Lakeland is hard on paint in ways that other places are not.

Love bugs. Twice a year, around May and again in September, they show up in numbers. Love bug remains are acidic. Left on hot paint for a few days, they etch into the clear coat and leave marks that only correction can remove. On a coated car, they wipe off.

Sun. Cars here sit in open parking lots all day. There is no shade at most offices, and covered parking is the exception. UV exposure is what turns a red car pink and a black roof gray.

Sprinklers and hard water. Polk County water leaves mineral deposits. If your car is parked near a lawn sprinkler or you dry it in direct sun, those spots bake on. A coating does not make water spots impossible, but it makes them far easier to remove before they etch.

Afternoon storms. Rain here is not clean. It picks up pollen, dust, and road film on the way down, then dries on your paint in the sun twenty minutes later.

Customers ask this constantly, so here is the plain version.

Car waxing uses mostly natural ingredients. It gives paint a warm, deep glow. It lasts a few weeks to a couple of months in Florida heat. It is the cheapest option and the shortest lived.

Paint sealant is fully synthetic. It lasts longer than wax — around three to six months — and gives stronger UV protection. Good middle ground.

Ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, not months. It costs more up front and requires real prep work. Over the life of the coating it usually costs less than repeated waxing.

Selling Your Car?
Higher Re-Sale Value!

After installation of our coatings, your vehicles value will organically increase! This added value to your vehicle is due to the added protection; this will also be reflected on your Carfax report.

Even if not selling your car, the coating still adds value. If you were in a car accident, often times insurance will cover the replacement coating or cost of the initial install!

Does It Really Add Protection?
ABSOLUTELY! Our coatings provide superior protection to the elements such as UV Rays, Dirt, Pollen, Pollutants and much more!

After installation, your vehicle will look brand new, and have a new and unmatched level of protection that will last for a years to come!

No More Constant Washing & Waxing
Hydrophobic means our coatings literally hate water...hydro (water) + phobic (intolerant/repulsed by) means that your cars paint will no longer be friendly with water.

How does this affect your car? In short, it largely keeps itself clean. Seriously.

Dirt, water, and elements roll right off allowing longer periods between washes. Plus, when you do wash it, the repellent coating causes the water to essentially bind to whatever dirt there may be making for an easy wash/rinse!

Unmatched Shine
Carpro Coatings provide your vehicle with an unparalleled & glossy shine that will last for years. We prefer to perfect your paint prior to installing our coating, giving your paint the best look it's ever had! This, plus the glassy/glossy layers of coating, create a shine like no other!

You might get paranoid everyone is staring at you, which they aren't. They are staring at your car.

How long does a ceramic coating last?
It depends on the product and how the car is maintained. Our packages range from entry-level to multi-year coatings. Coatings last longest on cars that get washed properly and get a ceramic spray top-up at maintenance visits.

Does a ceramic coating stop scratches?
No. It adds hardness and helps with very light marring from washing, but it will not stop rock chips or a key. Anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling.

Can you coat a brand new car?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. New paint still has swirls from dealer prep more often than people expect, so we inspect it and show you what we find before coating.

Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?
Not always, and not every budget allows for it. A coating locks in whatever is under it, so correcting first gives the best result. But a coating over uncorrected paint still protects, still sheds dirt, and still adds gloss. We quote it both ways and show you a test spot so you can decide.

How long does the appointment take?
Five to seven hours for a coating with full correction, depending on vehicle size and paint condition. Less if you skip correction.

Can I wash it myself afterward?
Yes, after the seven-day cure window. We will show you how to wash it without undoing the benefit.

What if it rains?
We work around Florida weather. If a storm rolls in mid-appointment we will reschedule the coating step rather than rush it. We will call you either way.
