Ceramic Coating in Meridian & Boise, ID is a liquid polymer applied to paint after thorough prep and correction. It cures into a durable layer that bonds to the clear coat. The result is a slick, glossy surface that sheds water, helps resist stains, and makes wash day faster. Now here’s the thing. Ceramic coating is not a shield against rock chips or deep scratches. For that specific need, pair it with Paint Protection Film.
At Upgrade Car Care, we apply coatings in partnership with InDepth Detailing. This collaboration lets us match your goals with a proven process and reliable support. If you are just starting your research, skim our Ceramic Coating page for a quick overview, then come back to this guide for the details.
Here is why drivers across the Treasure Valley love ceramic coatings.
A hydrophobic surface does not hold onto grime as stubbornly. Road film loosens with a proper pre rinse and foam. Drying takes fewer towel passes, which helps reduce micro marring.
Coatings enhance clarity. When we correct paint before application, reflections look sharp in sun or shade. The finish stays consistent when you follow simple care habits.
Sun exposure in Boise, ID and Meridian, ID is strong in summer. A coating helps your clear coat handle UV and makes it easier to remove bug guts and bird fallout before they etch.
We can coat painted panels, wheels, and trim for a uniform look and easier cleanup. Ask during your Consultation so we tailor the job to your vehicle.
You spend less time reapplying short term products. With good technique, ceramic coating maintains slickness and water behavior season after season.
Let’s break it down so you can choose with confidence.
