COVINGTON, KY · CINCINNATI & NORTHERN KENTUCKY
CERAMIC COATING
IN COVINGTON & CINCINNATI
Professional Ceramic Pro installation at our Covington shop. A hardened, glossy layer that makes washing easier and protects paint from UV, oxidation, bird droppings, brake dust, and road salt — with a warranty logged to your VIN.
WHAT CERAMIC COATING ACTUALLY DOES
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your clear coat. It is not wax. It does not wash off in a few weeks. Done correctly, it becomes a thin, slick, chemically resistant layer over the paint.
At Beyond Excellent Detailing we install Ceramic Pro in a controlled shop bay at 902 Washington St. in Covington — not in a driveway in January. That matters for bond quality in this climate.
PROTECTION FROM
- UV rays and oxidation
- Bird droppings and tree sap
- Dirt, road film, and brake dust
- Light marring and chemical stains
- Northern Kentucky winter salt exposure
A coating is not paint protection film. It will not stop rock chips or deep scratches. If you want impact protection, ask about PPF plus a coating on top.

Prices are starting points for typical vehicles. Heavily neglected paint or extra correction is quoted before we start.
HOW WE INSTALL IT
01
WASH
Safe wash with a PH neutral soap to remove loose dirt and any existing waxes without grinding into the paint.
02
DECON
Chemical iron remover first, clay bar second. Getting more waxes and embedded debris off the clear coat.
03
CORRECT
Minimum 1-step polish to 'exfoliate' the clear coat and make it as shiny as possible. More correcting done here if need be. A coating locks in whatever is underneath.
04
wax & grease remover
Body shop panel prep used on everything that will receive coating. This is the final step before coating, ensuring all remaining waxes are removed and we are working with a bare surface.
05
Coat
Ceramic Pro applied panel by panel in a clean shop bay.
06
CURE
Controlled cure, then we log the warranty to your VIN.
BUILT FOR THIS CLIMATE
Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are hard on paint: winter salt on I-75 and I-71, freeze-thaw, summer UV, and bird droppings that etch if they sit. Wax is gone in weeks. A properly prepped and applied Ceramic Pro coating is the maintenance upgrade that actually lasts here.
We coat cars, trucks, SUVs, and daily drivers from Covington, Newport, Fort Thomas, Florence, Erlanger, and across the river in Cincinnati.
WHY THIS SHOP
- Ceramic Pro installer — not a $30 spray bottle
- Indoor bay at 902 Washington St., Covington
- Warranty logged to the VIN and transferable
- Paint correction available when the finish needs it
- Straightforward pricing on the page
CERAMIC COATING FAQ
How much does ceramic coating cost in Cincinnati and Covington?
Sport starts at $175, Bronze $800, Silver $1,200, Gold $1,700, Interior $400. Size and paint condition can change the total if correction is needed first.
How long does Ceramic Pro last in Kentucky & Ohio winters?
It depends on the package and how you wash the car. Sport is the short-term option. Bronze, Silver, and Gold carry multi-year or lifetime warranties when maintenance requirements are followed. Salt does not erase a bonded coating the way it erases wax.
Do you have to correct the paint first?
If you can already see swirls or etching, yes — otherwise you seal them in. Light prep is part of coating. Multi-stage correction is quoted separately when the paint needs it.
Can I take it through a tunnel wash?
Avoid brush tunnels. Touchless or hand wash with a coating-safe soap is how you keep the warranty and the hydrophobic effect.
Does the warranty transfer when I sell the car?
Yes. It is logged to the VIN and transfers to the next owner.
Ceramic coating vs PPF — do I need both?
Coating = chemical, UV, and wash benefit. PPF = rock-chip and impact shield. Many trucks and commuters on I-75 do both on the front end, then coat the rest.
