9H surface hardness
Helps stop bird droppings, bugs, tar, tree sap, and road grime from bonding to your paint.
Deep gloss, easier washes, and years of protection, applied by Wilmington's 5.0-star ceramic coating team.
Ceramic coating is a clear, liquid nano-ceramic that cures into a hard, flexible glass shield on your paint. It works like an extra clear coat that makes everyday care easier.
Helps stop bird droppings, bugs, tar, tree sap, and road grime from bonding to your paint.
Nano particles fill the smallest pores in the paint for a lasting, showroom-style shine.
Water beads up and rolls off, carrying dirt with it, so washes are faster and easier.
A durable layer that replaces waxing and keeps salt air, sun, and pollen off your finish.
Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof and does not prevent rock chips. Regular hand or touchless washing still matters.
Salt air off Wrightsville Beach, hot Carolina sun, beach sand, and spring pollen are hard on paint. Griffin and the Coast 2 City team prep your paint first, then lock in the finish with ceramic coating in our Wilmington shop, where it cures in a controlled environment.
Wilmington's ceramic coating choice since 2023. Honest work and real attention to detail.
Your ceramic coating is registered to your vehicle's CARFAX, a plus when it's time to sell.
We clean and correct the surface before coating, so swirls and haze aren't sealed in.
Every coating is applied in our Wilmington shop and cures in a controlled environment for a proper bond.
Trusted by local drivers for results, communication, and service.
Our coatings come with a warranty. If you ever need re-service, bring it in and we'll help.

“Coast 2 City Customs Ceramic Coated my 2023 Hyundai Sonata N-Line & it looks phenomenal! The process included removing some fine scratches & those annoying swirl marks that occurred from using car washes. After the prework & coating...WoW! And it's good for 3 years And it reports to my CarFax! Thank You, Keanu!”Read reviews on Google ↗
“I took my 2026 Tacoma into Griffin and he sent me pictures and videos during the ceramic coating process all day long letting me know how every step was going. I couldn’t be happier with it when I got it back. It actually looks like a darker and shinier black paint than when I bought it new.”Read reviews on Google ↗

“Got my car ceramic coated and they did a killer job, paint looks brand new again after 10 years of ownership.

Was able to remove all the scratches and other flaws on my paint in the process.”Read reviews on Google ↗
