Ceramic Coatings
What are ceramic coatings?
A ceramic coating is a sacrificial, durable layer of protection which wards off the elements much better than a traditional carnauba wax ever can. In short, a coating performs the same function as wax, but at a much higher level. Coatings are intensely hydrophobic and intensely slick to the touch.
However, don’t believe the hype. There are tons of false claims and fake news on the Internet about ceramic coatings. There are even some “ceramic” products hitting the auto parts store shelves. The main difference is that a professionally applied coating which comes with a warranty or guarantee is in an entirely different league than a consumer-grade product. Our coatings have been extensively tested and are proven to withstand the elements with proper maintenance.
With EVERY polishing service we offer, you will receive consultation on how to maintain your new paint finish, regardless if you purchase a ceramic coating as well. We want you to keep your paint in top condition.
We will always work with you to find the right protection option. You will never be pressured into a sales pitch.
One quick note about the Shine Supply Beadlock line of products: chemically speaking, Beadlock Pro is 40% reactive resins. Beadlock Marine is72%. Beadlock Black is 85%.
NOTE: All prices are for the coating application only. Must be combined with one of our Correction Services. These coatings must have a properly polished surface in order to correctly bond to your paint and to get maximum longevity. It’s not as simple as washing the car and then applying the coating; like wax.
Shine Supply Relock
Durablility: 12 months
Small cars and sedans: $250 Small crossovers: $300 SUVs and trucks: $350
If protection, easy maintenance, and consistent gloss after each wash is your focus - rather than keeping every swirl out of the paint - Relock is your answer. After installing professional ceramic coatings for several years, we noticed that there is not a good “in-between” solution for people not wanting to spend upwards of $1000, and cheaper spray ceramic products which promise the world but only last a few months. Our entry level ceramic coating fills that gap and does so very strongly.
Gtechniq EXO
Durability: 2 years
Small cars and sedans: $300 Small crossovers: $350 SUVs and trucks: $400
Gtechniq EXO v5 forms a very dense layer of protection for your vehicle. It is extremely hydrophobic, and has moderate slickness compared to the other coatings we offer. This specific version pushes the boundaries of technology in the industry, and is Aston Martin Racing’s choice for protecting their cars. EXO v5 is a single layer application.
Shine Supply Beadlock Pro
Durability: 3+ years
Small cars and coupes: $600 Small crossovers: $700 SUVs and trucks: $800
Keep your vehicle’s exterior on lock.
Beadlock Pro is a two layer application, and contains high amounts of raw silica. In other words, it’s extremely strong. This coating easily has the most extreme slickness properties of any product we sell, as well as absolutely bonkers water behavior. Your towel will want to slide out of your hands when touching your paint.
Gtechniq C1 + EXO
Durability: 5 years guaranteed.
Small cars and sedans: $750 Small crossovers: $850 SUVs and trucks: $950
Gtechniq’s solid combo of C1 Crystal Lacquer and EXO creates an intensely durable layer of defense for your vehicle. This coating is aimed to stand up to lots of abuse and is perfect for daily drivers and vehicles that will see lots of road time. C1 hardens to form the durable layer, and EXO v5 lays down on top to provide the hydrophobic properties.
The chemistry behind C1 also bonds perfectly to gel coat, meaning your boat will be the shiniest boat on the lake. No more waxing your boat once a season.
Beadlock Marine + Beadlock Pro Stack
Durability: 5+ years guaranteed.
Small cars and sedans: $900 Small crossovers: $1000 SUVs and 1500 trucks: $1,100 2500 trucks: $1,200
We call this combo “the stack.”
Beadlock Marine has 2.5 times more raw material concentration than Beadlock Pro, which is already very high. Once it’s topped with Beadlock Pro, you’re set for years of gloss and easy maintenance.
Kamikaze Miyabi
Show cars: $700
In Japanese, “Miyabi” literally means “refinement,” or “elegance.” The name may be pure coincidence, but the reasons we offer this coating definitely are not. Make your wipe-downs inside your garage much quicker and much more enjoyable with the slickness of this handmade Japanese coating.
This coating is specifically offered for garage queens. We absolutely do not recommend this for vehicles exposed to the elements.
Beadlock Black
Durability: 7 years
Small cars and sedans: $1,300 Small crossovers: $1,400 SUVs and 1500 trucks: $1,500 2500 trucks: $1,650
Beadlock Black is the ideal choice for those who seek the utmost protection and care for their vehicle.
Chemically speaking, this is the toughest and most resistant coating we offer. It is resistant to pH levels of 2-13. It’s even resistant to lacquer thinner. We call this “Fort Knox.”
