Protection That Works as Hard as You Do
Ceramic coating is the longest-lasting paint protection available. Here is what it means for your vehicle day to day.
Long-Lasting Paint Protection
A single application protects your paint for 3 to 8 years — far longer than wax or sealant. Your paint stays defended against the elements season after season.
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
Ceramic coating's hydrophobic surface causes dirt and grime to bead off rather than bond to your paint. Washing takes less time and effort.
Resistance to Scratches, Swirls, and Contaminants
The hard ceramic layer shields your paint from light scratches, swirl marks, bird droppings, tree sap, and road chemicals that would otherwise damage unprotected surfaces.
Showroom Finish That Lasts Years
Ceramic coating amplifies gloss and depth, keeping your vehicle looking freshly detailed long after the day you drove it off the lot.
UV Protection for Your Paint
Indiana summers are hard on clear coat. Ceramic coating blocks UV rays that cause paint oxidation, fading, and premature aging.
Protection from Road Salt and Weather
Indiana winters mean road salt, slush, and freeze-thaw cycles. Ceramic coating creates a chemical-resistant barrier that keeps corrosive salt away from your paint.

Choose the level of protection that matches how long you plan to keep your vehicle and how much protection you need from Indiana's weather, road salt, and UV exposure.

The Ceramic Coating Process
Professional ceramic coating is a multi-step process that requires controlled conditions and trained technicians. Here is what happens when you bring your vehicle to Classic Shades for ceramic coating.
Consultation and Booking
Book online or call us to select your ceramic coating package. We will discuss your vehicle's condition, your protection goals, and the best package for your needs. Allow 1 to 2 days for coating packages.
Thorough Wash and Decontamination
Your vehicle receives a full hand wash followed by chemical decontamination to remove embedded contaminants, iron particles, and road film. This step is critical for proper coating adhesion.
One-Step Paint Correction
A machine polish removes minor swirl marks, light scratches, and surface imperfections from your paint. This step ensures the ceramic coating bonds to a clean, smooth surface and maximizes gloss.
Ceramic Coating Application
The ceramic coating is applied panel by panel across all exterior painted surfaces and wheels. Each panel is coated evenly and allowed to flash before being leveled. This creates a uniform, durable protective layer.
Curing and Inspection
The coating requires time to cure and bond to your paint. We perform a final inspection under controlled lighting to verify uniform coverage, proper gloss, and hydrophobic performance before releasing your vehicle.
Aftercare Instructions
We provide care instructions to help maintain your coating. Avoid washing for the first 7 days after application, and steer clear of automatic car washes with abrasive brushes — mechanical damage from stiff bristles is the main thing that shortens a coating's life.
