Ceramic Coating in Waxhaw, NC
That Looks Dipped in Glass
Professionally installed System X® ceramic coatings with manufacturer-backed warranties up to 10 years, applied at your home or office. No shop drop-off, no loaner car, no waiting room.
Carolina roads are rough on paint
Spring pollen, summer sun, lovebugs, tree sap, bird droppings, and that famous red clay. Wax gives up in weeks. A System X® ceramic coating bonds to your clear coat and becomes a harder, glossier, ultra-slick layer that can't be washed off.
The result: deeper color, water that beads and rolls right off, and a car that stays cleaner longer and washes in half the time.
Blocks the sun damage that fades and chalks paint.
Acidic messes sit on the coating, not your clear coat.
Rain, pollen and road grime slide right off.
Dirt releases fast, so upkeep takes minutes.

Do you really do this in my driveway?
Yes. We're a fully mobile detailer. We bring the equipment to your home or office in Waxhaw, Marvin, Weddington, Wesley Chapel, Ballantyne and South Charlotte. A garage or shaded spot is ideal. Ask us about your setup when you book.
Is the coating really permanent?
Think of System X® as adding another clear coat that's glossier, harder and more chemical resistant than the factory one. It's permanent in the same sense your clear coat is permanent. How long it lasts depends on conditions, washing and maintenance, which is why the warranty includes a yearly inspection. More on how long ceramic coating lasts.
Does ceramic coating stop scratches and rock chips?
It resists light swirls and marring and makes paint much harder to damage from bird droppings, sap and UV. It does not stop rock chips, scratches from keys, or collision damage. That's what paint protection film is for. Read does ceramic coating prevent scratches.
Does my paint need to be corrected first?
For the best result, yes. System X requires machine polishing on vehicles over 3 months old for the warranty, and a coating locks in whatever is underneath, swirls included. If your paint lacks a clear coat, it should be addressed by a body shop first. See paint correction for new cars.
How do I wash a coated car?
Wash about every two weeks with a mild, pH-neutral soap, out of direct sun, and dry it with a microfiber towel. Touchless car washes are fine. Avoid brush car washes and harsh bug and tar removers. You can top it with System X Renew™ after the coating has cured at least 4 days.
How fast should I remove bird droppings?
As soon as you can. Soak the spot with water, then gently wipe it off. Don't scrape.
What does the warranty require?
System X warranties must be registered within 30 days of application and kept active with a yearly inspection from an approved installer. We handle the registration with you and schedule your yearly inspection so your coverage never lapses.
