What it is

What a ceramic coating does

A ceramic coating takes about 3 to 5 days at our shop on Schoolcraft Rd in Livonia, because the paint correction your car needs comes first. Most cars come in the morning, and the quote includes an exact timeline.

A ceramic coating is a clear, hardened layer that bonds chemically to your clear coat and replaces wax. Once cured, it gives a gloss wax never reaches, sheds water and contaminants on contact, and resists chemical etching from bird droppings, brake dust and tree sap.

Washing is easier and maintenance is light.

Every coating job starts with decontamination and the level of paint correction your finish needs. We assess it when the car arrives, scope it before we start and walk you through it. We don't apply a coating onto a flawed surface, because that locks in the imperfections.

Correction first

Why correction comes first

Swirls, micro-marring, water spots and oxidation left on the paint when the coating goes down get sealed in for years.

Some shops skip correction or do a single-pass polish to keep the job moving. We include the level of paint correction your finish needs, and we assess it, scope it and walk you through it before we start. DYNFX backs every coating directly: 3 years for Leicht, 5 years for Keramik X.

Frequently asked

Coating questions

Where can I get a ceramic coating in Livonia?

Come to 33801 Schoolcraft Rd in Livonia, MI. Paint correction is part of every coating job, so plan on 3 to 5 days without the car.

How long does it take to install a ceramic coating?

Typical installs take 3 to 5 days, depending on the vehicle and the level of paint correction. Day 1 is decontamination and correction. Day 2 is application and the first cure. Days 3 to 5 are the full chemical cure before you take the car back. You get an exact timeline with your quote.

Is paint correction always required?

In some form, yes. Even brand-new vehicles often have minor swirls from dealer prep. We assess your paint and do the level of correction it needs, so the coating bonds to a clean surface. Skipping that step locks the imperfections under the coating.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

DYNFX backs Leicht for 3 years and Keramik X for 5. Real-world durability depends on use, climate and care. With annual maintenance, a decontamination wash and inspection in our shop that is included, coatings perform to spec for the full 3 or 5 years.

Is there a warranty on ceramic coating?

DYNFX backs every coating directly: 3 years for Leicht and 5 years for Keramik X, with annual maintenance.

Is ceramic coating worth it for my car?

It depends on the car and how you use it. A coating makes washing easier, resists etching from bird droppings and brake dust, and adds gloss. It does not stop rock chips. Paint protection film does that, and many owners use both. See ceramic coating vs. PPF.

Will the coating make my paint hydrophobic?

Yes. Water beads and sheds off coated paint. Dirt has a harder time bonding to a coated surface, which is why washing is faster and easier.

Do I still need to wash the car?

Yes, but less often and more easily. The coating doesn't repel dirt entirely. It prevents dirt from bonding. Regular hand washing with pH-neutral soap is best. We recommend annual maintenance with us to inspect the coating and refresh the top layer if needed.

How much does a ceramic coating cost?

Ceramic coating cost varies by vehicle size, condition, tier and any add-ons (glass, wheels-off, leather). Send us the car and we'll quote it.
