Ceramic Coating
Our Packages
What is ceramic coating?
Think of it as a screen-protector for your paint.
Ceramic coating is a clear, semi-permanent layer that bonds chemically to your clear coat. Unlike wax that washes off in weeks, ceramic cures into the surface and stays there for 5+ years. Here's what that actually changes in day-to-day ownership.
01
Gloss that holds
Depth and shine stay sharp between washes - no fading from the Florida sun.
02
Water sheets off
Rain, rinse water, and grime release on contact. Less drying, fewer water spots.
03
Easier washes
A slick surface means dirt has nothing to grip. Most clients cut wash time in half.
04
Protection from Florida
UV, salt air, bug guts, mineral water — all kept off your factory paint.

YOUR VEHICLE DESERVES MORE THAN A BASIC WASH. MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.
Sun, salt, road grime, and bird droppings strip a factory finish faster than most owners realize. A professional ceramic coating bonds to your paint and gives you years of gloss, easier washes, and protection that wax never delivered.
"Can't I just keep waxing it?"
We hear this a lot and for some people, wax or a DIY spray sealant is genuinely fine. But here's who we usually see get the most out of professional ceramic coating, and what they're replacing.

Frequently Asked
How long does ceramic coating last?
Professional ceramic coating typically lasts 2 to 9 years depending on the formulation. At Elite Detailing we offer ceramic coating packages with tiered durability:
- 3 Year Coating -- Single layer, entry-level protection
- 5 Year Coating -- Single layer, enhanced durability
- 7 Year Coating -- 2-layer graphene application for deeper gloss
- 9 Year Coating -- Advanced graphene with self-healing and scratch-resistant properties
Lifespan depends on the product chosen, environmental exposure (Florida sun and salt are harsh), and proper maintenance like pH-neutral car washes every 2 weeks.
HHow much does ceramic coating cost in Florida?
Professional ceramic coating in Boca Raton typically ranges from $399 for an entry-level 3-year coating up to $2,999+ for a premium 9-year multi-layer coating with paint correction included. Pricing varies by vehicle size, the coating tier selected, and whether paint correction is needed to remove existing swirl marks before application.

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coating significantly reduces minor scratches and swirl marks from improper washing, but it is not bulletproof -- it will not stop rock chips or deep abrasions. For physical impact protection, paint protection film (PPF) is the right product. Many Elite Detailing clients pair PPF on high-impact areas with a ceramic coating layered on top for the best of both worlds.
How do I maintain a ceramic coated car?
Ceramic coating maintenance is minimal but important. Wash every 2 weeks with a pH-neutral shampoo using the two-bucket method, dry with a clean microfibre towel, and avoid automatic brush car washes. Apply a ceramic-safe spray detailer monthly to refresh hydrophobic properties. Avoid waxing -- it can degrade the coating. Book an annual inspection with Elite Detailing to keep your coating performing at its best.
