Find a Ceramic Pro is an independent service designed to make finding and comparing ceramic coating professionals easier.

Tell us about your vehicle, what you're looking for, and where you're located. We'll use that information to connect your request with participating ceramic coating professionals serving your area.

Instead of contacting shops one at a time, you can potentially hear from multiple professionals and compare pricing, packages, products, experience, and availability before deciding who you'd like to work with.

No. Find a Ceramic Pro is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with Ceramic Pro® or its installer network.

The term "ceramic pro" on this website refers to a professional who provides ceramic coating services.

Participating professionals are independent businesses and may use ceramic coating products from manufacturers of their choosing.

No.

We don't believe choosing a ceramic coating professional should simply come down to the name printed on a bottle.

Participating professionals are free to use the products and coating systems they believe are appropriate for their businesses and customers.

Installer experience, preparation, application technique, reputation, customer service, and setting realistic expectations can all be important parts of a quality installation.

Find a Ceramic Pro was built with input from multiple automotive appearance professionals with more than a decade of industry experience.

We've seen firsthand how confusing shopping for ceramic coating can become. Different brands make different claims, professionals offer dramatically different packages, prices vary, and consumers often aren't sure what they're actually comparing.

Find a Ceramic Pro was created to make that process simpler.

We're not a coating manufacturer trying to convince you that one particular product is the answer.

Find a Ceramic Pro focuses on connecting consumers with independent professionals and giving you the opportunity to compare your options.

Our goal is to make shopping for ceramic coating simpler, more transparent, and less dependent on marketing hype.

The process is simple.

Tell us about your vehicle, where you're located, and the type of ceramic coating service you're interested in. We use that information to match your request with participating ceramic coating professionals serving your area.

Available professionals can then contact you directly with quotes, package information, availability, and answers to your questions.

You compare your options and decide who, if anyone, you'd like to work with.

That's our goal.

When multiple participating professionals are available in your area, your request may be shared with several professionals who can contact you directly with pricing, package options, availability, and information about their services.

The number of participating professionals varies by location, so we cannot guarantee a specific number of quotes.

There is no obligation to choose any of the professionals who contact you.

Your request may be shared with participating ceramic coating professionals serving your area.

Those professionals can contact you directly by phone, text, or email to discuss your vehicle and provide pricing, package options, availability, or additional information.

From there, you can compare your options, ask questions, and decide which professional is the best fit for you.

For most people, about a minute.

We ask for basic information about you, your vehicle, your location, and the service you're interested in. This helps us match your request with professionals who actually serve your area.

No.

There is no charge for consumers to request quotes or use Find a Ceramic Pro to connect with participating professionals.

No.

Requesting quotes does not obligate you to purchase anything.

You can compare the professionals, pricing, packages, products, and availability you receive and decide whether any of them are right for you.

You absolutely can contact individual shops yourself.

Find a Ceramic Pro is designed to make comparison shopping easier.

Instead of searching for professionals individually, filling out multiple forms, and contacting shops one at a time, you can submit your vehicle information once and potentially hear from multiple professionals serving your area.

No.

Participating professionals are independently owned and operated businesses. They are not employees, franchises, agents, or representatives of Find a Ceramic Pro.

Each professional determines their own services, products, pricing, warranties, availability, preparation procedures, and installation processes.

We believe there is much more to a quality ceramic coating installation than carrying a particular coating brand.

Experience, reputation, quality of work, professionalism, customer service, business practices, and how accurately a professional represents the capabilities and limitations of ceramic coatings can all matter.

Our goal is to connect consumers with professionals who take their work and their customers seriously.

Not necessarily.

Product certification can provide useful brand-specific training, but certification alone doesn't tell you everything about an installer.

Experience, workmanship, preparation procedures, reputation, customer service, and knowledge of automotive appearance care can also be important.

No.

Participating professionals are independent businesses.

One may offer a paint-only package while another may offer coatings for paint, wheels, exterior glass, plastics, or other surfaces. Preparation procedures, coating longevity, warranties, and included services can also differ.

That's one reason comparing more than just the advertised price can be valuable.

No.

Find a Ceramic Pro helps connect consumers with independent professionals. Any service agreement you enter into is directly between you and the professional you choose.

Before scheduling, we encourage you to understand what's included, preparation procedures, coating coverage, maintenance requirements, warranty terms, and expected results.

A professionally installed ceramic coating can provide increased gloss, chemical resistance, hydrophobic properties, and a surface that's generally easier to clean and maintain.

It can also eliminate the need for traditional waxing while the coating continues to perform properly.

