A ceramic coating is an investment that needs periodic service — coating-safe wash, iron decontamination, inspection, and a SiO₂ topper to restore the beading. We maintain coatings we installed and coatings we didn't.
Most 'failed' ceramic coatings we inspect aren't failed at all — they're buried under bonded contamination. Lubbock's iron-heavy brake dust, alkaline caliche, and hard water minerals build up on top of the coating until water stops beading and the surface feels rough, and the owner assumes the coating quit. A maintenance visit strips that buildup with coating-safe decontamination, inspects the actual coating condition underneath, and applies a SiO₂ topper that restores the hydrophobics — a fraction of the cost of a recoat. Every 4–6 months is the right cadence in this climate. If you'd rather never think about it, a Club membership handles it on schedule automatically.
Interior extraction, steam, decontamination wash — the same process our vehicle details are known for, adapted to the platform.
Machine polishing for oxidized, sun-faded, and swirled surfaces — brought back under proper lighting.
Professional CarPro coatings for long-term UV, water, and contamination protection — quoted by surface area.
Specialty work is quoted after we see the vehicle — size, condition, and access all matter. Call and we'll talk through it.
Didn't coat with us? Doesn't matter — we maintain coatings from any installer. Bring it in and we'll tell you honestly what shape it's in.
We recommend a ceramic coating maintenance detail every 6–12 months depending on how much the car is driven and how it's stored. West Texas dust and hard water are harder on coatings than most climates — annual maintenance keeps the hydrophobic performance at peak.
Our ceramic maintenance service includes an iron decontamination spray, clay bar to remove bonded surface contamination, a pH-neutral hand wash, paint inspection, and a coating booster/topper application that refreshes the hydrophobic layer and extends the coating's life.
Ceramic coating maintenance starts at $150. This covers decontamination, wash, and coating booster application. If the paint needs spot correction or additional work, that's quoted separately. Call (806) 855-8042 to schedule.
Without decontamination maintenance, iron fallout, mineral deposits, and bonded contamination build up on the coating surface and reduce its hydrophobic performance over time. The coating is still there — but it performs significantly better when the surface is kept clean. Annual maintenance extends the coating's effective life.
Yes. We inspect the coating surface under professional lighting and perform a water bead test. We can tell you whether the coating is performing as expected, starting to degrade, or needs a top coat application. Bring your car in for a free coating inspection.
