Why Choose Ceramic Coating?
A semi-permanent liquid glass matrix that bonds directly with your vehicle's factory clearcoat.
UV & Oxidation Shield
Adds a protective layer to help your paint cope with sun exposure and everyday contaminants. Regular care still matters for preserving the finish.
Extreme Hydrophobics
Water beads on the coated surface, making routine rinsing and washing easier. Coating does not replace regular cleaning or prompt contaminant removal.
Chemical & Grime Defense
Helps resist everyday chemical contamination. Remove bird droppings, sap and bugs promptly; leaving them on coated paint can still damage the finish.
Candy-Like Deep Gloss
Paint preparation enhances clarity before the coating adds a reflective finish. Proper washing helps preserve that gloss over the life of the coating.
Water beads on a protected finish
Notice how water forms tight, spherical beads instead of sheeting or pooling on the clearcoat.
What Gtechniq Delivers
Developed by Gtechniq, a recognized global leader in surface science. Crystal Serum Light forms an ultra-dense 9H ceramic barrier:
Our 4-Stage Prep & Application
A ceramic coating is only as good as the surface beneath it. Every package includes comprehensive multi-step decontamination.
Decontamination Wash
Full exterior foam bath followed by iron-remover chemical treatment to dissolve embedded brake dust and road fallout.
Clay Bar Treatment
Fine detailing clay physically extracts above-surface contaminants, leaving the clearcoat glass-smooth to the touch.
Single-Step Polish
Machine single-step polish enhances clarity, deepens gloss, and removes light wash haze prior to coating bonding.
Crystal Serum Light
Applied in controlled sections to prepared paint, then allowed to cure indoors according to Gtechniq's application instructions.
This is a gloss enhancement and protection service, not a multi-stage heavy paint correction. It's ideal for vehicles in good condition that need added shine, depth, and long-term defense without the extra time or cost of multi-step correction work.
Ceramic Coating vs Traditional Wax
Why drivers choose semi-permanent ceramic over temporary carnauba wax.
Traditional Wax / Sealant
- Lifespan: Needs more frequent reapplication; durability varies by product and use.
- Upkeep: Exposure and washing gradually wear down protection.
- Washing: Use gentle cleaning methods and reapply protection when needed.
- Scratch Defense: Does not prevent scratches or rock chips.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light
- Lifespan: Up to five years with proper preparation, application and maintenance.
- Upkeep: Durable protection with regular washing and prompt removal of contamination.
- Washing: Chemical resistance and a slick finish help with cleaning; pH-neutral soap is recommended.
- Scratch Defense: Helps resist wash-induced marring, but is not scratch-proof or a substitute for paint protection film.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Chattanooga?
Our standalone Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light service starts at $750. Vehicle size, paint condition and preparation needs affect the final quote. Text Tanner vehicle photos and your location before booking.
What is included in the coating service?
A decontamination wash, clay bar treatment, single-step machine polish and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light application are included. The polish enhances gloss and addresses light wash haze; deep scratches and heavier paint correction require a separate assessment.
How long do application and curing take?
Allow roughly 3–4 hours for preparation and application, depending on the vehicle. Curing is additional: Gtechniq requires the vehicle to remain indoors for at least 12 hours after application. Confirm the full schedule and aftercare with Tanner before the appointment.
Can ceramic coating be applied at my home or workplace?
We serve Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain and surrounding service areas. Crystal Serum Light must be applied indoors, out of direct sunlight, with indoor space available for the initial curing period. Send Tanner photos of your work space so he can confirm suitable installation and curing arrangements.
How does this differ from Gold or Platinum detailing?
Gold and Platinum include their own package-level paint protection. The standalone Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light service is a separate coating option with dedicated preparation and curing requirements, offering up to five years of protection with proper care. Use the package comparison to choose the right scope and price.
How do I care for a coated car?
Wash regularly with pH-neutral car shampoo and clean, gentle wash media. Remove bird droppings, bugs and sap promptly, and avoid abrasive automatic washes. Tanner can recommend maintenance care from the service list and explain the initial aftercare instructions for your installation.
