What Ceramic Coating Does
Ceramic coating is a professional-grade liquid polymer that chemically bonds to paint or gel coat, creating durable surface protection that lasts years — not months like wax.
Benefits Include:
UV protection (helps prevent oxidation & fading)
Hydrophobic surface (water and dirt release easily)
Increased gloss and depth
Easier maintenance
Helps preserve resale value
What It Does Not Do:
Does not prevent rock chips
Does not make surfaces scratch-proof
Does not eliminate maintenance
Clear expectations. Professional results.
Our Professional Installation Process
Proper preparation determines longevity.
Every coating package includes:
Full wash & decontamination
Claybar treatment
Light 2-step paint correction (when necessary)
Surface prep for bonding
Professional ceramic application & cure time
If additional correction is required, we assess and discuss it before beginning.
No shortcuts.
Ceramic Coating Options
We offer professional-grade protection in:
3 - Year Ceramic Coating
5 - Year Ceramic Coating
10 - Year Ceramic Coating (warranty-backed & CARFAX registered)
We recommend the right option based on condition, usage, and long-term goals.
Vehicle Ceramic Coating
Ideal for daily drivers, new vehicles, and long-term ownership.
Exterior Surfaces coated:
Paint
Trim
Wheels
Headlights
Glass (improves rain & snow visibility)
Typical investment: between $800 to $1,500+.
Actual pricing depends on size and condition.
Interior Surfaces Coated:
Carpet
Doors
Dashboard
Seats
Starting from $300 for interior ceramic coating, with the price varying based on vehicle size. Interior coatings generally last up to 4 years.
RV Ceramic Coating
RVs are especially vulnerable to oxidation and UV damage.
Ceramic coating helps:
Slow fading and chalking
Protect large exterior surfaces
Simplify cleaning and maintenance
Oxidation correction may be required before application.
Marine Ceramic Coating
For gel coat and marine surfaces exposed to water and sun.
Benefits include:
Reduced staining
Improved gloss
Easier wash-down
Added UV defense

Aircraft Ceramic Coating
The ultimate in long-term paint protection. Our professional-grade aviation ceramic forms a semi-permanent, hydrophobic bond with the surface — repelling water, dirt, and UV for years. Easy to clean, and dramatically harder than wax alone.
Ceramic coating is:
HYDROPHOBIC
SEMI-PERMANENT
the first line of defense against contaminants
Oxidation correction may be required before application.
Who Ceramic Coating Is Right For
Ceramic coating makes sense if you:
Plan to keep your vehicle long term
Want easier maintenance
Care about preserving value
Prefer lasting protection over frequent waxing
It’s not designed as a temporary shine solution.

Ceramic FAQs
How long does ceramic coating really last?
Most professional ceramic coatings last 3 to 5 years with proper maintenance. 10-year coatings are designed for long-term durability, but longevity depends on how the vehicle is cared for, where it’s stored, and how often it’s exposed to harsh conditions.
No coating lasts forever without maintenance.
Do I still need to wash my vehicle?
Yes - ceramic coating makes washing easier and less frequent, but it does not eliminate the need for regular cleaning. Dirt, pollen, road grime, and salt still accumulate — they just release more easily from a coated surface.
Will ceramic coating hide scratches or swirl marks?
No. Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it. That’s why we perform paint correction before applying it. Minor swirls can be reduced, but deep scratches will not disappear unless corrected first.
Is ceramic coating worth it on an older vehicle?
It can be — if the paint is still structurally healthy.
If the clear coat is failing or heavily oxidized, coating may not be the right solution without restoration work first. We assess the condition and give an honest recommendation.
Sometimes correction alone makes more sense than coating.
What’s the difference between ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF)?
Ceramic coating adds chemical resistance, UV protection, and easier maintenance.
Paint protection film (PPF) provides impact resistance against rock chips.
They serve different purposes. Ceramic coating does not replace PPF.
Does ceramic coating help in winter?
Yes — it helps with:
- Water and snow shedding
- Easier salt removal
- Reduced buildup
However, it does not prevent corrosion if the vehicle is neglected. Regular washing is still important during winter months.
How do I maintain ceramic coating?
Maintenance is simple:
- Regular hand washing
- Avoiding automatic brush washes
- Occasional maintenance topper (if recommended)
We provide guidance after installation so the coating performs as intended.
How do I know if ceramic coating is right for me?
Ceramic coating makes sense if you:
- Plan to keep your vehicle long term
- Want easier cleaning
- Care about protecting value
- Prefer long-term protection over repeated waxing
- It’s not ideal if you’re looking for the cheapest short-term shine.
What our clients have to say:
Bonner Mobile Detailing did an amazing job on our car! I was shocked and thrilled how an older car can look close to new again! Totally professional service and the owner (Bonner County local family so please support them) is extremely kind and honest. Love that they came to my house - very convenient. Highly recommend!

Jaime with Bonner Mobile Detailing did an incredible job on our 4Runner! He handled both an interior and exterior detail, and even did some paint correction on a few spots that really needed it. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much sun damage had built up — I thought our car was supposed to be off-white, but after Jaime was done, it was actually white again! He stuck to the quoted price, communicated clearly throughout, and traveled from Priest River to Sandpoint without hesitation (and all he asked for was a glass of water). Honest, hardworking, and highly recommended!

Jaime came down to Sandpoint and did a great job on my F150. He was prompt, easy to schedule, and I didn’t have to do a whole bunch of figuring out how to ‘take my truck in’ logistics with the rest of the things I have on my plate.

The recent work of detailing my 2024 Toyota 4-Runner was excellent. Every aspect of the work was done meticulously. The vehicle appears just as when it came off the showroom floor at the Toyota dealer. I would recommend Jaime's work to anyone.
