What it does

Gloss you can keep clean.

Deep gloss

A hard, clear layer that sharpens reflections on paint and on PPF.

Easier washes

Dirt, bugs and road film have less to grip, so they rinse off with less scrubbing.

Water beads off

Water sheets and beads off instead of sitting on the paint and drying into spots.

Add it to any service

Pair it with the work you're already booking.

Over PPF

The most popular combo. The film takes the chips; the coating keeps the film glossy and easy to clean.

PPF packages

Over a wrap

Helps gloss, satin and matte wraps resist stains without changing the finish.

Wrap details

On its own

Paint is washed, decontaminated and corrected first, then coated. The coating locks in the finish underneath.

Know the difference

A coating isn't armor.

A ceramic coating makes a car look better and stay cleaner. It does not stop rock chips, door dings or deep scratches. That's what paint protection film is for. If your car sees the 210 every day, the smart setup is PPF on the front and a coating over everything.

We're a STEK Certified Installer. Ask us about coating over STEK film when you book your PPF.

Our process

Prep first. Coating second.

  1. 01
    WashA full exterior wash so no grit gets trapped under the film.
  2. 02
    DecontaminationWe pull out embedded iron and tar so the paint is truly clean.
  3. 03
    Paint correctionWe polish out swirls and light marks first. The film locks in whatever is underneath, so we make sure it's right.
  4. 04
    InstallThe coating is applied panel by panel and left to cure before the car goes home.
  5. 05
    Final checkWe inspect every edge under bright light before you pick up the car.

David is simply phenomenal at what he does. Not only that he's a great person to work with, he has great pricing, an infinite amount of options and will walk you through exactly what needs to be done and how the process works. I had my M440i wrapped in Satin Black PPF and there's not a single complaint I have. I let David know of a time frame in which I needed the work to be done because of work schedule and he got it done no problem. Not only that, a few months later someone scratched my car and took a small part of the ppf off and he got it fixed for me, free of charge, on the same day I contacted him. Needless to say, he is an amazing person, and does amazing work

We wanted matte PPF and ceramic window tint for our blue Model S and we couldn't be happier with the results! David was super helpful and responsive, accommodating us with car pick up service. He even kept us updated through the process with progress pictures. Amazing service for a great price! I highly recommend going here for any wraps

Took my 2025 Toyota 4Runner for a full front end PPF. It was my first time inquiring for their services and I'm extremely glad I went here!

I'm really detail-oriented with these type of projects and they definitely exceeded my expectations! The PPF job was as perfectly installed as it can be done. If you guys are familiar with how complicated these new 4Runners are, you'd understand that it's not an easy job.

I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends and family. I would totally go back here and get any wrap/PPF's done again on my other/future projects!

I highly recommend this business. Special shout-out to David who made the entire process smooth from start to finish. The wrap came out phenomenal. The attention to detail and turnaround time were both impressive. What impressed me most though, was their commitment to quality. During their final inspection they noticed a panel that didn't meet their own standards. Instead of letting it slide, they took the extra time to perfect it. This did add a few hours to the pickup, but they went above and beyond by personally delivering the car to me afterward, which I genuinely appreciated. It is rare to find a shop that emphasizes customer service in this way which is what makes motorsport wraps stand out. Recommend 100%

Questions

Ceramic coating questions, answered.

Is ceramic coating an add-on or a separate service?
Both. Most customers add it to a PPF, wrap or tint job so the car leaves fully protected, but you can book a coating on its own too.
Can you put ceramic coating on top of PPF?
Yes. A coating over paint protection film makes the film glossier, helps it shed water and dirt, and makes it easier to wash. It's one of the most popular add-ons we do.
Ceramic coating or PPF: which one do I need?
They do different jobs. PPF is a physical film that takes rock chips. A ceramic coating is a thin, hard layer that adds gloss and makes the car easier to clean, but it won't stop a rock chip. Many owners do both. Read our PPF vs ceramic coating guide.
Can you coat a vinyl wrap?
Yes. We can coat gloss, satin and matte wraps. A coating helps a wrap resist stains and makes it easier to clean without changing the finish.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
It depends on the car's size and the condition of the paint. Tell us your car and we'll quote it, or ask us to add it to your PPF or wrap quote.
Do you offer ceramic coating outside Monrovia?
Yes. We coat cars for drivers from Pasadena, Arcadia, Duarte, Sierra Madre, Azusa, Glendora and across the San Gabriel Valley. Drop the car off at our Monrovia shop.
