From strong sun to winter road salts, Thornton’s always shifting weather calls for the best protection for your car. Using top SiO₂ nano-ceramics (Ceramic Pro & SB3), our ceramic coating treatment bonds a “glass-like” shield to your paint at A Auto Detail Service.
Following a precision multi-step wash, decontamination, and optional paint correction, our certified technicians apply the coating in a bay under climate control. But our attention to detail doesn’t stop at paint. We also restore and protect exterior plastics, breathing new life into faded trim and adding a UV-resistant barrier that keeps it looking rich and dark. We apply ceramic coatings to wheels and painted brake calipers, helping them resist corrosive brake dust, heat, and road grime while maintaining a clean, high-performance appearance.
In addition, we treat glass surfaces for improved water beading and visibility in all seasons—ideal for Colorado’s sudden weather shifts. Rubber seals and trim are also protected to prevent cracking, fading, and drying, ensuring your vehicle stays sealed, flexible, and visually polished.
The outcome? Mile after mile, a strong, mirror-bright finish across your vehicle that keeps it looking new and resilient against Thornton’s toughest conditions.

Our professional ceramic coating is a liquid silica and titanium dioxide formula that when applied to your car’s exterior it chemically bonds with the paint and actually cures 2-3 times harder than your vehicle’s clear coat creating an extremely durable and hydrophobic layer of protection. In Colorado’s climate—where sun, snow, sap, tar, bugs, birds, road salts and chemicals are harsh on paint—ceramic coating helps prevent UV fading, minor scratching, oxidation, and permanent etching from acidic contaminants.
Professional ceramic coating prices in the Denver Metro area typically range from $700 to $3,000, depending on the size of your vehicle and the level of protection you choose. At A Auto Detail Service, we offer packages as low as $300, with each package tailored to fit your budget and protection goals, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
Yes—ceramic coating is especially worth it in Colorado. It shields your vehicle from UV damage, bird bombs, bug impacts, sap and tar in the summer and from chemical deicers, salt, ice, and grime in the winter. It also makes washing your car faster and easier year-round, preserving its showroom shine for years and saving you precious time.
A professionally applied ceramic coating can last 2 to 7 years, depending on the product and maintenance. Regular washing with pH-neutral soaps and occasional top-up treatments will keep your coating performing its best. We also offer maintenance packages to make it effortless.

Unlike wax or sealants that sit on top of the paint and wear off in weeks or months, ceramic coatings bond at a molecular level, offering longer-lasting protection—measured in years, not months. It resists heat, chemicals, and contaminants that wax simply can’t.
Ceramic coatings offer some resistance to light scratches and swirl marks, but they are not a substitute for paint protection film (PPF), which we also offer, when it comes to high-speed rock chips and road debris. However, ceramic coating does reduce surface damage and makes it easier to clean off debris. We do have a ceramic coating product that can be multilayered for a thicker surface and additional scratch resistance.
Your vehicle is safe to the elements the moment it leaves our shop, but we typically recommend waiting 7-14 days before your first wash to allow the coating to fully cure. After that, we will give you detailed instructions on how to best wash your vehicle and we’ll always encourage you to avoid automatic brushes as they can damage and dull the finish.
