Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle’s exterior surfaces that chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a protective, hydrophobic layer. It enhances gloss, repels water and dirt, and protects against UV damage, oxidation, and minor scratches.

The lifespan of ceramic coating depends on the product and application quality. At Vortex Detailing, we offer System X® Ceramic Coatings with options lasting from 2 years to a lifetime warranty.
