Frequently Asked Questions
About Ceramic Coatings in Syracuse

How much does professional ceramic coating cost at Cantech Automotive?
Professional Gtechniq ceramic coating packages start at $999 for Crystal Serum Light (up to 5 years of durability) and $1,495 for accredited Crystal Serum Ultra (9-year guarantee with 10H hardness). Both packages include an EXOv5 hydrophobic topcoat and C5 Wheel Armour applied to wheel faces, with multi-stage machine paint correction priced separately based on clear coat condition.
Ceramic coatings form an optically clear, semi-permanent chemical bond that seals your paint. Applying a coating over existing swirl marks, micro-scratches, or oxidation will permanently trap those defects underneath. Machine paint correction levels the clear coat with dual-action polishers, ensuring the finish is swirl-free and high-gloss before the coating is locked in.
Crystal Serum Light provides up to 5 years of durable paint protection with a 9H hardness rating. Crystal Serum Ultra is an accredited-only formula featuring dual-layer ceramic chemistry that cures to a 10H outer shell, backed by a 9-year manufacturer guarantee for maximum chemical and scratch resistance.
No. Ceramic coatings protect against chemical staining, acid rain, bird droppings, UV oxidation, and fine wash-induced marring, but they are too thin to absorb physical impacts. For physical protection against stone chips, sand, and winter road gravel, Cantech recommends installing LLumar Paint Protection Film (PPF) on high-impact areas prior to applying a ceramic coating.
Owners must register their warranty with Gtechniq following installation and complete an annual inspection and maintenance decontamination service at Cantech Automotive. Vehicles should be washed using pH-neutral automotive shampoo and proper two-bucket microfiber washing techniques.
