For you guys in the US who have had your vehicles coated with ceramic, what was the general cost?

It saves so much time when washing etckeeping clean especially with a dark paint shade.

It was about $800 (for the “lifetime” ceramic coat) from a well regarded high end detailing shop.

This is in Northern CA.

I had my Grenadier (Donney Grey) fully ceramic coated and the plastic trim treated for just under $900 with a few extras. First time I’ve ever had one of my vehicles done and what surprised me most is how little dust collects on the paint and how much easier it is to clean after getting dirty. I always thought treatments like this were for the “Hanger Queen or Car Show” crowd but it makes darker colored vehicles much easier to maintain.

Buy the car wash product called "reset" on Amazon. Its amazing on ceramic coated cars and super low effort to make the car look great!

$2,300 for CeramicPro Silver exterior, interior, glass and wheels. Price included tinting front windows and safari windows.

$600 here in AZ for full coating. I might have a lower price bc I also did PPF and Tint.

in Chicago, 3 year durability Fusion Plus is around $2,000. The sub $1,000 are smoking prices unless they are “lite” versions of the ceramic. Getting mine done now with window tint.

It is the prep work that costs the money.

Normally intensive cleaning, coarse, medium, fine polishing and then dealing with any imperfections which take a couple of days plus if panel returns are done and trim needs removing or masking. A bit longer if the paintwork is very orange peel (BMW style).
The actual ceramic coating and final buff is quite quick.

Cheaper places will do the same coating but will not put anywhere near as much effort into the polish and imperfections.

You don’t? Clean cars drive better.

I thought about it when I purchased. Really debated it as I never plan to sell it. Glad I didn’t spend the $$. I simply don’t care anymore after almost 2 years. It’s a 4x4 and I use it as such. I wash it maybe once a month. Has plenty of blemishes after lots of off-road tracks. Gives it character! Still looks good. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.

$1500 of owl rims are all scraped up as well. Oh well! It’s a tool to go adventure in the wild.
