Ceramic Coatings
in Portland, ORegon
Your car deserves more than just a quick polish
What Are Ceramic Coatings and How Do They Work?
Ceramic coating is a high-performance liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your car’s paintwork, curing into a solid, long-lasting protective layer. Unlike waxes or sealants that wear off after a few weeks, ceramic coatings form a durable shield designed to stand up to the elements for the long haul.
Once applied, it creates a glossy, ultra-slick surface that repels water, grime, road salt, tree sap, bird droppings, and UV rays. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, water beads up and rolls right off. Taking a good amount of dirt with it. That means fewer washes, easier maintenance, and long-term defense against paint fading or dulling.
In short, it’s like fitting your car with a permanent, invisible raincoat. One that boosts gloss, reduces wear, and actually holds up through real-world driving.

Why Choose Ceramic Coatings?
Ceramic coatings might sound like one of those things cooked up for flashy ads, but it’s the real deal. If you like your car looking sharp without spending every weekend washing and waxing, it’s a game-changer.
Wax holds up for a bit, sure. But throw in acid rain, pine sap, and a few messy drives through the Pacific Northwest, and it starts to give up pretty quick. Paint protection film (PPF) does a decent job with stone chips, but it’s not cheap, and after a while, it can yellow or peel. It also misses that deep, glassy shine a lot of people are after.

Portland’s Trusted Ceramic Coating Application Process
- We start with a proper decontamination wash. This strips away wax, tar, brake dust, bug splatter, and all the other clingy bits your car picks up on the road. Clean paint is essential before we get into polishing.
- Next comes the polishing stage. Using top-tier Rupes gear, we carefully remove swirl marks, haze, and light imperfections from the surface. This step takes the most elbow grease, but it’s worth it — once the ceramic coating goes on, whatever’s underneath gets sealed in for the long haul.
- After that, we do a chemical decon and panel wipe. Every panel, plastic trim, and bit of glass gets wiped down to remove any oils or polish residue, so the coating bonds directly and evenly.
- Then it’s time to apply the ceramic coating. We work it in using a precise crosshatch pattern, making sure every part of your car gets even coverage. This creates a smooth, invisible shield across the whole surface.
- Once the coating flashes, we level it with a soft microfibre towel and give it a final buff to bring out that deep, glossy shine. The car then rests in a controlled space for about 12 hours, allowing the coating to fully cure and harden. After that, it’s good to go.

Can you clean and detail my vehicle in the Portland rain?
Short answer is yes. In Portland, rain is very common and mainly it is manageable with a canopy our units are equipped with. The canopy needs some room to setup so there will need to be at least 5 ft clearance around the serviced vehicle plus close access to the service unit. If wind is above 20 mph while raining there is a possibility of reschedule. Please contact us if you think the weather will be an issue at time of service.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Yes. A 10% fee is assessed if the service is cancelled within 24 hours of the original wash date/time. To avoid this fee, you will need to reschedule the service which can be done easily from your confirmation email by clicking the “reschedule” button or email: contact@mobigleam.com
