Ceramic Coatings
in Vancouver, WA
Trusted Paint Protection. Perfect for Sedans, SUVs, and Collectors
What Is Ceramic Coatings?
Ceramic coatings is a liquid polymer made from nano-ceramic particles that chemically bond with your vehicle’s clear coat. Once cured, it creates a slick, hydrophobic, and incredibly durable layer like an extra sheet of glass, but flexible enough to handle daily wear and tear. At MobiGleam, we exclusively use System X professional-grade coatings, which aren’t available to the public and requires exact precision application.
This is different from wax or quick shine. It’s a pro-grade, long-term solution built for real-world driving in Vancouver, WA, where cars take a beating from rain, road salt, pine needles, pollen, bird mess, and that weird grey slush that appears out of nowhere after a weekend grocery run. Our coatings don’t just look good. They hold up, season after season.

Why Ceramic Coatings Outperform Wax and Wraps
Wax: Looks alright for a couple months, but it doesn’t hold up to acid rain or the tree sap that comes with living in the Pacific Northwest.
Paint protection film (PPF): Helps with stone chips, but it costs a lot more and can yellow or peel over time. Doesn’t give you that sleek, wet-look shine either.
Our ceramic coatings: Give your car a serious shine, protect from UV rays, tree gunk, and traffic grime, and make cleaning way easier. Once it’s on, it stays on. No fading, no flaking, no nonsense.
We exclusively use System X ceramic coatings that are certified for professional use only. Alongside that, we rely on Rupes polishers and compounds, known for their quality and consistent results. It’s top-tier gear from start to finish.

Rupes System
Polishers and Compounds
When it comes to polishing, there’s gear — and then there’s Rupes. These Italian-made polishers and compounds are known around the world for their precision, smooth handling, and consistent results. We use them because they’re the gold standard, plain and simple.
Whether we’re cutting through years of swirl marks or fine-tuning a nearly perfect finish, Rupes tools give us the control and clarity we need to make your paint pop. Their compounds are designed to work with their machines in perfect sync — no guessing, no gimmicks, just seriously refined results.
The Process of How We Apply Ceramic Coating
1. Decontamination Wash: Paint and body prep is where most of the work (and cost) happens. We thoroughly wash the vehicle to remove waxes, tar, brake dust, bug splatter, and anything else clinging to the surface. This ensures a clean base before we move into correction.
2. Polishing: Using Rupes polishers and compounds, we carefully remove swirls, haze, and light imperfections from the paint. This is where most of the labor goes because once the ceramic coating is applied, any defects underneath get locked in for good.
3. Chemical Decon and Panel Wipe: After polishing, we do a chemical wipe-down to remove all residual oils, dust, and polishing compounds from every panel, including plastics and glass. This ensures the coating bonds directly to the surface without interference.
4. Coating Application: We apply the ceramic coatings in a precise crosshatch pattern a criss-cross technique that guarantees even coverage across every inch of your car. This helps create a seamless, invisible layer of protection.
5. Levelling and Final Buff: Once the coating flashes (meaning it’s ready), we level it with a microfiber towel. Then we use a separate clean towel to buff the surface to a deep, slick shine.
6. Controlled Curing: The vehicle is left to cure for around 1-2 hours in a controlled environment, which allows the coating to fully bond with the paint. Once cured, the hydrophobic surface is ready to resist water, dirt, UV rays, and more…just wait 7 days to wash with chemicals.
Built for the Vancouver Climate
Here in Vancouver, WA, we get the full weather buffet. One month it’s sideways rain and icy slush, the next it’s blazing sun, construction dust, and wildfire smoke blowing down from the hills. Spring brings the pollen storm. Autumn means soggy leaves stuck to your rockers. And all year long, there’s the usual mix of bird mess, tree sap, and that mystery grime from parking anywhere near a shopping center.
Our ceramic coatings are built to handle it all. Water beads up and rolls away. Dirt and dust don’t cling like they used to. UV rays won’t cook your paint or fade your trim. Even in winter, your car stays cleaner longer and looks less wrecked between washes. In summer, the coating helps repel that dry road dust that settles after a single drive and makes rinsing it off a breeze.
Whatever the season, our coatings make it so you’ll never wax again keeping your car looking freshly detailed, all the time.

Frequently Asked Questions
For any further questions, reach out to us today. When you’re thinking about ceramic coatings in Vancouver, WA reach out to MobiGleam. Our team of experts is here to help you!
How much does it cost?
It depends on your car’s size, condition, and how much correction work is needed. Our packages range from $825 to $1,325+, with optional upgrades for glass, wheels, and interior protection. We’ll walk you through it and give you an honest quote. No pressure, no surprises.
Do you offer mobile service?
We do, especially with our RESTORE package. If you have a garage we can make it happen. It’s ideal for older vehicles that need some love — we can remove years of swirl marks, oxidation, and dullness before locking in the results. The turnaround is often night and day.
Will I still need to wash my car?
Yes, but not nearly as often. The slick, hydrophobic layer repels most dirt and grime, so regular washes become quicker and easier. Your car stays cleaner for longer, with less effort on your end.
Does it protect against scratches or stone chips?
Short answer: no. Anyone saying otherwise is having you on. Ceramic adds a tough, hydrophobic surface, but it’s not bulletproof. Deep scratches and rock chips can still happen, especially at highway speeds. If you’re worried about impact damage, ask us about Liquid PPF (LPF) from NanoPro ceramics.
How long does the protection last?
With proper care, you can expect up to 10 years of durability. Every package includes a 10-year warranty and gets registered with CARFAX for added peace of mind.
Is it still worth it for an older car?
Definitely. In fact, older vehicles often see the most dramatic results. Our RESTORE package is designed to bring back depth, clarity, and shine before sealing it in. The finish speaks for itself.
