No spam. Your details go straight to Chris at the front desk.
A ceramic coating is a hard, clear layer that bonds to your clear coat. It is not a wax you reapply every few months and it is not armor against rock chips. What it does is change how the paint behaves day to day.
Water beads up and carries the dirt off with it. Bugs, tree sap, brake dust and road salt sit on the coating instead of working into the paint, so they come off in a wash rather than needing a polisher. And the gloss stops looking flat after the first few months.
Three coatings, and what separates them is how long we guarantee them for. Which one suits your car depends on how long you are keeping it and how it lives.

The middle of the range, and where most daily drivers land. Long enough to be worth the correction work underneath it, short enough not to outlast your plans for the car.
For a car you intend to keep. This is the one that rewards the prep most, because the correction you pay for underneath it is protected for four years instead of one.
Every ceramic coating we install is guaranteed for its full term, whether that is one, two or four years. Bring your car back to us for a detail every two months and Shaded Industries stands behind that coating for as long as it is rated. Your car needs detailing anyway, and this way it is done by the same crew that put the coating on.
Here is why we tie the two together. Think of the coating as a clear layer of silicone sitting on your paint. Keeping that layer level and intact comes down to what gets washed over it, and the wrong products will strip and dull it faster than the road ever will. Our bi-monthly details use the right chemicals and boosters every time, so the coating keeps performing the way it did the day it went on.
When you coat with Shaded Industries, you are not buying a one-time application. You are getting a car care program that lasts as long as the coating does. You do not have to be a detailer. Work with us and the money you put into your paint stays protected.

Deep wash, then a clay bar to pull the embedded grit back out of the paint. Anything left on the panel is something the coating is about to seal in.

Swirls and light scratches get machined out first. A coating locks in whatever the paint looks like underneath it, so this is the stage that decides the finish.

A single layer, worked panel by panel and levelled before it flashes. Layer counts are a talking point; how well the one layer goes down is what you actually see.

Plan on leaving the car at least 24 hours: in one morning, out the next. It goes home with an aftercare folder setting out what is on you and what is on us.
Devon’s rule on pace: coating work cannot be rushed. The next job is not our concern while your vehicle is in our shop.
Whatever condition your paint is in the day it gets coated is the condition it stays in. Swirls from a tunnel wash, sanding marks, a hazy respray: seal over those and they are yours for the life of the coating. Shops that quote without looking at your paint are quoting the easy half of the job.
We put the car under the lights first, tell you what the paint needs, and correct it before a drop of coating comes out. Correction is part of the coating here, not a line item we hope you skip. More about the shop and the crew.
"Excellent customer service, fast turn around times, overall great people, and fair pricing. Would recommend to anyone who needs tint, paint corrections, or PPF."

Film takes the rock chips and road debris; the coating makes the whole car shed water, bugs and salt. Choose both for maximum paint protection.

The same crew, the same standard. Though window tint is the core of Shaded Industries, the shop has grown to provide a range of services, all in house, all with the same commitment to quality.

Carbon and Ceramic, 5% through 70%, cut and fitted so nothing bubbles, peels or shrinks.

Clear, self-healing film over the panels the road actually hits. Pairs with a coating.

The biggest piece of glass in the car and the one you sit behind all day. 5% to virtually clear.

The glass roof, the oversized windshield and the one-piece rear window are each their own job.

Work trucks, patrol cars, wreckers, excavators and loaders. Classics and curved glass too.

Air ride suspension, starlight headliners, carbon fiber and aero kits, accessory installs.
We run three coatings, guaranteed for one, two and four years. Which one is right for you comes down to how long you are keeping the car. Every one of them is backed by our guarantee when the car comes back to us for regular details.
Bring the car back to us for a detail every two months and we guarantee the coating for its full term. Washing a coating with the wrong products is what wears it down, so those visits keep the right chemicals on your paint and keep your coating performing like new. Your car needs detailing anyway, and this way it is done by the crew that coated it.
One, and that is on purpose. Layer counts sound impressive and mean very little without maintenance behind them. Putting a single layer down correctly and then looking after it with you beats doing extra passes so we can quote a bigger number.
Yes, correction comes with the coating, and it has to be. The coating seals your paint in at whatever condition it found, so a tunnel-wash swirl or a hazy respray becomes permanent otherwise. We put the car under the lights and tell you what it needs before quoting.
At least 24 hours. Drop it off one morning and pick it up the next, so the coating is applied during the work day and cures overnight. If the paint needs a lot of correction first, plan on longer and we will tell you that up front.
We quote it on the vehicle. The guarantee length you pick and the condition of your paint are the two things that move the number, and you cannot judge the second from photos alone. Bring it by and we will price the coating and the maintenance together so you can see the whole cost, not just the first visit.
They solve different problems. Film is physical, and it takes the rock chips and road debris on the panels the road actually hits. Coating is chemical, and it changes how the whole car sheds water and dirt. Neither replaces the other, which is why plenty of cars here get both.
No, and be careful with any shop that suggests otherwise. It is a few microns of hard clear layer, not armor. If chips are what you are worried about, that is paint protection film, and the coating goes over the top of it happily.
Call or stop by the shop in Canton, Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:30. Shop already closed? Send it through anyway and Chris picks it up first thing.
