IS A CERAMIC COATING WORTH IT?

Ceramic coatings can be an excellent investment to protect your vehicle. Sticky residue from tree sap and bird droppings is hard to wash off without damaging the paint. Without a ceramic coating, your car is vulnerable to fading and rusting from sun exposure and seasonal elements. Ceramic coatings help prevent expensive repairs and boost your vehicle’s resale and trade-in value.

WHICH IS BETTER? CERAMIC COATING OR PPF?

It depends on your specific needs! Ceramic coatings provide full coverage with coating applied to wheels, lights, and windows. Paint Protection Film provides greater protection against rock chips, scratches, road debris. It is also self-healing in the sun! If you are looking for the best protection against rock chips and scratches--PPF! If you are looking for easy maintenance and cleaning--Ceramic Coating. OR, get the best of both worlds with BOTH! 

DO YOU EDGE WRAP YOUR PAINT PROTECTION FILM?

Yes! Here at Shade9 we edge-wrap everything that is possible! This provides you a seamless install that is near invisible! 

HOW LONG DOES A CERAMIC COATING LAST?

The durability and longevity of your ceramic coating greatly depends on the products used, layers of application, and after-care. Luckily, we only use the industry-leading Ceramic Pro products at our Shade9 location. These coatings have packages with warranties starting at 6 month, and ranging to our most popular Lifetime Warranty Package

WHAT PACKAGE DO MOST PEOPLE CHOOSE?

This question is one of our most popular, but it does vary greatly based on if your vehicle is daily driven or a weekender. Our most popular package or combo by volume here at Shade9 is our Deluxe Paint Protection Film Package (Full Hood, Full Fenders, Full Front Bumper, Mirror Caps) and Silver Ceramic Coating Package. We frequently combine both of these products for full coverage, and our personal choice for our vehicles.
