Why ceramic
Years of protection
Bonds to clear coat. Survives wash after wash.
Hydrophobic
Water beads and rolls. Dirt struggles to stick.
UV resistance
Slows oxidation and paint fade.
Enhanced gloss depth
Modesta BC-04 adds measurable gloss units over corrected paint — visible improvement, not just a coating.
Coating tiers
Coatings carry warranties running from 1 to 9 years depending on the tier. We go through the options against your car and quote them at consultation.

Common questions
Coatings carry warranties running from 1 to 9 years depending on the tier. Beyond that we would rather walk you through the options against your actual car than list them here, so the tiers and their pricing are covered at consultation. We install Modesta and Gtechniq.
Yes. A coating changes how easy the car is to clean, not whether it needs cleaning. Dirt, brake dust, and road film still land on it. The difference is that they sit on the coating instead of bonding to your paint, so routine washing gets the car back to where it was with far less work.
A wax or a sealant sits on the paint and wears away over weeks or months. A ceramic coating bonds to it and is warranted for 1 to 9 years depending on the tier you choose. That durability is the whole point of the extra cost and the extra preparation the application takes.
Plan on 5 to 7 hours. Most of that is preparation rather than the coating itself, because a coating locks in whatever the paint looks like underneath it. We tell you when you book whether your car needs correction work first, and what that does to the timeline.
Ceramic coating is performed at our partner shop in Mineola and needs a drop-off, because the application requires a controlled indoor environment. Pricing is by quote rather than by list, since it depends on the car, its condition, and the tier you pick. We serve Nassau County, NY.
