Preserve Your Finish
Ceramic Coating
After restoring your paint, it is important to lock in that protection. At DL Fine Auto, we go beyond traditional waxes by specializing in highly functional ceramic coating.
This coating fuses to your vehicle to create a hardened barrier between your clear coat and the elements—providing a glass-like finish and unrivaled protection against water, dirt, and road grime.
Please Note:
Ceramic coating amplifies whatever is underneath it. As such, for the coating to be applied correctly, the vehicle must be prepped properly, and the paint must be free of any and all defects before installation can begin.
A minimum of a Level I Paint Correction is required before installation.

How We Work
Our Process
At DL Fine Auto, we work to provide quality results—which is why we never rush. To ensure durability and a flawless finish, we follow a strict application process.
1. The Prep
We strip the paint of oils and residues. This ensures the coating bonds directly to the clear coat, not to a layer of polish or wax.
2. The Application
We apply the DQuartz GO coating by hand to every painted surface, ensuring even coverage and maximum bond strength.
3. The Cure (24-Hour Hold)
This is the step many shops skip, but we refuse to. Once coated, your vehicle must remain in our temperature-controlled studio for a minimum of 24 hours. This allows the coating to fully cure without being exposed to moisture, dust, or even fingerprints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of a ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating provides premium protection against UV rays, oxidation, chemical contaminants, and minor scratches while delivering a glossy shine that lasts for years. It also offers hydrophobic properties that make cleaning easier and can help maintain your car’s resale value.
How long does a ceramic coating last, and is it worth the cost?
On average, a ceramic coating should last around 3 years. However, longevity depends entirely on maintenance; with proper care, ceramic coatings commonly last between 5-10 years. The long-lasting protection can reduce other maintenance expenses over time compared to traditional waxing, making this service a worthwhile investment for many vehicle owners.
Are there any downsides to a ceramic coating?
Ceramic coatings are not impervious to all forms of damage—they won’t prevent rock chips or deep scratches. The initial cost is higher than waxing and requires a careful professional application; some ongoing maintenance and proper cleaning are needed to maximize its lifespan.

My car is new. Do I still need to start with paint correction?
Even brand new cars can have imperfections in their paint, whether it’s related to transport damage, rail dust, or dealership swirl marks. To make sure that the ceramic coating lasts for its full lifetime while looking its best, it is still essential to remove dirt, scratches, and any other errors.
