Certified Coatings, Lasting Results
Why Ceramic Coating Is the Right Investment for Your Vehicle
Most vehicle care products sit on top of your paint and wear away within weeks or months. Ceramic coating works differently. Once applied to your vehicle's clear coat, it forms a durable, semi-permanent bond that delivers deep gloss, hydrophobic water-beading performance, and UV resistance that holds up over time rather than fading after a few washes.
At Ace of Spades, every ceramic coating appointment begins with a Level 1 paint correction to ensure the coating bonds to the most refined surface possible. Every package comes backed by a warranty, and whether you are protecting a daily driver or preserving a classic, our team brings the same precision to every vehicle.

What Is Ceramic Coating?
What Ceramic Coating Does for Your Vehicle
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that, when applied to a vehicle's exterior, chemically bonds with the clear coat to form a durable, semi-permanent layer, delivering deep gloss, hydrophobic water-beading behavior, and meaningful UV resistance.
A Better Finish That Lasts
Unlike wax or sealants that break down within months, ceramic coating integrates with the clear coat at a molecular level. The result is a finish that lasts significantly longer, requires less maintenance, and consistently looks better than an uncoated vehicle.
The Ace of Spades Ceramic Coating Process
A ceramic coating application requires careful preparation, skilled hands, and the right products. At Ace of Spades, every step is deliberate and every vehicle receives the same standard of care.
Wash and Decontamination
Every coating begins with a thorough wash and full decontamination to remove embedded contaminants that would otherwise interfere with the coating's bond.
Level 1 Paint Correction
Our team performs a Level 1 paint correction before any coating is applied, ensuring the clear coat is as smooth and refined as possible.
Ceramic Application
Our certified technicians apply the coating panel by panel, working methodically to ensure complete and consistent coverage across every surface.
How Ceramic Coating Changes the Way You
Maintain Your Vehicle
Water Beads and Rolls Off
The hydrophobic layer causes water to bead up and roll off rather than sitting on the paint, reducing water spotting and making wash days faster.
Contaminants Have Less to Cling To
A smooth, sealed surface makes it significantly harder for dirt, road grime, and insect residue to bond to your paint.
Show-Quality Appearance, Less Effort
The combination of a sealed surface and active water-shedding behavior keeps your vehicle looking freshly detailed far longer.
Undercoating and Corrosion Control
Protection That Goes Beneath the Surface
Ace of Spades also offers professional undercoating services for drivers who want comprehensive care from the inside out. This anti-corrosion treatment creates a durable barrier between your frame and the salt, moisture, and road grime that cause long-term damage in coastal environments.
Performance Backed by Science
Our undercoating has passed a 6,000-hour salt spray test, certified to ASTM standards, translating to approximately 10 years of real-world corrosion resistance per 100 test hours.
The Right Time to Add Undercoating
Pairing undercoating with a ceramic coating appointment means your vehicle is covered from the clear coat all the way down to the undercarriage. Ask about our undercoating package starting at $699 when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ceramic Coating
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Longevity depends on the package selected and how the vehicle is maintained. All three levels include warranty coverage. Proper washing with pH-neutral products and avoiding brush car washes will maximize the coating's life.
Will ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coating adds a hardened layer to your clear coat that provides some resistance to light surface marks, but it does not prevent scratches the way paint protection film does. For chip and scratch resistance, we recommend exploring our PPF packages.
Why does ceramic coating include paint correction?
Ceramic coating bonds directly to the clear coat, locking in whatever condition the surface is in at the time of application. Paint correction ensures the coating is applied over the most refined surface possible, which directly improves the final appearance and longevity.
