Black sedan with glossy sealed paint after a ceramic spray sealant application in a driveway

Mobile package · Wylie, TX

Ceramic Spray Sealant

A spray-applied hydrophobic layer over clean paint, from $40 — added gloss, a slicker surface, and water that beads and rolls off. Not a multi-year ceramic coating.

What this service is

A ceramic spray sealant is a protective layer applied over clean, decontaminated paint. It is not a multi-year ceramic coating and we do not market it as one — it is a realistic middle ground that delivers genuine hydrophobic performance for months at a time without the cost and prep of a coating install. We apply it panel by panel and level it with fresh microfiber, which adds gloss and makes the surface noticeably slicker to the touch.

The benefit shows up the next time it rains or the next time you rinse the vehicle: water beads and sheets off instead of clinging, so less dirt stays behind as the vehicle dries and washing gets faster. Because a sealant can only bond to what is underneath it, we apply it after an exterior detail with clay bar — laying it over bonded contamination seals the contamination in and cuts the lifespan short.

What's included

  • Applied over freshly washed and clay-barred paint
  • Panel-by-panel application, leveled with clean microfiber
  • Hydrophobic water beading and easier rinse-offs while it lasts
  • Added gloss and a slick, easier-to-clean surface
  • Aftercare guidance so the sealant lasts

Who it's for

  • Vehicles parked outside that you would rather not wash as often
  • Drivers who want protection without committing to a coating install
  • Paint that has just been washed and decontaminated
  • Anyone who wants easier rinse-offs between details

How the appointment works

  1. 01Send a booking request through the homepage form, or call or text us with your vehicle and its condition.
  2. 02We reply with an arrival window and a condition-based quote — pricing depends on vehicle size and how much work the vehicle actually needs.
  3. 03We arrive fully equipped and work at your driveway or another eligible location you have permission to use.
  4. 04We finish with a walk-around so you can look over the work before we call it done.

Starting prices are published by vehicle size on the pricing section of the homepage. The final quote depends on your vehicle's actual condition, and any extra work is approved by you before it starts.

What you need to have ready

  • An accessible outdoor water spigot at the service location.
  • A standard 120V exterior outlet we can reach.
  • Room to work around the whole vehicle, ideally out of direct traffic.
  • Personal belongings, valuables, and child seats removed from the vehicle beforehand.

Honest limitations

  • This is a spray sealant, not a professional multi-year ceramic coating — expect months of protection, not years, and we do not promise a fixed lifespan.
  • It does not fill scratches, remove swirls, or correct paint defects; it sits on top of whatever is underneath.
  • It will not prevent rock chips, dings, or damage from contact.
  • It is applied over a clean, decontaminated exterior; applying it over bonded contamination shortens its life. It is an add-on from $40, booked with a wash.

Ceramic Spray Sealant FAQ

How long does the ceramic spray sealant last?

It is a spray sealant, so expect months rather than years, and how the vehicle is stored, washed, and driven changes that. A garage-kept commuter holds up longer than a vehicle parked outside year-round.

Is this the same as a ceramic coating?

No. A professional ceramic coating is a thicker, longer-lasting layer with a much more involved prep and cure process. A spray sealant delivers similar hydrophobic behavior for months instead of years.

Do I need the exterior detail first?

Yes. Sealant bonds to clean paint, so it is applied after a wash and clay bar decontamination.

Can I wash the vehicle normally afterward?

Yes. We give you aftercare guidance at the walk-around — gentle hand washing keeps the sealant performing longest.