Exactly how a coating performs and how long it lasts depends on the product, preparation, installation, environment, maintenance, and how the vehicle is used.

No.

Ceramic coatings should not be confused with physical protective films. A coating can provide certain protective benefits, but it does not make automotive paint scratch-proof.

Your vehicle can still be scratched after being ceramic coated.

No.

Ceramic coatings are extremely thin and aren't designed to absorb impacts from rocks or road debris.

If preventing rock chips is a major priority, paint protection film may be a better product to discuss with a professional.

No.

Ceramic coatings can make a surface highly hydrophobic, but water can still contain minerals and contaminants.

If that water dries on the vehicle, those minerals can remain behind and potentially create water spots.

No.

Your vehicle still needs to be washed and maintained after ceramic coating.

A major benefit of ceramic coating is making routine cleaning and maintenance easier, not eliminating maintenance altogether.

Traditional waxing generally isn't necessary while a ceramic coating is performing properly.

Your professional may recommend specific maintenance products or periodic services designed to maintain the coating instead.

You should ask the professional who installs your coating for their specific maintenance requirements.

Many professionals recommend avoiding traditional automatic car washes that use brushes or other materials that physically contact the paint because those systems can introduce scratches and swirl marks.

There isn't one universal price.

Pricing can vary based on vehicle size, vehicle condition, preparation required, coating coverage, coating longevity, geographic market, professional experience, and the package being purchased.

Requesting quotes through Find a Ceramic Pro gives participating professionals the information they need to provide pricing for your actual vehicle.

Two services advertised as "ceramic coating" can include very different amounts of work.

One professional may include extensive cleaning, decontamination, machine polishing, surface preparation, multiple coated surfaces, and follow-up support. Another package may include substantially less.

When comparing quotes, look at what's actually included rather than comparing only the final price.

Not necessarily.

Price matters, but it isn't the only thing worth comparing.

Consider the professional's experience, reputation, preparation process, coating coverage, products, maintenance requirements, warranty terms, and exactly what's included in the quoted price.

The least expensive and most expensive quotes aren't automatically the worst or best options.

No.

A higher price doesn't automatically mean a better installation, just as a lower price doesn't automatically mean poor workmanship.

Understanding what you're actually receiving is more useful than judging a service by price alone.

Brand can be one consideration, but we don't believe it should be the only one.

A premium product installed poorly is still a poor installation.

The professional preparing and applying the coating plays a significant role in the final result.

Don't compare only the advertised number of years.

Look at preparation, paint correction or polishing, surfaces being coated, coating products, maintenance requirements, warranty terms, installer experience, reviews, customer service, and what's included in the total price.

If one quote is dramatically different from another, ask why.

Yes.

You don't need to wait until a vehicle is older to ceramic coat it.

Even new vehicles can have contamination, minor paint defects, dealership-installed products, or other conditions that should be addressed before coating.

Yes.

An older vehicle may simply require additional preparation or paint correction before the coating is installed.

A professional can evaluate the vehicle's condition and discuss what preparation makes sense based on your expectations.

Yes.

Find a Ceramic Pro can help connect you with professionals for cars, trucks, SUVs, luxury vehicles, performance vehicles, and other passenger vehicles.

Availability depends on the professionals serving your area.

Some participating professionals may work on RVs, boats, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Include what you're looking to have coated when submitting your request so we can determine whether participating professionals are available.

Our primary focus is professional ceramic coating.

Some participating professionals may also provide detailing, paint correction, paint protection film, window tint, or other automotive appearance services, but those aren't the primary purpose of Find a Ceramic Pro.

If you're only looking for general detailing rather than ceramic coating, this service may not be the best place to begin your search.

You don't need to become a ceramic coating expert before purchasing one.

You should understand what preparation is included, which surfaces are being coated, what results you should realistically expect, how long the professional needs your vehicle, what maintenance is required, and what any warranty actually covers.

A good professional should be comfortable answering those questions.

Ceramic coating can make sense for someone who values appearance, easier maintenance, increased chemical resistance, hydrophobic properties, and eliminating the need for traditional waxing.

It may not be the right purchase for someone expecting a maintenance-free vehicle or protection against scratches, rock chips, and every possible water spot.

Understanding both the benefits and limitations before purchasing is important.

Compare more than price.

Look at their experience, reviews, examples of their work, how they answer your questions, what's included in their packages, what preparation they perform, the products they use, maintenance requirements, warranties, and whether they're setting realistic expectations.

Ultimately, choose the professional you're most comfortable trusting with your vehicle.
