SF City Wash · Advanced Paint Protection

Ceramic
Coating

Permanent Protection ● Done Mobile

A liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your clear coat. Hydrophobic. UV-resistant. Lasts years, not weeks. We bring the full setup to your driveway, garage, or SF street spot.

Packages from $399 · iron decon + clay bar prep always included
12-Mo to 5-Year+ Coating Hydrophobic UV Resistant Full Prep Included Done at Your Location
A liquid polymer that bonds to your clear coat. Permanently.

Ceramic coating is not a wax, and it’s not a sealant. It’s a semi-permanent layer that chemically bonds to your paint, creating a surface that repels water, blocks UV, resists chemical etching, and stays cleaner between washes.

Wax washes off in weeks. A properly-applied ceramic coating lasts anywhere from 12 months to 5+ years depending on the system chosen and how the vehicle is maintained. We do it all mobile, at your driveway, garage, or a legal SF street spot.

Packages starting at $399 · includes full iron decontamination & clay bar prep.

How It Works

Every Coat Starts
With the Prep.

01
Iron decontamination chemical reaction on vehicle paint
Iron Decontamination
Chemical iron remover dissolves embedded rail dust and brake particles from the paint surface before any abrasive work begins.
02
Foam decontamination pre-wash on vehicle exterior
Foam Wash & Clay Bar
Full chemical foam pre-wash followed by clay bar treatment to remove bonded contaminants, leaving a perfectly clean substrate.
03
Paint correction with rotary polisher on white vehicle
Paint Correction
Optional 1–3 stage machine polish removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Required before coating for best long-term results.
04
Ceramic coating being applied with Gtechniq applicator pad
Ceramic Coat Application
Gtechniq-system ceramic coating applied panel by panel in controlled conditions. Leveled, flashed, and buffed to a glass-like finish.

Are Saying

“I’ve had my car detailed a dozen times by different services in SF. Nothing comes close to what SF City Wash did. They showed up with a whole setup, spent hours on it, and sent me before and after photos I didn’t even ask for. The car looks better than the day I bought it.”

“My dog basically lives in my car and the seats and carpet were absolutely destroyed. I’d been putting off dealing with it for months. They came to my driveway and completely transformed it. I could not believe it was the same interior. Would 100% recommend to anyone.”

“These guys showed up on time, were super professional, and the level of detail was insane. They got to parts of the car I didn’t even know were dirty. Had them do a full interior and exterior and it genuinely looks showroom-fresh. Booking again next month.”

Yes. We come to your home, office, garage, or legal street parking. We bring our own generator, water, pressure washer, and all equipment. You don’t need to provide anything.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s clear coat. It creates a semi-permanent hydrophobic layer that repels water, resists UV damage, shields against bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime, and keeps the car cleaner between washes. Unlike wax, it doesn’t wash away in weeks.
Depends on the product system and how you maintain the vehicle. Entry-level sealant systems last 12–18 months. Mid-range ceramic coatings last 2–3 years. Premium multi-layer systems with proper care can last 5 years or more.
Ceramic coating locks in the condition of your paint, so swirl marks and scratches will be preserved under the coating. If your paint has defects, we recommend at least a 1-stage polish before coating. We’ll advise based on your car’s condition.
Yes. We’ve detailed Range Rovers, Audi RS6 and RS7, Porsche GT3, Maserati, BMW 7 Series, and 1960s classic vehicles. We handle high-value vehicles regularly and treat every car accordingly.
Yes. Heavy pet hair, severe stains, embedded odors, and carpet restoration are some of our most requested jobs. We use professional-grade extractors and steam equipment to handle cases other detailers turn away.

SF City Wash · Owner-Operated
Meet the Owners

Not a Franchise.
Just Us.

SF City Wash is owner-operated, which means every job is done by us, personally. We started because we genuinely love cars and believed that professional-level detailing shouldn’t require dropping your car off across town and waiting around all day.

We come to your driveway, garage, or street spot. We photograph every car before and after. Not because we have to, but because we want you to see exactly what changed. If the result isn’t something we’re proud of, the job isn’t done.

We handle the jobs other detailers turn away. Heavy pet hair, severe staining, paint correction, ceramic coatings. Daily driver or weekend exotic, it all gets the same attention.
