Questions & Answers

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's factory paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic layer of protection. Unlike wax or sealants, it doesn't wash away — it becomes a permanent part of the surface.

A professional-grade ceramic coating applied by D5 Coatings can last anywhere from 3 to 7 years depending on the product used, how the vehicle is maintained, and environmental conditions. We'll walk you through the right option for your situation.

Ceramic coating adds a layer of hardness to your paint that resists light swirl marks and minor abrasions. However, it is not a scratch-proof solution — deep scratches from keys or road debris can still penetrate the coating. Think of it as a strong shield, not armor.

In most cases, yes. Ceramic coating locks in whatever condition the paint is in — so if there are swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, they'll be sealed under the coating. We offer full paint correction services to ensure your vehicle is flawless before we coat it.

Absolutely. We specialize in ceramic coating for boats, marine vessels, tractors, trailers, and other heavy machinery. The coating protects against salt, UV rays, chemicals, and daily wear — keeping your equipment looking professional and lasting longer.

Maintenance is simple — that's one of the biggest benefits. Rinse regularly, use a pH-neutral car wash soap, and avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes. We recommend a hand wash or touchless wash to keep the coating performing at its best.

The full process — including wash, decontamination, paint correction, and coating application — typically takes 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
