Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is the foundation of long-term vehicle protection. At Manning Detail & Coatings, our coatings form a durable, transparent layer that protects your paint from UV damage, environmental contaminants, and premature aging while enhancing gloss and ease of maintenance. Our ceramic coating packages are built around real-world use, so your vehicle gets the protection it actually needs.
What is a Ceramic Coating?
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds permanently to your vehicle’s paint, creating a durable, glossy, and hydrophobic protective layer. Unlike waxes or sealants that wear off in weeks or months, ceramic coatings provide years of protection when properly maintained.
Think of it as a semi-permanent shield for your paint — enhancing shine, reducing maintenance, and protecting against everyday environmental damage.
What is a Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the mechanical process that levels the clear coat of a vehicle's paint in order to remove imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, and other surface damage. This process makes the surface glossy and increases the color depth of the paint.

Increased Durability
A Note on Care:
Ceramic coatings are an incredible way to protect and enhance your vehicle, but they aren’t indestructible. While they add durability and shine, they don’t make your car immune to scratches, rock chips, or neglect. The beauty and longevity of your coating will always depend on how the vehicle is cared for afterwards — think of it as a partnership between the protection we apply and the maintenance you provide.
P.S. You might notice that my coatings “don’t last as long as other companies”. I try to give you a realistic time frame based on an average time frame rather than the best-case scenario. How long a coating lasts greatly depends on the care afterwards. If a vehicle is properly cared for and garage kept, the coating will last longer than listed.

A Note on Ceramic Coating Care
Ceramic coatings provide exceptional protection, but they are not indestructible. They won’t prevent rock chips, deep scratches, or damage from improper washing. Longevity and performance depend on proper care.
Think of ceramic coating as a partnership — we apply the protection, and maintenance keeps it performing at its best
