No. Both films are metal-free, so they won’t interfere with your phone, GPS or radio.

Give it 3 to 5 days. Wait at least 7 days before cleaning the glass, and when you do, skip anything with ammonia or alcohol in it.

Yes. While the film cures it can look hazy or streaky, or show small water blisters. That goes away on its own, usually within 1 to 4 weeks depending on temperature and how much sun the car gets. If something hasn’t cleared after that, call us.

Sport runs $449 to $549, Bronze $1,398 to $1,798, Silver $1,598 to $2,198 and Gold $2,098 to $2,898. Your price depends on vehicle size and condition. See our ceramic coating packages.

Sport protects the paint only. Bronze, Silver and Gold also coat your plastics, wheels and glass, with more layers and a longer Ceramic Pro warranty as you go up.

Sport is covered for 6 months. Bronze is 2 years, Silver is 5 years and Gold is lifetime. Bronze, Silver and Gold need an annual service with a Ceramic Pro installer, within 30 days of your anniversary date. Sport doesn’t.

The warranty drops to 5 years on Gold, 2 years on Silver or 1 year on Bronze, measured from your last consecutive inspection.

On paint: oxidation, bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap and UV damage. Wheels and rims: oxidation and environmental staining. Interior: permanent stains and UV damage. PPF, vinyl and glass: water beading.

Hard water spots, swirl marks, marring, scratches, scuffs, scrapes and chips. Stone chips and other impact damage. Damage from wash brushes, abrasive cloths or sponges. Workmanship issues like high spots and streaks.

Gloss keeps your paint looking like it does now, with extra shine. Matte gives gloss paint a satin look. Both come in every coverage package.

Light scratches in the film self-heal with heat. Deep cuts, tears and impact damage don’t heal and aren’t covered by the warranty.

If it has swirls or scratches, yes. The film seals in whatever is under it, so we recommend fixing the paint before it goes on. See paint correction.

Spot polish is priced by the number of spots. Full correction depends on the package, your vehicle’s size and the condition of the paint. Call (978) 594-1860 and we’ll give you a real number.

No. Correction takes out swirls and scratches that sit in the clear coat. Scratches that go through the clear coat, rock chips and peeling clear can’t be polished out. We’ll show you what will come out before we start.

Book a time or call. We look at the paint in person and recommend spot polish or 1, 2 or 3 steps based on what we see.

Every polishing stage removes a small amount of clear coat. That’s why more steps aren’t always better, and why we recommend only what your paint needs.

It’s the best time for one. A Ceramic Pro coating goes on right after correction and seals in the finish. See our ceramic coating packages.

It depends on how much chrome your car has and how far you want to go. Call (978) 594-1860 or get a quote and we’ll price your vehicle.

Yes. Plenty of people just want the badges and the grille, or just the trim. Pick what you want and we’ll quote that.

State inspection requires light lenses to be intact and unobstructed, so tinted lights can fail inspection. We’ll tell you that up front, and the film can be removed.

No. Everything we do is film or vinyl over the factory finish. It comes off without taking paint with it.

Yes. We don’t paint or powder coat anything, so every piece we black out can be taken back to stock.
