What ceramic coating does
A ceramic coating is a liquid nano-polymer that bonds to your car’s clear coat and hardens into a protective layer. It protects against four things that damage paint in Ontario.
- Road salt: the coating keeps salt and winter grime from bonding to the paint.
- Oxidation and UV: the layer slows fading and dulling from sun exposure.
- Environmental damage: bird droppings and tree sap wash off more easily.
- Swirls: the hard surface protects against light wash marks.
The coating also makes water bead and roll off, and it leaves the paint glossy. Unlike wax, which lasts weeks, a ceramic coating lasts years.

Choose by how long you plan to keep the car.

- 7-Year (C$999): the best-value option for owners who keep a car for the long term.
- 10-Year (C$1,399): the longest protection, for a car you plan to keep for a decade.
What is included in the paint prep wash
Every coating starts with a paint prep wash, because the coating bonds to bare clear coat.
- Exterior hand wash using the two-bucket method
- Chemical decontamination
- Iron remover
- Clay bar treatment
- Rims thoroughly cleaned
Ceramic coating and paint correction
A ceramic coating seals in the paint’s current condition, so swirl marks under the coating stay there. We recommend paint correction before coating when the paint has visible swirls or scratches. Stage 1 starts at C$200 and Stage 2 starts at C$400.
How the coating is applied
- Prep wash: wash, iron remover, decontamination and clay.
- Paint correction (optional): polish out swirls and light scratches.
- Coating: apply the nano-brite coating panel by panel.
- Cure: the coating hardens and bonds to the clear coat.

Why ceramic coating suits Ontario
Oakville drivers face winter road salt and strong summer UV. Salt dulls paint quickly, and UV fades colour over time. A coating gives your paint a barrier against both, so rain brings the shine back and the car washes faster.
