Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating Packages
Unmatched Protection. Unbelievable Shine.
​
If you’re serious about protecting your investment and making your vehicle stand out, ceramic coating is the ultimate solution. At Xpress Auto Detailing, we offer professional ceramic coating services in Calgary that do more than just shield your paint — they transform the way your vehicle looks and feels. Ceramic coatings create a high-gloss, glass-like finish that dramatically enhances the depth, color, and clarity of your paint. The result? A showroom-level shine that lasts for years, not weeks. Beyond aesthetics, ceramic coatings form a durable, invisible layer of protection that defends against UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and other environmental contaminants. Whether you're driving a brand-new vehicle or restoring an older one, our coatings provide long-term value by keeping your vehicle cleaner, shinier, and better protected than ever before — all without the hassle of constant waxing or polishing.
​
Why Get A Ceramic Coating?
-
Long-Term Protection: Defends your paint against UV rays, bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, road salt, and chemical contaminants. For up to 7 years, unlike most waxes, which only last a few washes.
​
-
Hydrophobic Barrier: Water, dirt, and grime slide right off, making washes faster, easier, and less frequent. Also, ensuring no contaminants stay on your paint long enough to etch into it and cause damage.
​
-
Gloss Like No Other: Amplifies the depth, clarity, and shine of your vehicle’s paint with a mirror-like finish. Bring out the true colour of your car from under all that road grime and built up debris.
​
-
Resale Value Boost: Keeps your car looking newer for longer, maintaining its value and market appeal. Enhances selling ability and demonstrates a vehicle that's well taken care of.
​
-
No More Waxes: Say goodbye to monthly waxing and polishing. With ceramic coatings, protection lasts for years, saving you time & money wasted on regular polishes and waxes.
​
Is A Ceramic coating even worth it?
​
Absolutely — especially in cities like Calgary, where weather, salt, and dust can do serious damage to unprotected paint. A one-time investment in a ceramic coating can save you thousands in future paint repairs, reconditioning, and devaluation.
​
We offer multiple ceramic coating options tailored to your vehicle type, paint condition, and your goals — whether it’s gloss enhancement, ease of maintenance, or maximum durability. All coatings are applied by trained professionals using specialized prep, correction, and application processes.
ThE process
Preparation. Precision. Perfection.
​
Applying ceramic coating isn’t just a quick add-on — it’s a skilled, multi-step process that demands expertise, time, and the right tools. At Xpress Auto Detailing, we follow a meticulous preparation and application procedure to ensure your coating bonds properly, looks incredible, and performs for years to come. Skipping steps or rushing the job can lead to poor results, reduced durability, or uneven gloss — which is why every ceramic coating we apply is handled with exacting care from start to finish.
​
Step 1: Exterior Wash & Decontamination
​
We begin with a thorough two-bucket hand wash to remove dirt, grime, and surface contaminants. After the wash, we apply an iron remover and clay bar treatment to eliminate embedded contaminants that traditional washing leaves behind. This step ensures the paint is completely clean and smooth before any polishing or coating is applied.
​
Step 2: Paint Inspection & Correction
​
Before sealing in your paint with ceramic coating, we inspect the surface under professional lighting to identify swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches. If needed, we perform paint correction (single or multi-stage polishing) to remove these defects — because once a ceramic coating is applied, any imperfections underneath will be locked in. This step is crucial for creating a flawless, high-gloss finish and ensuring maximum coating adhesion.
​
Step 3: Surface Prep & Panel Wipe
​
After correction, we use a panel wipe solution (usually isopropyl-based) to remove any remaining polishing oils or residues from the surface. This allows the ceramic coating to chemically bond directly to the paint with no interference.
​
Step 4: Ceramic Coating Application
​
Using professional-grade applicators and microfiber suede cloths, we hand-apply the ceramic coating in small, controlled sections. Each panel is leveled and inspected for high spots, streaks, or inconsistencies before moving on. Depending on the coating selected, multiple layers may be applied for enhanced durability and gloss.
​
Step 5: Curing & Final Inspection
​
After application, the coating begins curing immediately — bonding at the molecular level with your clear coat. We allow ample cure time and perform a thorough final inspection to ensure a perfect, streak-free finish. We’ll also advise you on proper aftercare during the initial curing phase (typically 12–24 hours before water contact, with full hardness reached in about 7 days).
The result?
A slick, ultra-glossy surface that resists dirt, water, UV rays, and chemical contaminants — and looks stunning from every angle.

Paint Correction – Bring Your Paint Back to Life
Over time, your vehicle’s paint takes a beating — swirl marks from car washes, water spots from rain, fine scratches from daily use, and dullness from sun exposure and oxidation. Even brand-new vehicles can come with factory-installed imperfections or poor dealership prep work. That’s where paint correction comes in.
Before sealing in your car’s finish with a ceramic coating, it’s critical to ensure the paint is in its best possible condition. That’s where paint correction comes in.
Paint correction is a meticulous process that removes surface imperfections such as:
-
Light to moderate swirl marks
-
Fine scratches
-
Oxidation and dullness
-
Water spots
-
Light etching from bird droppings or bug splatter
Using specialized tools, compounds, and pads, our trained technicians carefully level the clear coat to eliminate these flaws — revealing a smooth, mirror-like finish beneath.
​
This is not a cover-up — we’re not just masking defects with wax or glaze. We’re permanently eliminating them by carefully leveling the clear coat using dual-action polishers, compound pads, and industry-leading abrasives.
​
In short: Paint correction turns back the clock on your paint — and ceramic coating locks in the results.
We offer both single-stage correction (ideal for newer or well-maintained vehicles) and multi-stage correction for more heavily worn finishes. We’ll assess your vehicle and recommend the best option for long-term results.
