Ceramic coating, on paint that's been corrected first
Pro Ceramic Armor pairs a light correction with a 1-2 year ceramic coating. The Elite Ceramic Finish gives the car 14 hours.
Chapter 01
A coating protects the paint exactly as it is
Put a coating over swirls, scratches or oxidation and you've sealed the flaws in with the shine. That's why a coating job starts with the paint, not with the coating.
Paint left bare has the opposite problem: nothing hydrophobic on it, nothing UV-resistant, and the plastic trim, wheel faces and glass left to fend for themselves. Cars parked on the street in Fishtown, Northern Liberties, Brewerytown, Queen Village and Olde Kensington take whatever the block brings.

Light correction first, then the 1-2 year coat
Pro Ceramic Armor is Light Correction + 1-2 Year Ceramic Coating: 6 hours, from $629. A single-stage polish and gloss enhancement come first, then the 1-2 year Adam's Ceramic Spray Coating goes on for hydrophobic protection.
It reaches past the paint too: ceramic on the plastic trim, the wheel faces coated, and a glass ceramic sealant. The diagram below puts each one on the car.
It's perfect for newer vehicles needing protection more than heavy correction.
Chapter 03
Hydrophobic, UV-resistant, easier to keep clean
A ceramic layer is hydrophobic and UV-resistant, which is what keeps the paint easy to maintain.
