Mobile Ceramic Coating in the Capital Region
A liquid coating that bonds to your paint and protects it for years. We apply it at your home — in your driveway, garage, or carport — across Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Troy. No shop visit needed.
What ceramic coating actually does
It bonds chemically to your clear coat and adds a hard, hydrophobic layer. Water beads and sheets off, dirt struggles to stick, and UV can't fade the paint the way it does on an untreated car. In the Capital Region, the real win is winter: a coated car shrugs off road salt and is far easier to rinse clean between storms.

How it's done
We inspect the paint, do any paint correction needed (a coating locks in whatever is underneath, so we correct first), prep and panel-wipe the surface, apply the coating by hand, then let it cure. Door jambs are prepped as part of the process.
Why us
Premium coatings only (Gtechniq, CQuartz, System X), applied by a focused exterior specialist, brought to your driveway by a local 518 team.
Before You Book
Please arrive freshly washed. A standard automatic wash — Hoffman Car Wash, for example — is enough. We're exterior and paint protection specialists; we don't perform interior cleaning. Door jambs are handled as part of ceramic prep.
Common Questions
Can you ceramic-coat any car?
Just about any vehicle, new or used. We assess the paint first and tell you honestly whether correction is needed before coating.
Does my car need washing first?
Yes. Please arrive freshly washed; a standard automatic wash is enough so we can go straight to prep and coating.
Can you work in winter?
Yes — correction and ceramic run year-round in our heated bay.
Is this exterior-only?
Yes. We coat exterior paint, wheels, and glass. The only interior surface we touch is door jambs, as part of coating prep.
Why is mobile pricier than a shop?
You're paying for convenience. For protection work the result is identical to a shop — we just bring it to your driveway.
Do you treat door jambs?
Yes, but only as part of ceramic coating prep — these are exterior surfaces.
