Why it matters

Ceramic coating is in a different league than wax.

Wax sits on top of your paint, fades within weeks, and needs reapplying every few months. Ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and becomes part of the surface itself — harder, more hydrophobic, and far more resistant to UV damage. Water beads and rolls off, contaminants have nowhere to grip, and washing becomes genuinely easier because the surface stops holding onto dirt the way untreated paint does. Coverage isn't limited to paint, either — we can coat glass, wheels, and plastic trim for protection across the whole vehicle.

Paint protection film

The most effective physical barrier for your paint.

Clear, durable, and nearly invisible — PPF absorbs rock chips, road debris, and scratches before they ever reach your finish. Every package is custom cut to fit your exact vehicle.

Why it matters

PPF is how you protect what you've already invested in.

Paint protection film is a thick, optically clear thermoplastic urethane that absorbs the impacts your paint takes on every drive — rock chips on the highway, bug splatter on a road trip, scratches from a tight parking lot. Modern film is self-healing: light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat, no polish required. Installed correctly, it's virtually invisible. At Superior Detail, every installation is custom cut by certified professionals to your exact vehicle — no generic templates, no gaps, no lifting edges.

What Southern Illinois says about us.

★★★★★

"Wow, our truck looks amazing!!! This is our 4th vehicle now that we had ceramic put on. Denver and his team do awesome work. We bought this truck used and the paint had a lot of scratches on it. I can't believe how nice it looks."

— Chuck B.
★★★★★

"Took my 19 year old C6 Corvette to Superior Detail for a ceramic coat. I was very nervous about someone else detailing my Vette. Back in the day I was a detailer myself, but never having experience with ceramics I decided to let a professional do the work."

— Charles M.
★★★★★

"We keep coming back! These gentlemen are amazing! They detailed our 2011 Toyota Tundra inside and out and polished a front headlight which had dimmed and now looks fantastic! Coming back for a ceramic coat for my van next week."

— Michelle J.

Good to know

Common questions.

How much does detailing, ceramic coating, or PPF cost?

Pricing depends on your vehicle's size, condition, and the service you choose. Send your details through the quote form and we'll come back with an exact number — there's no obligation.

How long does a detail take?

A standard interior or exterior detail usually takes a few hours; a full detail takes longer. Ceramic coating and PPF installs take longer still since they involve paint correction and prep work — we'll give you a time estimate when you book.

What's the difference between ceramic coating and PPF?

Ceramic coating is a chemical layer that bonds to your paint, adding gloss and making the surface hydrophobic and easier to clean — but it doesn't stop physical impacts. PPF is a physical film that absorbs rock chips, road debris, and scratches before they reach your paint. Many customers run both together for full protection.

Is ceramic coating really added to my Carfax?

Yes. Every ceramic coating package we install gets logged to your vehicle's Carfax, which can support resale value down the line.

What's covered under the warranty?

Every ceramic coating package comes with an insurance-backed warranty — 3-year, 5-year, or lifetime depending on the package you choose. We'll walk through exactly what's covered when you book.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes — call, text, or submit the quote form and we'll get you scheduled. We're open Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm.

Can PPF really self-heal?

Modern PPF has self-healing properties — light scratches and swirl marks in the film disappear with heat, restoring the surface without any polish or product needed.

What vehicles do you work on?

Everything from daily drivers to classics — we've coated vehicles as old as a 19-year-old Corvette. If you have something unusual, mention it when you book and we'll confirm the details.
