Paint — the main one
Acidic deposits land on the coating instead of your clear coat, washing gets easier and safer, and the re-waxing cycle goes away.
Everything in the package guide is about this surface.
Paint is the main event, but wheels, glass and exterior trim all take a coating and all get a genuine benefit from one — wheels shed brake dust, glass sheds rain, trim stops fading.
The one people ask about most: yes, a wrapped car can be coated. We will clean, decontaminate where appropriate and protect a wrap or paint protection film. What we will not do is machine-polish one.
Ask when you book rather than assuming. Which surfaces are included depends on the job, and it is a conversation rather than a checkbox.

Wheels take the most aggressive contamination on the car: hot, sintered brake dust that embeds into the finish. A coating gives it nothing to bond to.
The practical result is wheels that clean with a rinse rather than a scrub, which in a city full of hills is a real difference.
A coated windscreen sheets water off at speed, which genuinely improves visibility in rain and reduces how much you need the wipers.
It also makes the inside film and bug residue far easier to remove.
Unpainted black plastic fades because UV breaks down its surface. A coating is a UV barrier that slows that down.
Worth doing on trim that is still black. Trim that has already gone grey needs restoring first.
We will wash, decontaminate where appropriate and protect a vinyl wrap or paint protection film. A coating over a wrap makes it far easier to keep clean and slows how fast it dulls.
We will not machine-polish a wrap or film. That is the honest line, and anyone who says otherwise is risking your wrap.
Fabric roofs are not coated the way paint is. They get a fabric-safe clean and a fabric protectant, which repels water and resists staining.
Same price as any car of that size — there is no soft-top surcharge.
People often ask for the interior to be "ceramic coated". What interiors actually get is a protective dressing on plastics and vinyl and a protectant on leather — different chemistry, different job, and priced as ordinary add-ons rather than as part of a coating package.
Interior protection is $25 on a sedan or midsize and $45 on a large vehicle. It holds off the fading and cracking that UV through glass does to a dashboard, which is the single most common irreversible interior damage on a car parked outside here.
Leather protection is $25 on a sedan or midsize and $45 on a large vehicle. It leaves a sacrificial layer that dye from new denim sits on top of instead of soaking into — the reason light-coloured leather in a family car is worth protecting before the transfer happens rather than after.
Neither of these is a ceramic coating and we are not going to market them as one. They are genuinely useful, they cost a fraction of a coating, and they address the damage that actually happens to interiors.
Some people want the wheels more than the paint. Some only care about the windscreen because they commute in the rain. Both are reasonable, and neither is the default.
Coating is quote-only, so the conversation about which surfaces are in scope happens before there is a price attached to it.
