A Auto Detail Service has provided expert Ceramic (SiO₂-based) coatings throughout the Denver metro and statewide since 2013, providing showroom-quality protection and shine.
Advanced liquid polymers called ceramic coatings are mostly made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), but they are frequently strengthened and reflective by the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO₂). These substances form a chemical bond with the factory clear coat once they are applied to the surface of your car, producing a long-lasting, transparent shield that is frequently referred to as a “glass-like” layer. This protective layer is a semi-permanent component of your car’s paint system that provides long-lasting defense; it is not a wax or sealant that wears off.
Ceramic coatings, which are molecularly engineered, provide exceptional protection against UV radiation, oxidation, chemical etching, and small scratches. In addition to improved durability, the result is a notably deeper, glossier finish that improves your car’s overall look.
They can only be removed by abrasion; they won’t dissolve or wash off like sealants or waxes.
Raises your clearcoat from ~3H to 5H–9H on the Mohs/pencil hardness scale for three times the scratch resistance.
SiO₂ properties deflect water and dirt—keeping your paint cleaner for longer, with less effort to wash.
Repels UV fading, oxidation, bird droppings, sap, tar, corrosion, and chemical etching.
Works as a true "sacrificial" glass shield that light marring is absorbed by, saving your factory finish.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
Complimentary pre-purchase or post-delivery inspection to evaluate the condition of the paint and trim.
Paint correction (1-step buff or multi-stage polish) available for optional elimination of swirls and defects prior to coating.
Ceramic Pro or SB3 layers are applied by certified installers in controlled environments for best bonding.
The coating is cured and checked for our demanding standards of clarity and durability.

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.
A professionally applied ceramic coating can last from 2 years all the way to the life of the car, depending on the product and maintenance. Regular washing with pH-neutral soaps, maintenance products and occasional topcoat treatments will keep your coating performing its best. We also offer maintenance packages and products to make it effortless.
We currently only offer in-shop ceramic coating services at our Federal Heights location, where we can control temperature, humidity and shop environment for optimal results. We do offer mobile work on a select basis and in special circumstances. Call if you have questions about that.
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.
