that are already there. For chips you want paint protection film on the front end. We'll tell you plainly if that is the better spend for your car.
Where a coating earns its keep in Draper is against the two things that age paint fastest here: strong sun at elevation and hard sprinkler water. Both do their damage slowly, and both are much easier to deal with on a coated car.

Paint correction comes first
Whatever is on the paint when the coating goes on stays there for years. Swirl marks from tunnel washes, light scratches, water spot etching: all of it gets locked in. So we fix the paint before we coat it.
Correction is machine polishing. We measure and inspect the paint under bright lights, pick the least aggressive pad and polish that will do the job, and work one panel at a time. A newer car that has been looked after may need a single stage. A black car that has seen years of automatic washes usually needs two or three.
You can also book paint correction on its own. Plenty of owners do it before selling, or just to get a daily driver looking the way it did when it was new.
How the job runs at your house
- 1. Wash and decontaminate. Foam wash, iron remover and a clay bar, so there's nothing on the surface but paint.
- 2. Inspect and correct. Machine polish under inspection lights until the swirls and etching are gone.
- 3. Wipe down. A panel prep spray removes polishing oils so the coating can bond to bare clear coat.
- 4. Coat. The coating goes on in small sections and is leveled by hand before it flashes.
- 5. Cure. The car stays dry and inside while the coating sets up. We tell you exactly how long before it can get wet.
Zazz 7H or 10H
We use Zazz coatings, which come in a 7H and a 10H version. When we quote, we ask how the car is used, where it's parked and how you wash it, then recommend one. A weekend car that sleeps in the garage and a daily driver parked outside at the office don't need the same thing.
Wheels, glass and trim can be coated at the same visit. Coated wheels are the upgrade people thank us for later, because brake dust rinses off instead of baking on.
Looking after a coated car
Hand wash it with a pH-neutral soap, or have us do it. Skip the tunnel wash brushes. If sprinklers hit the car, rinse or wipe the spots off the same day so the minerals don't sit in the sun. In winter, rinse the salt off the lower panels every week or two.
That's the whole routine. We leave you written care instructions, and we offer maintenance washes if you'd rather not think about it.
Questions about ceramic coating and paint correction in Draper
Do you need a garage to apply a ceramic coating?
A closed garage is strongly preferred. The coating has to stay clean, dry and out of direct sun while it cures. If you don't have garage space, tell us when you ask for a quote and we'll work out whether your setup and the forecast allow it.
Is my new car ready for a coating, or does it need correction too?
Most new cars still need a light polish. They pick up marks at the port, on the truck and during dealer prep. We inspect the paint first and only quote the correction it needs.
Can you coat a car that has paint protection film?
Yes. Coatings go over film as well as paint, and it makes the film easier to keep clean.
How long will you be at my house?
Correction and coating is our longest job. Plan on most of a day, and sometimes a second day for larger vehicles or heavier correction. We give you the schedule with your quote.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Draper?
It depends on the size of the vehicle, how much correction the paint needs and which coating you choose. Send the form or text us photos and we'll give you an exact price before booking.
