Tesla Ceramic Coating Costs & Packages

That’s a perfectly fair question. When you see a DIY ceramic coating kit online for $100 and a professional service listed for over $1,000, it’s natural to wonder where the value is. We want to be transparent about this.

First, let’s acknowledge that there are tons of DIY kits available—some are great, and some are garbage. If you’re a hands-on person who is skilled with tools and genuinely enjoys the challenge of a weekend project, then a high-quality DIY kit might be the right path for you.

But for our clients, the value comes from a combination of factors that simply can’t be bottled into a DIY kit. This is where we shine (pun intended).

1. The Product: Certified, Professional-Only Coatings We have been doing this professionally since 2018, and in that time, we have tested and sourced the best “professional-only” ceramic coatings on the market. These are formulas that you cannot buy, even if you wanted to. They are sold only to certified, vetted, and trained installers because of their chemistry and specific application requirements. This ensures a higher level of durability, gloss, and performance than what is available to the consumer market.

2. The Process: The Value is in the Service, Not Just the Bottle A ceramic coating is only as good as the surface it’s applied to. The vast majority of the cost and labor in a professional application comes from the meticulous preparation work done before the coating ever touches your car. Our clients are paying for:

Expert Paint Correction: The craft of machine polishing to remove swirls and scratches, creating a flawless canvas.

The Right Tools: An investment of thousands of dollars in professional lighting, machine polishers, and measurement devices to ensure a perfect result.

Time & Environment: The hours and sometimes days of labor performed in a controlled environment to ensure the coating cures correctly without dust or contamination.

3. The Client: It’s a Service for Those Who Value Time and Guaranteed Results The DIY market isn’t really our target customer, and that’s okay. We are happy for any guy or gal who can expertly maintain their own car. Our clients come to us for specific reasons:

They don’t have the 10-20+ hours to dedicate to properly prepping and coating a car.

They don’t have thousands of dollars of specialized tools and the experience to use them safely.

They recognize there is a distinct craft to this art and want a guaranteed, professional outcome.

They understand the total value is in the service and peace of mind, not just the product cost.

A Critical Warning: Not All “Professionals” Are Created Equal This brings up an interesting and vital point—you absolutely need to vet the company you’re selecting. Unfortunately, we have seen all the potential negatives of a bad application (high spots, unevenness, premature failure) done by so-called “professionals.”

At this point, we would suggest you head to our main ceramic coating page. Take a few more minutes and read up on what you should be looking for before you fall victim to a ceramic coating scam. We believe an educated customer is the best customer, whether you choose us or not.
