Ceramic Coating for Cars That Keeps Your Vehicle Looking New

July 30, 2025

 

At Top Tier Detailing, we know that your car is more than just a ride, it’s an investment, a reflection of your style, and something you want to keep in top condition. That’s why we specialize in ceramic coating for cars, offering a premium layer of defense that keeps your paint looking pristine while making maintenance easier than ever.

 

Whether you drive a luxury sedan, a rugged SUV, a sports coupe, or a restored classic, our ceramic coatings are designed to meet your vehicle’s specific needs and your high standards. When you choose us, you’re trusting a team that treats every car like it belongs in a showroom.

Why Ceramic Coating Is Worth It

Ceramic coatings offer a long-lasting solution to paint protection. Unlike temporary waxes or sealants, they bond chemically to your vehicle’s surface, forming a barrier that’s strong, glossy, and resilient.

Here’s why it’s a favorite among Michigan car owners:

  • Shields against UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, salt, tree sap, and bug splatter
  • Maintains your car’s glossy finish, even after rain and snow
  • Helps reduce swirl marks and oxidation from environmental exposure
  • Creates a hydrophobic layer so water and grime slide off easily
  • Cuts down the time, effort, and cost of regular washing
  • Improves resale value by preserving the original paint’s condition

We use FEYNLAB ceramic coatings because they’re engineered for real-world performance. Each package we offer comes with warranty options ranging from 1 to 10 years and the long-term protection is reported to Carfax.

What to Expect From Our Process

Ceramic coating is not a one-step job. It’s a multi-stage detailing process that requires skill, precision, and time.

When you book with us, here’s what we’ll do:

  • Pre-soak your vehicle to break down bugs, tar, and surface debris
  • Use a two-bucket hand wash to avoid scratches during cleaning
  • Decontaminate paint and wheels using iron remover and clay bar
  • Perform paint correction to eliminate swirls, haze, or oxidation
  • Apply ceramic coating to the body, wheels, and glass
  • Optionally deep clean and coat your interior (Platinum Package)

We don’t rush. Every layer, every wipe, every corner is treated with care. The result? A mirror-like shine and a surface that’s easier to clean and harder to damage.

Ceramic Coating vs. Wax and Sealants

Still not sure if ceramic coating is the best route? Here’s how it compares to traditional paint protection methods:

  • Waxes : Affordable but last just 1–2 months. Easily stripped by weather and harsh washes.
  • Sealants : Last a bit longer (4–6 months) and offer better shine, but still require frequent reapplication.
  • Ceramic Coating : Bonds with your paint, resists UV, chemicals, and weather, and can last for years.

If you care about your car’s finish, convenience, and long-term value, ceramic coating is the smarter investment.

Busting Common Ceramic Coating Myths

We’ve heard every myth under the sun here’s the truth:

  • Myth: It makes your car scratch-proof
    Truth: It helps resist light scratches and swirl marks but won’t stop damage from keys or gravel.
  • Myth: You don’t need prep work
    Truth: Skipping paint correction or proper cleaning can ruin the results.
  • Myth: It works on all surfaces the same way
    Truth: Different materials need different coating types: paint, plastic, and glass all respond differently.
  • Myth: It’s permanent
    Truth: It’s durable, not magical. Even the 10-year coatings need maintenance to last.

Client Story: “It Looks Better Than Brand New!”

“I brought my 2019 black Tahoe thinking I’d just get it cleaned up for summer. I went with the 5-year ceramic package and WOW. It looks better than when I drove it off the lot. I’ve had three neighbors ask me where I got it done. Worth every penny.”
