Mobile Ceramic Coating in San Diego, CA
— We Come to You

Ceramic coating in San Diego costs between $499 and $1,299 depending on vehicle size, paint condition, and warranty duration. Larger vehicles such as trucks and SUVs are priced at the higher end of each range. All prices include mobile application — we come to your San Diego location. Prices may change so it’s better that you call us for accurate pricing.

Ceramic coating longevity depends on the product tier and maintenance. Our 2-year coating uses a single-layer 9H formula. Our 5-year uses a dual-layer system. Our 9-year coating uses a multi-layer premium ceramic. All carry a manufacturer warranty. With proper maintenance (pH-neutral washes, no automatic car washes), coatings regularly outlast their warranty period in San Diego’s climate.

Yes — San Diego’s UV intensity, marine salt air, and coastal humidity make paint protection significantly more valuable here than in most US cities. Ceramic coating blocks UV oxidation, repels salt and contaminants, and eliminates the need for annual waxing. A 5-year coating costs less than 5 years of annual waxing while delivering superior protection in San Diego’s conditions.

9H and 10H refer to the pencil hardness scale used to rate coating scratch resistance. 9H is the highest rating on the standard pencil scale. Some brands market “10H” products, but there is no established industry standard above 9H — treat 10H claims with skepticism. All Dennis Auto Details ceramic coatings are rated 9H, which is the verified maximum for professionally applied ceramic products.

No — ceramic coating does not hide existing scratches. It is applied over the paint surface, so any scratches visible before application will remain visible after. Our 9-year package includes a paint correction step that removes light swirls and scratches before coating is applied. If your paint has significant scratches, we recommend adding paint correction to your booking.

You should avoid washing your car for 7 days after ceramic coating is applied to allow full curing. After the initial curing period, use only pH-neutral car shampoo and hand washing. Automatic car washes with brushes will degrade the coating over time and are not recommended. Touchless automatic washes are acceptable occasionally, but hand washing is always preferred.
