Detailed add-on guide

Ceramic Spray Protection

A quick protective upgrade that adds gloss and water behaviour after an exterior service, without presenting it as the same product category or durability as a professional long-term ceramic coating.

Price by condition, not guesswork

Pricing basis: vehicle size after compatible wash/prep.

Standard service

From $69 small / $89 mid / $109 oversize
30–60 min

This is short-term spray protection, not a multi-year coating; heavy prep is separate.

Starting prices are in CAD before HST. Vehicle size and condition can change labour. Quote-required services are not finalized until the condition/scope is reviewed.

Why this service has its own page

  • Customers searching for ceramic spray protection need to know whether they have a light maintenance problem or a restoration-level job before choosing a price.
  • The workload can change with vehicle size after compatible wash/prep; this page explains the decision points instead of hiding them behind a single add-on number.
  • A dedicated page lets us show process, limitations, condition photos, realistic time and a clear estimate path while keeping one focused H1 and one service intent.

Best fit for

  • Designed for customers wanting affordable short-term gloss and hydrophobic protection.
  • Our normal workflow uses wash/prep compatible paint, apply spray protectant evenly, level residue and inspect for streaking/high spots.
  • Starting price is only the lower condition tier; vehicle size after compatible wash/prep determine the confirmed price.
  • Oxford and Norfolk County mobile service is planned around driveway/site access, weather, water/power rules and the time the vehicle actually needs.

How the process usually works

  • 1. Condition review — photos help us identify the likely tier, but we keep the right to adjust after hands-on inspection.
  • 2. Preparation — Paint should be clean; bonded contamination or correction is separate.
  • 3. Service work — Wash/prep compatible paint, apply spray protectant evenly, level residue and inspect for streaking/high spots.
  • 4. Re-check — we inspect the surface/material after the first treatment cycle before deciding whether more aggressive work is justified.
  • 5. Finish/protection — we complete the appropriate finishing, drying or protection stage instead of stopping at the visually dramatic middle step.
  • 6. Handoff — we explain the result, remaining limitations, aftercare and what would be required if a deeper restoration is still wanted.

Equipment and workflow

  • inspection lighting and condition photos to record the starting point
  • cleaners/chemicals selected for the actual material and contamination rather than one universal product
  • microfiber, brushes, pads, extraction/polishing/application tools appropriate to the service
  • mobile water/power and containment/drying equipment where the job requires it

What’s included

  • initial condition assessment and scope confirmation
  • the normal labour and materials required for the accepted condition tier of ceramic spray protection
  • result review and realistic discussion of remaining defects
  • basic aftercare guidance

What is not automatically included

  • unrelated repair work; durability is shorter than a dedicated coating and depends heavily on prep, weather and wash chemistry
  • parts replacement, mechanical/electrical diagnosis, body repair or hazardous-material remediation unless explicitly quoted
  • extra correction/disassembly discovered after work begins unless we stop, explain it and receive approval

Before we arrive

  • Paint should be clean; bonded contamination or correction is separate.
  • Remove valuables and loose items that block the work area.
  • Share photos and describe previous repairs/treatments or the cause of the problem when known.

Aftercare

  • Use gentle washing and reapply as maintenance when water behaviour and slickness decline.
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry as instructed during any cure/dry period.
  • Contact us if the original problem quickly returns; recurrence can indicate an untreated source, damage or maintenance issue.

When we pause and re-quote

Starting prices are tied to the visible condition tier. We confirm expanded work before proceeding.

  • condition appears substantially worse than the starting-price tier
  • the work would require disassembly, repeated extraction/correction cycles or a different product system
  • physical damage, unsafe access, electrical/mechanical issues or hazardous contamination is discovered
  • the requested result is not realistic without a different service or replacement/repair

Things to know, avoid, and plan for

  • Starting prices are in CAD before HST. Vehicle size and condition can change labour. Quote-required services are not finalized until the condition/scope is reviewed.
  • Key limitation: durability is shorter than a dedicated coating and depends heavily on prep, weather and wash chemistry.
  • Photos reduce surprises but do not always show depth, texture, saturation, paint thickness or hidden contamination.
  • We would rather stop and re-quote than rush a severe job at a light-condition price.
  • HST is additional unless a displayed checkout total explicitly says otherwise.
  • Weather/site conditions can change whether a mobile process is appropriate on the scheduled day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does ceramic spray protection cost?

The current starting price follows the condition table on this page. Final pricing depends on vehicle size after compatible wash/prep. Quote-required jobs are confirmed after condition review rather than charged as a blind flat fee.

Can photos give an exact quote?

Photos are very useful for triage and often establish a likely range, but they can miss depth, texture, hidden moisture, paint condition or access issues. We confirm the scope before doing work outside the quoted tier.

How long will it take?

Typical added time is 30–60 min. Severe conditions, drying/cure time or disassembly can extend the job.

Will it look brand new?

We aim for the best safe improvement, not an impossible guarantee. Durability is shorter than a dedicated coating and depends heavily on prep, weather and wash chemistry. We explain visible limits before escalating the process.

Can this be added to any package?

Compatibility depends on the add-on and the preparation already included in the main package. Booking will show the available path; we may recommend a different base package when the add-on would otherwise duplicate work or lack required preparation.
