Ceramic protectant and wax in Lafayette, Louisiana
We use a professional ceramic protectant and wax rather than a permanent ceramic coating install. Applied by hand over properly prepared paint, it improves gloss, helps resist environmental buildup and makes routine washing easier while preserving the appearance of your vehicle.
Ceramic and wax options
Every package includes professional paint preparation, ceramic protectant and wax application, and the maintenance visits that keep it performing. The right option depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how it is stored and how it will be maintained.

Every ceramic and wax service begins with a full inspection and preparation process, because the product only performs as well as the surface underneath it.
Once the surface is properly prepared, ceramic protectant and wax is applied to:
Protection with realistic expectations
Ceramic protectant and wax helps protect properly prepared surfaces, but it is not an invisible shield against every type of damage. The best result comes from proper preparation, correct application, and regular maintenance.
Properly prepared paint gains a cleaner, deeper, and more reflective finished appearance.
Dirt and environmental buildup are less likely to bond as strongly, making routine washing and maintenance more manageable.
The product leaves a sacrificial layer against road film, weather, grime, and common environmental contaminants.
Ceramic protectant and wax does not replace paint-protection film and cannot prevent rock chips, deep scratches, dents, or improper washing damage.
California Gleaming Express Wash will inspect the paint and explain which option makes sense instead of automatically recommending the longest package.
Optional protection
Adds hydrophobic protection to exterior glass to help water move away more easily and simplify maintenance.
Adds protection to wheel and tire surfaces to help resist brake dust, road grime, fading and ongoing environmental buildup.
The result
Your vehicle is returned with improved gloss, durable protection and a surface that is more resistant to environmental buildup and easier to maintain through proper washing.
Long-term performance depends on maintenance, washing practices, storage, mileage and environmental exposure.
Final pricing depends on vehicle condition. Paint correction, contamination, and surface condition will determine the level of preparation required before application.
All ceramic and wax services begin with a consultation to assess the vehicle properly.
