St. Joseph’s Premier Fireball Ceramic Coating Experts
REFRESH AND PROTECT YOUR CAR’S EXTERIOR WITH fireball CERAMIC COATING
A ceramic coating is a thin ceramic-based polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of your vehicle. Ceramic coatings differ from a traditional wax or sealant that sits on top of the finish like a layer of nail polish or shellac; instead, ceramic coating forms a strong bond with the surface to which it is applied, creating a much more durable and reliable bond. This means it'll last for several years with routine care and maintenance.
Ceramic coating can be applied to airplanes, trucks, tractors, trailers and much more!
Additionally, ceramic coatings are designed to stand up better than even dedicated ceramic finishes to corrosive agents, UV radiation, fuel spills, bugs, bird droppings, sap mist, tree sap deposits (when dried), road salt, and tar residue. You'll be amazed at how much easier ceramic coatings are to clean and maintain!
PROFESSIONAL CERAMIC COATING APPLICATION - A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT FOR YOUR VEHICLE
