This detail provides our technicians with significantly more time, as well as the use of stronger cleaners and premium, longer-lasting protectants. If it’s been a while since your last service—or you simply want the best protection available—this premium detailing package is for you.
Ceramic coating is a clear, durable layer that’s applied to your vehicle’s paint to protect it from the elements and keep it looking freshly detailed—day after day.
Once applied, it forms a chemical bond with your paint and creates a slick, hydrophobic surface. Water beads up and rolls right off. Dirt, road grime, and bug splatter don’t stick the same way they used to. UV rays, tree sap, bird droppings, and other common threats? Much easier to clean and far less damaging when your vehicle is coated.
But the protection is only part of the story.
Ceramic coating gives your paint a deep, glossy finish that looks like it’s still wet—even when it’s dry. It brings out the richness in dark paints, adds vibrant clarity to lighter colors, and makes metallics shimmer in the sun. The result is a finish that gets noticed.
Unlike wax or sealants that fade in a matter of weeks, ceramic coatings are built to last. Depending on the level of coating you choose, your vehicle can stay protected and looking incredible for anywhere from one to ten years—with far less upkeep along the way.
At Moran’s Performance Detailing, we only use premium-grade ceramic coatings that have been tested in real-world Florida heat and humidity. We apply them with care, precision, and the same pride we’d give our own vehicles.
It’s not just a service—it’s an upgrade in how your vehicle looks, feels, and holds its value.
Ceramic coating is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to protect their vehicle’s paint and make maintenance easier. It’s especially beneficial for:
Daily drivers who want long-lasting protection against everyday contaminants.
Luxury and performance car owners looking to maintain the value and appearance of their vehicles.
Car enthusiasts who want to reduce the time spent cleaning and detailing their vehicle.
Owners preparing their vehicle for sale, as a ceramic coating can enhance the vehicle’s appearance and increase resale value.
Long-Lasting Protection:
Ceramic coatings provide months or even years of protection, depending on the type of coating applied. They shield your vehicle from harmful UV rays, oxidation, bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental contaminants.
Hydrophobic Properties:
The hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings means that water, dirt, and debris easily slide off your vehicle’s surface, making it much easier to clean and maintain.
Enhanced Shine and Gloss:
One of the main benefits of ceramic coatings is the high-gloss finish it provides. Your vehicle will maintain a deep, glossy shine that looks fresh off the showroom floor.
Scratch and Swirl Resistance:
While ceramic coatings aren’t completely scratch-proof, they provide a tough layer of protection against minor scratches, swirl marks, and abrasions.
UV Protection:
Ceramic coatings block harmful UV rays, preventing the paint from fading or oxidizing over time.
Improved Resale Value:
Maintaining the appearance and condition of your vehicle’s exterior can significantly boost its resale value, making ceramic coatings a great long-term investment.
At Moran’s Performance Detailing, we take great care to ensure the ceramic coating application process is thorough and precise. Here’s what you can expect when you book our ceramic coating service:
We begin by washing your vehicle to remove dirt, grime, and any surface contaminants. This step includes a clay bar treatment to remove embedded particles from the paint’s surface.
Before applying any multi-year ceramic coating (not included with 1-Year coating), we perform a paint enhancement to remove any swirl marks, or light imperfections. This ensures a flawless finish when the ceramic coating is applied.
Our expert technicians apply the ceramic coating by hand, ensuring even coverage on every panel. This layer bonds with your vehicle’s paint to form a durable, protective barrier.
After the ceramic coating is applied, it needs time to cure and bond with the surface. Your vehicle will sit in our air conditioned warehouse to ensure that it cures properly, and out of the elements. We allow adequate curing time to ensure optimal durability and protection.
Once the ceramic coating has cured, we conduct a final inspection to ensure every inch of your vehicle’s surface is flawless and protected.
Not all ceramic coatings—and not all installers—are created equal. If you’re comparing prices, make sure you’re comparing the right things. Here are a few key questions to ask before booking anywhere:
Is the entire vehicle coated—or just the paint?
At Moran’s, we coat the paint, trim, glass, and wheel faces in every package—because protecting only part of your vehicle isn’t really protection at all. Many shops only coat the paint and charge extra for everything else. We don’t believe in half jobs or sneaky upsells.
Is the vehicle cured in a climate-controlled environment?
Ceramic coatings need time and the right conditions to fully bond with your paint. We let your vehicle cure indoors, in our air-conditioned warehouse, away from humidity, dust, and pollen. This ensures better durability and finish—and it’s a step most mobile or budget shops skip.
Is a warranty offered—and is it backed by the manufacturer?
We use premium ceramic coatings that come with real warranties, not just a handshake. Depending on the package, you’ll receive a 1-year or 10-year warranty supported by the manufacturer—so you have peace of mind long after the job is done.
Are the installers certified or professionally trained?
Ceramic coating is not a DIY job. Our technicians are trained, experienced, and certified in the products we use. That means you get a proper install, not just a quick wipe-on-wipe-off.
When you’re comparing ceramic coating prices, don’t just look at the number—look at what’s actually included. At Moran’s Performance Detailing, we make sure you leave with the results you paid for: real protection, real gloss, and real value.

I didn’t grow up dreaming about detailing. My pops had real deal OCD when it came to cars — spotless, perfect, everything done a certain way. And me? I used to run from that. If he called me to help wipe down a car, I was gone, already halfway down the street with my friends.
Life got funny though… because everything I ran from ended up becoming the thing that saved me.
When COVID hit, I caught it. It knocked me off my feet and made me rethink everything. I was working security making $10 an hour, barely surviving, and after getting sick I realized that wasn’t the life I wanted to go back to. So I quit — no safety net, no idea where my next dollar was coming from.
That’s when detailing came back into my life. The same skill I avoided as a kid became my lifeline. I picked up a bucket and a vacuum, and somehow that turned into my first clients. Then more. Then more. Detailing literally kept me alive when I had nothing else.
Now it’s my passion. I love seeing a car transform, watching a customer smile, and knowing I brought something back to life. I’m constantly learning new skills — paint correction, interiors, coatings — because I want to take this as far as it can go. Long-term, I’m building myself into one of the top detailers in my city, skill-wise and service-wise.
Funny how God works… He took the thing I ran from and made it the thing that’s building my future.
I’ve always had an eye for the small details, which naturally led me into the world of detailing. Over the past 6 years, I’ve turned that passion into a craft—focused on restoring, protecting, and elevating every vehicle I work on. My long-term goal is to build a strong reputation for quality and care. What I enjoy most is seeing customers light up when they see the transformation. My philosophy is simple: treat every car like my own, work with precision, and never cut corners.
