TRAINED & CERTIFIED IGL COATINGS INSTALLER

Fort Worth's Best Ceramic Coating Services in the DFW Area, Texas

Protect your vehicle’s finish while dramatically enhancing its gloss, depth, and ease of maintenance with professional ceramic coating from Wash Doc Auto Detailing. Our ceramic coatings create a durable protective layer over your vehicle’s paint, helping defend the finish against UV exposure, environmental contamination, bird droppings, bug residue, road grime, and other everyday elements.

Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that require frequent reapplication, a professionally installed ceramic coating chemically bonds to the vehicle’s properly prepared paint to provide longer-lasting protection and exceptional hydrophobic properties. Water, dirt, and contaminants have a harder time adhering to the surface, making routine washing and maintenance significantly easier.

Wash Doc Ceramic Coating Limited Warranty

Wash Doc Auto Detailing offers a limited ceramic coating warranty for the stated duration of the coating package purchased, provided the vehicle remains enrolled in and compliant with Wash Doc’s required maintenance program.

Because ceramic coating performance depends heavily on proper washing, maintenance, environmental exposure, vehicle use, and aftercare, warranty coverage remains valid only while the coated vehicle is routinely maintained and inspected by Wash Doc Auto Detailing.

Our ceramic coating warranty are designed to give you peace of mind and long-term protection — when proper care and maintenance is followed.

What’s Covered

This limited warranty covers premature coating-performance failure under normal vehicle use when all required Wash Doc maintenance services have been completed, including:

• Premature loss of hydrophobic performance

• Premature loss of coating performance or durability

• Coating-related performance issues determined by Wash Doc upon inspection

• Corrective service to the affected coated area when Wash Doc determines the coating itself has prematurely failed

What’s Not Covered

This limited warranty does not cover damage or coating-performance issues resulting from:

• Scratches, swirl marks, rock chips, dents, impacts, accidents, vandalism, or physical damage

• Bird droppings, bug residue, tree sap, hard-water spots, mineral deposits, chemicals, or other contamination allowed to remain on the surface

• Automatic or brush-style car washes

• Improper washing, drying, chemicals, detailing products, polishing, compounding, or abrasive cleaning

• Neglect, abuse, environmental fallout, road debris, or conditions beyond Wash Doc’s control

• Paint, clear-coat, bodywork, repaint, or manufacturer/OEM paint failure

• Previously repaired or repainted surfaces and defects unrelated to the ceramic coating itself

• Surfaces that were not ceramic coated during the original service

• Work, detailing, polishing, or coating maintenance performed by another company or individual that negatively affects the coating

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

To maintain warranty eligibility, the coated vehicle must remain on Wash Doc Auto Detailing’s required maintenance program for the duration of the warranty.

Required maintenance includes regularly scheduled Wash Doc maintenance services and the required 6-month Full Detail and coating inspection.

During scheduled services, Wash Doc will maintain the vehicle using coating-safe methods and periodically inspect the ceramic coating. Decontamination or a ceramic coating maintenance product may be performed when necessary, based on the condition of the coating.

Failure to maintain the vehicle through Wash Doc Auto Detailing as required will terminate warranty coverage.

Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof, rock-chip-proof, stain-proof, or maintenance-free. Warranty coverage applies to qualifying coating-performance failures and does not constitute a warranty against damage to the vehicle’s paint or exterior surfaces.

Ceramic Coating Myths and Facts

Myth 1: Ceramic coating protects against rock chips.

FACT: Ceramic coating does not protect against rock chips or significant impacts. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is designed for physical impact protection. Ceramic coating instead provides a durable protective layer that enhances gloss, hydrophobic performance, and resistance to environmental contamination.

Myth 2: Ceramic coating will hide scratches and swirl marks.

FACT: Ceramic coating enhances gloss and depth, but it does not hide existing paint defects. Swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections may remain visible after coating. Professional Paint Correction is recommended when significant paint defects need to be corrected before the coating is installed.

Myth 3: Ceramic coatings prevent water spots.

FACT: Ceramic coatings provide excellent hydrophobic properties, but they cannot completely prevent water spots. If hard water is allowed to dry on the surface, minerals can remain behind and create deposits. Proper washing and drying are still necessary.

Myth 4: New cars don’t need ceramic coatings.

FACT: New vehicles can be excellent candidates for ceramic coating. Even new paint can acquire light defects from transportation, dealership preparation, washing, and handling. Proper preparation followed by ceramic coating can help preserve the vehicle's finish and make ongoing maintenance easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any questions about our ceramic car coating services? We have common answers for you.

1. How long does ceramic coating actually last?

The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on the coating selected, how the vehicle is used, and how it is maintained. Wash Doc offers 1-year, 3-year, and professional-grade 5-year ceramic coating options. Proper washing and routine maintenance are important for preserving the coating’s appearance, hydrophobic properties, and overall performance throughout its expected service life.

2. Is ceramic coating worth the cost?

For vehicle owners who want long-lasting paint protection, enhanced gloss, and easier maintenance, ceramic coating can be an excellent investment. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that require frequent reapplication, a professionally installed ceramic coating provides durable protection and hydrophobic properties that make the vehicle easier to wash and maintain.

Ceramic coating does not prevent rock chips or scratches, but it can help protect the paint from UV exposure, environmental contamination, bug residue, bird droppings, road grime, and other everyday elements.

3. Where are your ceramic coatings installed?

All ceramic coating installations are performed exclusively at our Haltom City, TX shop by appointment.

Ceramic coatings require proper surface preparation and controlled installation conditions, so we no longer offer ceramic coating installation as a mobile service.

Our shop conveniently serves customers throughout Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Keller, Southlake, Arlington, and the surrounding DFW area.

4. Does my vehicle need paint correction before ceramic coating?

Not necessarily. Every vehicle’s paint is evaluated based on its current condition. Our ceramic coating packages include a paint enhancement polish to improve gloss and properly prepare the surface before coating.

Vehicles with heavier swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots, or other correctable defects may benefit from upgrading to Professional Paint Correction before the ceramic coating is installed.

5. Does my ceramic coating include a warranty?

Warranty coverage is available on qualifying ceramic coating installations when the vehicle remains on Wash Doc’s required maintenance schedule. To maintain warranty eligibility, scheduled coating maintenance and inspections must be performed by Wash Doc Auto Detailing.

Warranty coverage applies to qualifying coating-performance failures and does not cover damage caused by improper care, scratches, rock chips, water spots, environmental contamination left on the surface, automatic car washes, or other outside damage.
