01
Thorough Wash & Decontamination
Professional wash, wheel and tire cleaning, chemical decontamination and clay treatment where needed to remove bonded contamination.
Long-Term Paint Protection
Ceramic Coating
One coating service, done properly. Every vehicle receives the preparation and paint refinement needed before a professional 5-year coating is installed.
Our Approach
No “quick coating” packages.
A ceramic coating is only worth installing if the paint underneath it is properly cleaned, decontaminated and refined first. Detail VA does not offer stripped-down coating packages that skip the work the finish actually needs.
02
Paint Evaluation
The finish is inspected for swirls, haze, wash marring and other defects so the correction process matches the actual condition of the paint.
03
Necessary Paint Correction
Machine polishing is performed to the level needed to improve clarity and remove realistic defects before the coating locks the finish in.
04
5-Year Ceramic Coating
A professional 5-year coating is applied only after the paint is properly prepared, leaving a glossier, easier-to-maintain and better-protected finish.
What To Expect
The coating is the final step — not the whole service.
The majority of the result comes from the preparation. A coating will preserve the condition underneath it, which is why proper decontamination and paint correction are treated as part of the job rather than optional upsells.

Typical Investment
$1,200–$2,000+
Most properly prepared 5-year coating jobs fall somewhere in this range. Final pricing depends on the vehicle and how much work is required before the coating can be installed correctly.
What affects the price?
- Vehicle size
- Current paint condition
- Amount of bonded contamination
- Depth of swirl marks, haze and other defects
- How much machine correction is required
Vehicles with heavily neglected or damaged paint may require more extensive correction and can exceed the typical range.
Ceramic Coating Quote
Tell us about the vehicle.
Because preparation varies significantly from one vehicle to another, ceramic coating work is quoted individually instead of sold as a one-click package.
For the most accurate estimate, include the year, make, model, approximate paint condition and any defects you are concerned about.
