Choose by outcome

Use coating for surface behaviour, not impact protection

Ceramic coating supports gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier routine washing. It does not replace paint protection film on rock-chip and road-debris zones.

01

Easier maintenance

Choose coating when the goal is easier washing and drying on a vehicle that will receive consistent aftercare.

See the preparation path
02

Gloss and clarity

Paint preparation can improve clarity before the coating is installed over the corrected finish.

Review paint correction
03

Impact-zone protection

Use PPF for rock-chip exposure, then add coating where gloss and maintenance support are also wanted.

Coating, PPF, or both?

Match the protection plan to the risk

Use coating for surface behaviour and maintenance. Use PPF for physical impact exposure. Combine them when both outcomes matter.

Ceramic coating questions

What Vancouver drivers ask before choosing a package

Send the vehicle details, paint condition, and ownership goal for a package recommendation.

Ask about your vehicle
How much does ceramic coating cost in Vancouver?

Ceramic coating starts at $800 for Ceramic Pro Bronze, $1,300 for Ceramic Pro ION, $1,800 for Ceramic Pro Ultimate ION, and $1,300 for Revivify Graphene. Each package has compact, mid-size, and full-size tiers. Paint condition, correction, contamination removal, specialty trim, and added prep can change the final estimate.

Does ceramic coating stop rock chips?

No. Ceramic coating supports gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier washing, but it does not stop rock chips. Paint protection film is the correct service for physical impact zones.

Which Ceramic Pro package should I choose?

Bronze is the practical entry package, ION is the long-term package, and Ultimate ION carries the longest Ceramic Pro warranty term when required annual service and package terms are maintained. The right choice depends on vehicle size, paint condition, ownership timeline, and maintenance habits.

Is paint correction required before ceramic coating?

Not always. Paint correction may be recommended when the paint has haze, swirls, water spotting, oxidation, or wash marks because coating does not remove those defects.

Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?

Yes. Ceramic coating can be applied over compatible paint protection film when the film is installed and prepared correctly. The film provides physical protection, while the coating supports gloss and easier maintenance.
