Unleash Your Car's Ultimate Shine
Discover ceramic coating, the advanced protection that goes far beyond traditional wax. At TCDetails in West Babylon, New York, we provide your vehicle with a semi-permanent "glass shield," preserving its pristine look and enhancing its value. Explore how we redefine automotive detailing with passion and expertise.
Why Ceramic Coating Is An Investment, Not An Expense
Think of ceramic coating as a high-tech, semi-permanent "glass shield" for your car. Unlike wax, which is a temporary windbreaker, our ceramic coating is a custom-fitted suit of armor designed to protect and enhance your vehicle's appearance for years to come. Here's why it's worth it:
The "Forever Wax" Look
Experience an intense depth and gloss that doesn't wash away. Our coatings fill microscopic pores, making light reflect evenly for that sought-after "wet" look that preserves your car's aesthetic.
Serious Hydrophobic Properties
Our coatings create an incredibly slick surface where water, mud, and grime struggle to stick. This means easier cleaning, significant reduction in swirl marks from washing, and a car that stays cleaner for longer.
Protection From Environmental "Acid"
Guard against harmful elements like highly acidic bird droppings, bug guts, UV damage (which causes oxidation and fading), tree sap, and corrosive road salt, preserving your paint's integrity and vibrant color.
The TCDetails Ceramic Coating Advantage
At TCDetails in Northport, New York, our passion and expertise drive a superior ceramic coating experience. We combine high-end certifications with a uniquely transparent, customer-focused process, ensuring your vehicle receives unparalleled protection and care that stands out from the rest.
Why TCDetails Stands Out
As a certified installer for System X Professional Coatings, we offer professional-grade formulas not available to the general public or uncertified shops. This means maximum durability and a national manufacturer warranty backed by the manufacturer, giving you peace of mind beyond just our local shop's word. Our transparent process keeps you informed with real-time updates (photos and videos) and education every step of the way, unlike other shops.
Common Questions, Real Answers
Will ceramic protect against rock chips?
No, ceramic coating is chemical and UV protection, not impact protection. For physical impact against rocks and road debris, you need Paint Protection Film (PPF). In fact, PPF and ceramic coating can work together for ultimate protection.
Does this mean I never have to wash my car?
You still need to wash it, but it’s 70% easier. Dirt doesn't "bond" to the paint; it just sits on top. A simple pressure wash and gentle hand wash are usually all it takes. Never take a coated car through an automatic brush wash, as those brushes act like sandpaper and will dull the coating's gloss.
I have a brand new car; why do I need 'paint correction'?
Sadly, new cars often come with factory defects, swirl marks, or "haze" from dealership handling. Ceramic coating is a permanent sealer—if you coat over a scratch, you lock it in forever. We specialize in Certified Paint Correction to ensure we are sealing in perfection, not flaws, making your car "newer than new."
How long does it really last?
Longevity depends on the grade of product and maintenance. A professional System X coating at TCDetails can last 5–7+ years, but only if cared for. We recommend an annual "decontamination wash" to maintain its performance.
What happens if the coating fails or gets damaged?
This is where certification matters. As a certified installer, your coating is backed by a manufacturer warranty. If the coating stops performing as expected within the warranty period (assuming proper care), it can be inspected and repaired.
