What is a Ceramic Coating and How Does It Protect Your Paint?

Ceramic coatings are chemical solutions with a high concentration of silica-quartz that create a semi-permanent bond with the paint on the vehicle.  Once the coating is fully cured, it will not just wipe off like a wax or sealant.

The Problem: Why Your New Car's Finish Won't Last

Here are some problems you face: your new vehicle is expensive; you think the only time your vehicle will look great is when it’s brand new and it’s expensive to keep that image. 

 

You will be making payments for years to come which means you will have to accept the fact your vehicle is going to start showing age every day and every time you drive it.

Your vehicle will become faded, dirty and dull looking as time goes on and you will no longer be the center of attention since you don’t have the “new car.”

You could lease or buy a new car every other year but then you are losing thousands of dollars that could be spent on vacation, increased retirement savings, or funding your child’s education.

With a ceramic coating, you won’t have to go through the expense of leasing or buying a new vehicle every other year to have that ‘new’ vehicle look.

The Solution: A Bonded, Glass-Like Finish

Luckily for you, now there is a solution. 

Imagine turning heads for years to come by driving around in a car, truck or SUV that looks brand new because you invested in a ceramic coating. 

Not only will our ceramic coating keep your vehicle looking great, our ceramic coatings save you time and money while making your vehicle look great for years to come.

The Key Benefits of a Professional Ceramic Coating

Our Gyeon Certified Warranty: Transparency and Protection You Control

As a Gyeon Certified Installer, we provide a level of certified brand expertise and a manufacturer-backed warranty that offers unparalleled peace of mind. We believe your warranty should be as transparent and high-quality as the coating itself.

A Verifiable, Manufacturer-Registered Warranty

Unlike other warranties, your protection is registered directly with Gyeon. Upon completion of your service, you will receive an official Gyeon warranty card with the unique serial number from the exact bottle of coating applied to your vehicle. You can then register this serial number on Gyeon's third-party site. This provides absolute verification that you received a genuine, professional-grade product—a level of transparency you won't find elsewhere.

Protection on Your Terms: 5-Year or Lifetime

We put you in control of your vehicle's long-term care.

  • 5-Year Gyeon Warranty: Simply maintain the coating yourself by keeping the vehicle clean. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden requirements or mandatory annual check-ups to maintain your 5-year warranty.

  • Lifetime Gyeon Warranty: If you prefer us to handle the maintenance, visit us every two years (or 12,000 miles). This converts your warranty to a Lifetime guarantee.

The choice is always yours. We will never surprise you with required maintenance fees after the sale.
