Ceramic coating a vehicle is a great value. Benefits include an improved appearance, decreased maintenance costs, and increased protection for years. Below, we discuss these benefits in more detail.

Coated vehicles have improved appearance.

Most vehicles- even if new- should have paint correction done before applying a coating. Once corrected, chemically prepare the surfaces to promote proper bonding. Ensures that the coating is leveled before it cures. Even application can fill in minor clearcoat imperfections. This creates the glass-like reflection that coated vehicles have for years.

Vehicles with professional coatings require less maintenance.

When considering professional grade coating, budget for maintenance. Use a car shampoo designed for coated vehicles every 4-6 months. This will "clean the pores" of the coating to promote continued maximum protection. Call us if you need advice on a great product or want us to provide service.

A "top coat" of wax or sealant may also be applied once a year for additional protection and gloss. Evocative offers traditional wax and hybrid ceramic sealant as alternative paint protection options, as well as supplements for coated vehicles. Despite a higher initial cost, ceramic coatings have lower annual and 3-year max costs:

Graphene ceramic coating provides better protection for years.

Ceramic coating is excellent and adding graphene is even better in our opinion. It's not an either/or situation. Rather, graphene coatings are ceramic coatings with an extra ingredient. These professional coatings chemically bond to the surface being protected and cure to a durable hardness beyond that of waxes and sealants. Applied properly, professional ceramic coatings provide years of protection against water spots, bird droppings, bug splatter, and other potential paint contaminants. Graphene makes water "slide" off a vehicle more- taking contaminants along while reducing effects of erosion. This is evidenced by the tight water beading showing that the surface is resisting the water.

Cost of Ceramic Coating

While often thought of as expensive, a quality graphene ceramic coating for around $159 can be shipped to your door. We use this product on our personal vehicles and it's excellent. Much of the additional expense for applying ceramic coating is for key preparation steps that ensure the most evocative results. If you feel comfortable, you can try it yourself and save. Otherwise, the $499 listed above is what we charge to apply a single-layer 3-year coating without any paint correction. Once applied, the vehicle will also be eligible for a exterior paint protection warranty. We're happy to answer your questions. Call us or Email office@evocative.site with any questions you have.
