Nothing Else Comes Close
Clean Car Collective employs a range of coatings, the best of which is STEK’s 5-year graphene-infused Quartz ceramic coating, a multi-layered, transparent, liquid Nano-ceramic coating. Once fully cured, this innovative technology chemically transforms, forming a long-lasting, robust, yet flexible shield on the surface of your vehicle. This ceramic coating can be likened to an extra layer of clear coat, boasting greater protection, hardness, and self-cleaning capabilities. Better yet, STEKQuartz is backed with a 5-year manufacturer warranty!

No-BS Guarantee
Top-tier service
- Quality Guarantee – Each coating comes with a warranty for the designated period. If you ever need additional servicing, we will help, no questions asked.
- Hydrophobic and self-cleaning – Water beads up, gliding off the surface of the paint, dragging dirt and contaminants with it.
- Retained Gloss – Nanoparticles level the paint, filling in light defects. This gives your paint “permanent” gloss and clarity for the duration of the coating.
- Surface protection – Protects your paint from dirt, tar, bugs, tree sap, and bird droppings.

Product
Does ceramic crack, fade, yellow or peel?
No, Ceramic coatings won't crack, peel, fade, or yellow. Ceramic coatings chemically bond to the paint, and are not able to "lift" from the surface. Car Pro's Cquartz has undergone rigorous testing and real-world trials in some of the most challenging environments consistently outperforming expectations."
Is ceramic an alternative to wax?
Yes, after applying ceramic coating, you'll never have to wax your vehicle again. Maintaining your vehicle's paint becomes as effortless as caring for your windshield or glass. No more need for abrasive washes, or additional waxes and sealants.
Will ceramic protect my car from scratches?
For the most part, no. Ceramic coatings will not resist heavy scratching and rock chips. A coating will however prevent light scratches from etching into the clear coat, so it can help to prevent light swirls and scratches.
Application
How long does the application take?
The ceramic coating process typically spans half a day to 2 days, contingent on factors like your paint's condition, vehicle size, and chosen packages. Here's an overview of the process:
- Vehicle Preparation: The first step involves thorough decontamination and preparation.
- Paint Correction: In the second step, any imperfections in the paint, such as swirls and scratches, are corrected according to the package you select.
- Surface Preparation: Once the vehicle is adequately prepped, a body shop-safe prep solvent is applied to prepare the clearcoat.
- Coating Application: At this point, the ceramic coating process commences. Ceramic is applied, leveled, and layered on each panel of the vehicle to achieve the selected package's specifications.
My car has scratches and swirls, can you still apply a coating?
Absolutely! For best results, we recommend restoring the paint's look before applying a coating to enhance the paint's clarity and gloss. Despite this, a coating can be applied to swirled and scratched paint, and will even help to level (cover up) light defects. If you are unsure of what packages are best for your vehicle, we recommend having a chat with any of our detailing specialists.
Can the service be done at my house?
Yes, our ceramic coating packages can generally be applied on-site at your premises. These may be weather-dependent, and if you have chosen a paint correction package, we may need to bring your vehicle to our shop.
Durability
Will ceramic protect from water spots?
No, ceramic coatings can't protect from water spots, but they will give you a grace period by preventing deposited minerals (water spots) from etching into your clear coat. This extends the lifespan of various materials such as metals, paints, gel coats, plastics, and vinyls. Being a silica-based or glass-like product, ceramic coatings offer considerable resistance to water spots, more so than clearcoats. Even though windshields, which are glass surfaces, can still acquire water spots, they are significantly less susceptible when coated with ceramic.
What can ceramic be applied to?
VINYL/WRAP: Ceramic coatings safeguard your vinyl wraps against spills, stains, oil, grime, and UV damage. The flexible nature of Ceramic Pro ensures it won’t crack or peel off the vinyl. It also provides a self-cleaning effect, making vinyl maintenance simpler and reducing the need for multiple cleaning products.
GLASS: Ceramic coatings can be applied to glass surfaces, creating an effective water-repellent layer.
CHROME: For chrome or polished finishes, ceramic coatings offer excellent protection against corrosion, oxidation, and discoloration.
PAINT/PPF: Applying ceramic coating is the most effective method to protect your vehicle’s paint, significantly reducing the risk of fading over time.
CARPET/FABRIC: Ceramic coatings can be applied to vehicle upholstery, rendering it resistant to stains and spills, thus preventing expensive damage to the interior.
TRIM: Ceramic coatings prevent trim from fading due to UV damage, and staining from the oils on your skin.
Maintenance
Do I still need to wax after ceramic is applied?
No. Ceramic coatings are a permanent replacement for wax.
Does this product require regular maintenance?
The coating is designed to offer performance benefits throughout the stated duration, regardless of whether you maintain it or not. That being said, for maximum performance and to extend the product's life, we recommend at least one RESET service every 6 months. These are offered at a discount to our ceramic coating customers.
How long after application can I wash my vehicle?
We require the car to be kept dry for a minimum of 1 hour after application, and 24 hours for best results. Please refrain from washing your car using harsh chemicals within the first 5 days after application, to allow the coating to fully cure.
