Ceramic Coating in Brentwood / Pacific Palisades

A professionally applied ceramic coating lasts 2–7 years depending on the product tier and how well you maintain it. Budget-tier coatings last 1–2 years; mid-tier (CarPro CQUK, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light) last 3–5 years; high-end (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, IGL Kenzo) can exceed 7 years with proper maintenance.

Entry-level packages start around $450 for a sedan with a 1-year coating, no paint correction. Mid-tier full packages (2-stage correction + 3-year coating) on an SUV run $900–$1,400. Premium tiers (full correction + 5+ year ceramic + graphene top coat) can exceed $1,800. Exact pricing is on each provider's profile in the Drivify app.

Yes — always. Applying ceramic to unrestored paint locks in all the swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation that were already there. Skipping correction saves money short-term but wastes the coating. Reputable Brentwood / Pacific Palisades detailers on Drivify include at least a light paint correction pass in every ceramic package.

Yes, with the right conditions. Drivify providers working in Brentwood / Pacific Palisades monitor humidity and ambient temperature, and most carry portable canopies or work during optimal morning/evening windows to avoid direct sun during application. Overcast days are ideal. Coatings set within 30–60 minutes, then fully cure over 1–2 weeks — you'll get detailed aftercare instructions from your provider.

Wash every 2–3 weeks with pH-neutral shampoo and a clean mitt (no dish soap, no rotary brush washes). Use dedicated maintenance sprays (CarPro Reload, Gyeon Cure) every few months to refresh the coating. Avoid automatic car washes with abrasive brushes — they can dull the coating's hydrophobic behavior over time.
