Duluth Ceramic Coating for Cars and Trucks
For the best ceramic coating services for cars and trucks in the Duluth area, rely on the specialized expertise of AP3. Has your vehicle’s paint lost its luster? The moment you drive your car off the dealership lot, it becomes vulnerable to various environmental factors that can inflict significant damage on its paint surface. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down the paint, causing it to fade, while gravel and rocks perpetually create minor imperfections. XPEL ceramic coating completely replaces the need to wax your vehicle, preserving its luster and shine for years to come.

What is Ceramic Coating?
Have you ever washed a non-stick frying pan? XPEL Ceramic Coatings create a hydrophobic shield for your car’s paint, making it difficult for dirt, debris, or anything at all to stick to it. For something as large as a car, the benefit here is massive, ensuring your car’s paint stays fresh and easy to maintain with every wash. Unlike traditional wax and sealants, ceramic coatings boast long-lasting effects, requiring minimal upkeep. The benefits of XPEL Fusion Plus Premium Ceramic Coating have an expected lifespan of 8+ years, which is safeguarded with manufacturer product warranty along with AP3’s in-house labor warranty.
This versatile coating is applicable to both the interior and exterior surfaces of your vehicle, providing the flexibility to treat virtually any touchpoint of your vehicle. Notably, ceramic coatings pose no threat to your car’s paint and can be safely removed without causing damage.
How Long Does Ceramic Coating Installation Take?
Most ceramic coating installations can be performed within a day or two. Vehicles with minimal defects may be able to be done within 24 hours. Darker vehicles may require more polishing time and take longer to complete. If the vehicle has extensive paint defects, these may require more advanced paint correction efforts before ceramic coating work can begin. When you bring your vehicle in for a consultation, our staff can give you an accurate estimate of how long the process will take.
What Does Ceramic Coating Installation Entail?
Ceramic coating installation requires a detailed process to achieve optimal results. Before ceramic coating can be applied, the paint surface must be free of any contaminants and blemishes. Our team begins with a thorough paint prep process consisting of a multi-stage decontamination wash, clay bar application, and iron removal treatment. The next step is a technician-guided paint correction that will refine the clear coat layer of your paint to remove fine imperfections, such as swirl marks or inconsistencies in the finish.
Once we have honed the surface to immaculate condition, the ceramic coating is applied by hand, one panel at a time to achieve accuracy and finality. Once the coating has dried, we perform quality control checks to ensure the product has bonded correctly and no streaks have been left behind. When XPEL Fusion Plus Premium Ceramic Coating is combined with Paint Protection Film (PPF), your vehicle boasts the most advanced surface protection and finish achievable – preserving it from anything that may come its way.
Ceramic Coating Maintenance
Once your car receives its ceramic coating, there are a few things you can do to help maintain it for optimal results. Ceramic coating can take a few weeks to completely cure to its full strength, so it’s important to wipe away bug guts or bird droppings as soon as possible within the first month of application. Regularly rinsing with a hose or low-PSI pressure washer and then drying with a leaf blower is a great way to stop the build-up of dirt and make your wash day much easier.
Use pH-neutral soaps when washing at home, and use a microfiber mitt designed specifically for auto care when applying soap. A coated vehicle should allow for an effortless “glide” across the surface. There should never be a need for hard scrubbing. Regular annual maintenance inspections will improve the performance of your coating and extend its lifespan.
