OPTI-COAT CERAMIC COATINGS

Protect Your New Car's Paint From Aging, & Make Cleaning Effortless.


Modern automotive paint only has a 5 year half-life. This means that every 5 years, unprotected paint degrades by 50% from exposure to the environment.


Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings effectively halt paint degradation, ensuring long-lasting protection.


Opti-Coat has the most advanced ceramic technology in the industry. The only 100% pure ceramic matrix protection, with no cheap fillers or resins.


Our ceramic coating creates an extremely glossy, extra hard layer of protection that repels water and resists dirt, grime, tar, bugs, and salt.


Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings are independently tested by 3rd parties, and manufactured in the USA.


Because our ceramic coating has 300% more chemical resistance and is harder than factory clear coat, it's more resistant to light marring, swirl marks, and etching from bugs, sap, bird droppings, and water spots.

HOW DOES OPTI-COAT CERAMIC COATING WORK?

What Is Opti-Coat?


After special prep work, liquid Opti-Coat is applied. The Opti-Coat absorbs into and fuses with the paint on your vehicle at the molecular level. A chemical reaction occurs between the Opti-Coat and the paint to form a 100% pure layer of Silicon Carbide (SiC). This layer of SiC is a complete matrix with no gaps, voids, or empty space between the SiC structures. 


Strong Protection & High Gloss

To help give you an idea of how strong and shiny the main component of Opti-Coat is, ... it's the same stuff ballistic proof vests, and synthetic diamonds are made from!


SiC has a higher refraction index than diamonds, meaning Opti-Coat Ceramic Coating reflects and shines more than a diamond!

Proper ceramic coating application is crucial for long-lasting results.


Deep Prep & Meticulous Application: Our Ceramic Coating Process Guarantees a Flawless Finish.


Our process begins with a thorough 2 foam bath to eliminate loose dirt and grime, followed by the removal of bonded contaminants like brake dust, carbon, and sap. Nano clay bar treatment ensures an ultra-smooth paint surface, prepping it for paint correction—a vital step included in every ceramic coating application.


Paint correction involves meticulous buffing and polishing, eradicating defects, blemishes, and swirls, fostering the highest gloss and reflective depth. This intensive process, spanning around 8 hours for most vehicles, sets the foundation for excellence.


Post paint correction, your chosen ceramic coating is meticulously applied to all exterior surfaces—paint, glass, trim, chrome, wheels, lights, and jambs—ensuring comprehensive protection. Subsequently, we allow the coating ample time to cure, guaranteeing its effectiveness.

  • Is Opti-Coat as Strong as Claimed?

  • Is The Dealership Protection The Same As Opti-Coat?

    No it is not. Dealership protection is designed to be a highly profitable add-on for the dealership. Often dealerships are spending less than $10 on the application for your vehicle, while they charge $800 - $2500. 


    Remember, the dealership's main goal is to sale cars. If they apply a product that keeps your car looking new for many years, they would be hurting their own business.
