Ceramic Pro and graphene coating options
Ceramic coating for Vancouver vehicles
Ceramic coating helps Vancouver vehicles stay glossier, slicker, and easier to wash by adding a durable surface coating over properly prepared paint. Elements Labs installs Ceramic Pro and Revivify Graphene coating options after reviewing the vehicle, paint condition, ownership goal, and how long the owner plans to keep it.
Ceramic coating is not a substitute for paint protection film. If the priority is rock-chip protection on impact zones, start with PPF. If the priority is gloss, water behavior, easier washing, and maintenance support, ceramic coating is the correct service to compare.
What ceramic coating does
Gloss, slickness, and easier washing
Ceramic coating supports deeper gloss after paint preparation, slicker washing and drying, hydrophobic water behavior, easier removal of normal road film and wash residue, and better maintenance support for painted surfaces.
Not an impact layer
Ceramic coating does not stop rock chips, dents, deep scratches, or physical impact damage. For Vancouver highway debris, winter grit, and leading-edge paint exposure, paint protection film is the physical protection layer.
Ceramic coating pricing
Pricing is vehicle-size dependent and assumes the vehicle is a suitable candidate after inspection. Paint correction, contamination removal, neglected paint, specialty trim, wheels-off work, interior coating, and additional prep can change the final estimate.

Package comparison
Ceramic Pro Bronze
Bronze is the entry coating package for owners who want easier washing, gloss, and a practical 2-year warranty term.
Ceramic Pro ION
ION is the most-popular long-term package for owners keeping the vehicle longer, washing regularly, or pairing coating with front-end PPF.
Ceramic Pro Ultimate ION
Ultimate ION is the strongest Ceramic Pro warranty path for long-term ownership, luxury vehicles, and more complete prep before coating.
Revivify Graphene
Revivify Graphene is a separate graphene coating option, not a Ceramic Pro tier. It should be quoted after vehicle and paint review.
PPF + ceramic package anchors
For owners who want impact-zone film plus easier washing and gloss, Elements Labs can package front-end PPF with Ceramic Pro coating.
| Package | Compact | Mid-size | Full-size |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAVACA Armour: front-end PPF + ION | $2,899 | $2,999 | $3,199 |
| KAVACA Ultimate Armour: front-end PPF + Ultimate ION | $3,399 | $3,499 | $3,699 |
These packages are for owners who do not need full-vehicle PPF but want the front impact zones protected and the rest of the vehicle easier to maintain.
Paint correction before ceramic coating
Ceramic coating locks in the condition of the paint below it. If the paint has wash marks, haze, oxidation, water spotting, or light surface defects, paint correction may be recommended before coating.
Basic gloss and easier washing
Choose Bronze when the ownership goal is practical maintenance support and a shorter warranty term.
Better long-term value
Choose ION when the vehicle is kept longer and the owner wants stronger Ceramic Pro warranty coverage.
Highest Ceramic Pro warranty term
Choose Ultimate ION when the vehicle is a long-term keeper and annual service will be maintained.

Ceramic coating FAQs
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips?
No. Ceramic coating supports gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behavior, and easier washing, but it does not stop rock chips. If impact protection is the priority, paint protection film is the correct service.
Which Ceramic Pro package should I choose?
Bronze is the practical entry option, ION is the most-popular long-term package, and Ultimate ION is the strongest Ceramic Pro warranty path. The right choice depends on vehicle size, paint condition, ownership timeline, and maintenance habits.
Is paint correction required before ceramic coating?
Paint correction is not always required, but it is often recommended when the paint has haze, swirls, water spotting, or wash marks.
Can ceramic coating go over PPF?
Yes. Ceramic coating can be applied over compatible PPF to support gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behavior, and easier washing.
