Ceramic Coating Service in San Antonio, TX

Give your beloved car a fresh start! Detail it with a new ceramic coating by the best of the best in town! But what exactly is a ceramic coat? A nano-ceramic coating system is an ultra-durable layer of glass covering every inch of your vehicle’s surface. This acts as a barrier between your paint and harmful elements on the road.

Think of it as a sacrificial layer on your car’s surface to safeguard the paint and clear coat underneath. If you live in an area where winter ice and snow are prominent, this protective layer will make those harsh chemicals easier to remove due to the coating’s hydrophobic properties. Moreover, it acts as an extra shield from environmental pollutants, tree sap, scratches from road salt, grime, dirt, industrial fallout dust, binding brake dust, and anything else that tries to ruin your car’s paint job. Overall, it helps your beloved ride stay cleaner longer!

Permanent Protection

While we know that you sit on the interior most of the time, the exterior also requires extra care. Our Ceramic coatings last up to a Lifetime with proper maintenance and care. We use the finest pro-grade 9H professional ceramic coatings by System X® Ceramics. This nano-technology will add incredible levels of depth to the paint along with reliable water repellent. Mirror Image Auto Detailing will apply the coating to the vehicle’s paint, glass, plastic trim, glass windows, rims and can even interior leather and fabrics if asked for.

How We Apply Ceramic Coatings

The application process can be very tedious to do without help, that is why Mirror Image Auto Detailing is here to take care of that for you! Mirror Image Auto Detailing also knows that adequate preparation is critical for a long-lasting coating on top of having the right equipment. That is why before every application, we make sure to understand everything about your car.

The first step is to resolve the car’s paint. We spend a lot of time correcting a vehicle’s exterior before applying the ceramic coat. When needed, we perform paint correction and address any minor scratches, unwanted marks, and faded paint on the surface before applying. The vehicle’s surface must be perfect before applying the base coat as the imperfections will be very hard to correct after the application of the first layer.

The Best Ceramic Coating For Cars

We use the finest pro-grade 9H professional ceramic coatings by System X® Ceramics. This nano ceramic coating product will add incredible levels of depth to the paint along with unbelievable water and dirt repellent and a rugged durability measured in years and is the best ceramic coating we have found and is comparable to ceramic pro. This ceramic coating product is applied to the vehicle’s paint, plastic trim, glass windows, rims and can even be added on top of paint protection film. Ceramic coatings will last 3 Years, 6 Years, or a Lifetime depending on chosen package and having proper maintenance. The price of the coating will vary depending on the condition of the vehicle’s paint, color of vehicle, and the size of vehicle. You can spend anywhere from $1,200-$2,500 depending on the scope of the project. We also offer a more affordable 14-18 month ceramic coating for cars starting at $599.

Maintaining Ceramic Coatings

For maintaining ceramic coatings we recommend you wash their car regularly utilizing a hand wash. Ceramic coatings on your vihicle require at least once a month maintenance for maximum protection and an enhanced gloss finish. We do not recommend you take your car through a tunnel car wash system as it will put swirl marks in the ceramic coating and ruin the paint job as well as integrity of the coating itself. We offer one free monthly maintenance cleaning for all of our customers who get a ceramic coating applied by Mirror Image Auto Detailing to get you started.

We recommend you to wash the car regularly for proper maintenance (Mirror Image Auto Detailing provides exterior and interior detailing services, check them out
here!)

We do not recommend you take your car through a tunnel car wash system as it will put swirl marks on the coating and void the warranty.

Ceramic Beading

Installing the Ceramic Coatings

When we finalize the correction process, our Mirror Image Auto Detailing technicians apply the System X® ceramic coating by hand with a one-inch soft foam applicator. We top off this coat with a special nano-ceramic sealant composed of silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide to give your car an extra layer of immunity. The last step is to ensure the ceramic coat cures for 6 hours to achieve a hydrophobic surface and a permanent bond.

A properly applied ceramic coat will show water beads (a phenomenon that occurs on the body paint when water droplets form on top of the painted surface instead of sticking). We make sure the coating is maintained in a controlled environment during the curing time to ensure proper bonding to the car’s paint.

Annual Inspections & Warranty

Annual Inspections must be carried out by an approved applicator, within 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the last service to maintain the warranty. Failure to undertake an annual inspection within the required period will void the warranty. A fee of $150 will be charged for the Annual Inspection, which includes – Exterior Wash, Decontamination, Application of Topcoat, and Inspection. Warranty terms can be found here (Click Here).
