Graphene Ceramic Coating · Tigard, OR
A coating is a barrier, not a repair. Whatever the paint looks like when we apply it is what gets locked in — which is why the polishing matters more than the bottle. Every package here includes multi-stage correction before a drop of coating goes on.
See it turn
Watch the highlight travel across the paint as it turns. That unbroken, undistorted reflection is what a corrected and coated finish looks like — and it's the one thing a static photo can't prove.
360 spin goes here
Needs 24–36 photos taken around one finished car. Keep the phone at a fixed height and distance, step roughly 10–15° between shots, and shoot indoors under even lighting so the reflections stay consistent.

The Process
That single fact drives the whole job. Coat over swirled paint and you have sealed the swirls in for years. So most of the work happens before any coating comes out of the bottle.
Two-bucket wash, iron and tar dissolved, then clay to pull out everything still bonded to the paint. Nothing gets polished until the surface is truly clean.
Machine polishing across multiple stages to cut out swirls, light scratches and oxidation. This is the slow part, and it is the part that decides how the finished car looks.
Graphene coating applied panel by panel — paint, glass and wheels — then levelled by hand under inspection lighting so nothing high-spots.
The coating stays indoors while it cross-links and hardens. Rushing this is how coatings fail early, so the car goes home when it is ready.

Quote this packageEach coating occupies a bay for 2–4 days, so only a handful fit in a week. A $100 deposit holds your slot and comes straight off the final bill.
Two to four days depending on the package. Most of that is paint correction and cure time, not application — the coating needs to bond to the clear coat undisturbed before the car goes back outside.
This is the climate it earns its keep in. Nine months of rain, road film and hard water spotting are exactly what a graphene coating is built to shed. Water sheets off instead of sitting on the paint, and washing takes a fraction of the time.
Yes — a coating is not a force field. It makes washing dramatically easier and safer, because contaminants sit on top of the coating instead of bonding to your clear coat. Plan on a proper maintenance wash every few weeks.
Correction is machine polishing that removes swirls, light scratches and oxidation from the clear coat. It is the labor-intensive part. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so coating over uncorrected paint permanently seals in the defects.
Graphene-infused coatings run cooler in sun, resist water spotting better, and hold their hydrophobic behavior longer than traditional silica-only ceramics. In a wet climate that difference shows up fast.
Yes. A ceramic coating occupies a bay for multiple days, so a deposit holds your slot. It comes straight off your final bill.
