Why are ceramic coatings expensive?
What you’re really paying for—and why proper preparation makes all the difference
At Attention to Detail Plus – Auto Appearance Specialists, we get this question all the time.
Why do ceramic coatings cost what they do?
And why are some shops significantly cheaper than others?
The truth is simple: prep is king.
Anyone can apply a coating.
Not everyone is willing to put in the time and skill it takes to prepare a vehicle properly.
Before we ever install a ceramic coating, your vehicle goes through a meticulous process:
- Thorough wash and decontamination
- Paint inspection under proper lighting
- Multi-stage paint correction to remove swirls, scratches, and defects
Because here’s the reality—
a coating locks in whatever is underneath it.
If the paint isn’t corrected properly, you’re sealing in imperfections… not perfection.
Lower-priced services often skip steps or rush the process.
At first glance, it may look good—but over time, the difference becomes obvious:
- Reduced gloss
- Shorter lifespan
- Less protection
At Attention to Detail Plus, we focus on doing it right the first time. We use professional-grade coatings, proper installation methods, and take the time your vehicle deserves.
The result? Long-term protection, deep gloss, and real value.
You’ve already made a significant investment in your vehicle.
Protecting it shouldn’t be an afterthought—it should be done right.
