Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle’s paint, creating a robust hydrophobic layer. Unlike traditional wax, this protective layer offers extended defense against harmful UV rays, oxidation, and chemical stains.
The invisible shield enhances your vehicle’s gloss and shine and helps keep it cleaner by repelling dirt and debris. These coatings resist road grime, swirl marks, and other contaminants. With ceramic coating, your car remains cleaner and protected, maintaining that “new car” look for years.
At Tint & Ceramic Coating Near Me in Crofton, MD, we apply advanced, precision-layered ceramic coatings for superior, long-lasting protection. Our professional-grade ceramic coatings provide excellent gloss, outstanding durability, and unmatched defense for all vehicle types—whether it’s a luxury sedan, sports car, or everyday driver.

Everything you need to know before booking your ceramic coating appointment at Tint Near Me in Crofton, MD.
Depending on the package selected and your maintenance routine, our CarPro ceramic coatings last between 2 and 10 years. Our CQUARTZ Flagship package with DQUARTZ Pro base and Finest Reserve topcoat offers the longest protection at up to 10 years with proper care.
Ceramic coating is a multi-day process. The Essential package typically takes 1 to 2 days. The Finest Reserve and Flagship packages take 2 to 3 days depending on your vehicle's paint condition and the level of paint correction required. We'll give you an exact timeline when you book.
Absolutely — in fact, a new car is the ideal time to apply ceramic coating. New paint is at its best condition and the coating will lock in that factory finish immediately, protecting it before any environmental damage occurs. Many customers book within days of picking up their new vehicle.
Ceramic coating adds hardness to your paint surface and provides resistance against light swirl marks, minor abrasions and surface contaminants. However it is not a replacement for paint protection film (PPF) when it comes to rock chips or deep scratches. For maximum protection, many customers combine ceramic coating with PPF on high-impact areas.
CQUARTZ Finest Reserve is the most exclusive ceramic coating offered by CarPro — the world's leading ceramic coating manufacturer. It can only be installed by a small network of certified shops who meet CarPro's strict quality standards. We are one of only a handful of authorized installers in all of Maryland. Most shops simply cannot offer this coating.
Ceramic coating dramatically reduces maintenance needs. We recommend washing your vehicle every 2 to 4 weeks using a pH-neutral soap, avoiding automatic car washes with brushes, and applying a ceramic boost spray every 3 to 6 months. We'll walk you through a full aftercare guide at your final walkthrough appointment.
Paint correction is the process of removing swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and other surface defects from your paint before the ceramic coating is applied. It is essential — ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so applying it over imperfect paint would permanently seal those defects. All of our packages include multi-step paint correction.
Our ceramic coating packages start at $1,150 for cars (CQUARTZ Essential) and go up to $3,000 for trucks and full-size SUVs (CQUARTZ Flagship). Military, veteran and first responder customers receive 10% off all packages. Call us at (410) 921-2261 or fill out our quote form for an exact price for your vehicle.

Applied to painted surfaces and paint protection film, ceramic coating improves shine, adds scratch resistance, and keeps your exterior looking fresh.
High-heat areas like wheels and calipers benefit from added protection against brake dust, road grime, and corrosion.
Glass coating creates a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and debris—improving visibility and making cleaning easier.
Interior fabric and leather surfaces stay cleaner and resist stains, spills, and fading with a ceramic treatment.

After correction, we fine-tune the finish for maximum gloss and clarity. This step ensures the paint is uniform and ready to bond with the ceramic coating.
Finally, we apply CQUARTZ Finest Reserve to the perfected surface. It forms a strong, glossy layer that locks in the shine and protects your vehicle for years.

Ceramic coating gives your paint incredible gloss, hydrophobic protection and chemical resistance. But for truly complete vehicle protection, many of our customers combine it with window tinting and PPF. Here's how each service complements the others.
UV and heat protection for your interior and passengers.
Deep gloss, hydrophobic protection and chemical resistance for your paint.
Complete inside and outside protection — the ultimate package for serious vehicle owners.
PPF protects against rock chips, road debris and deep scratches that ceramic coating cannot stop. Apply it to your hood, bumper, mirrors and door edges — then coat the entire car in ceramic on top. The ultimate combination.
Ceramic coating protects your exterior paint — window tinting protects your interior, passengers and anything left in your car. LLUMAR and AutoBahn ceramic tint blocks 99% of UV rays and dramatically reduces cabin heat.
If your vehicle needs a deep clean before paint correction begins, our exterior detail service is the perfect first step. A thorough detail ensures your paint is in the best possible condition before we begin the ceramic coating process.
Many of our customers combine ceramic coating, PPF and window tinting in a single appointment — saving time and ensuring every surface of their vehicle is protected from day one. Call us to discuss a custom bundle quote for your vehicle. We'll recommend the right combination based on your budget and goals.
