GlossTech ProSeries: Three Coating Tiers Compared

Automotive ceramic coating Markham drivers trust starts with the right product. We install GlossTech ProSeries with three tiers covering vehicle paint, wheels, brake calipers, paint protection film, vinyl wraps, and glass, professionally applied at our Markham studio.

We are honest about what ceramic coatings can and cannot do, and we match the tier to how you actually use the vehicle, not just the most expensive option we offer.

What It Is

A Liquid Nano-Ceramic That Chemically Bonds to the Surface

A ceramic coating is a liquid-applied formula that, once cured, chemically bonds to the underlying surface and forms a transparent protective layer. The result is a durable, hydrophobic finish that enhances gloss, resists contamination, and outlasts traditional waxes and sealants by years.

On a vehicle, that means cleaner panels for longer, easier washes, and protection against UV oxidation, road grime, and chemical staining. The same chemistry can be applied to wheels, brake calipers, paint protection film, vinyl wraps, and glass with formulations tuned to each surface.

We install GlossTech ProSeries coatings, which use a "True Ceramic" Polysilazane technology in a fluorine-free formula. Independent lab testing and real-world torture testing back the durability and chemical-resistance claims for each tier.

For maximum exterior defence, ceramic coatings are often paired with paint protection film, which adds impact resistance against stone chips and road debris. If you are deciding which protection belongs where, see our PPF vs ceramic coating comparison.

At a Glance

What a Ceramic Coating Does

Hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and grime
UV resistance to slow oxidation and fading
Enhanced gloss and surface clarity
Easier maintenance with fewer harsh cleaners
Years of performance per application

Where It Works

What We Coat on Your Vehicle

Three categories cover everything we coat on the vehicle itself. Each uses a formulation tuned to the surface, not a single product stretched across mismatched materials.

Paint

Vehicle Paint

Daily drivers, weekend cars, and high-end vehicles. Enhances gloss, repels contamination, and simplifies maintenance.

Wheels & Brakes

Wheels & Brake Calipers

High-temperature ceramic for brake dust resistance and easier wheel cleaning. Engineered for thermal stress and chemical buildup.

Film & Wrap

PPF & Vinyl Wraps

Film-specific ceramic that bonds to porous PPF and vinyl surfaces without altering finish, whether gloss, satin, or matte.

Coating homes or commercial spaces instead? See our residential and commercial ceramic coatings page, where we install HomeArmor for stone, tile, glass, metal, and appliance surfaces.

Packages & Pricing

GlossTech ProSeries Automotive Coating Packages

Three core tiers chosen by how long you plan to keep the vehicle and how much maintenance you want to reduce. Read our guide to ceramic coating lifespan for the factors behind real-world durability. Every automotive package includes wash, decontamination, paint prep, a light enhancement polish, and careful coating installation.

Package pricing is based on new or well-maintained vehicles requiring light polishing. Used vehicles with heavier swirling, oxidation, water spotting, or deeper defects may require additional correction time.

New / Well-Kept Vehicles

Starting Package Pricing Usually Applies

Newer or well-maintained vehicles typically need lighter preparation before coating. This includes wash, decontamination, paint prep, a light enhancement polish, and coating installation.

Used / Heavily Swirled Vehicles

Correction Is Quoted After Inspection

Ceramic coating locks in the surface underneath it, so paint condition matters. Vehicles with heavier wash damage, oxidation, water spotting, or deeper defects may need additional polishing before coating.

Add-Ons

Specialty Coating Options

Targeted coatings for surfaces that need their own product chemistry.

Specialty

Wheels & Caliper Coating

From $95 per wheel

High-temperature ceramic engineered for wheels and brake calipers. Reduces brake dust adhesion and protects against thermal stress and chemical buildup.

Specialty

PPF & Vinyl Ceramic

From $695

Ceramic formulated specifically for paint protection film and vinyl wraps. Improves water spot resistance and hydrophobic behaviour without altering the underlying film finish, whether gloss, satin, or matte.

Specialty

ProSeries Glass Coating

From $249

Hydrophobic glass ceramic designed to improve clarity, water shedding, and surface slickness. Helps reduce hard-water buildup, fingerprints, and everyday contamination for easier glass maintenance.

All prices in CAD before tax. Final quotes depend on vehicle size, panel condition, and the level of paint correction required.

Honest Framing

When a Ceramic Coating Is the Right Call

Coatings are valuable when matched to the surface and the owner. They are not the answer for every situation, and we will tell you when something else, or nothing at all, is the better choice.

Where Ceramic Coating Makes Sense

Vehicles you plan to keep for several years
Owners who want easier washes and less product buildup
Cars exposed to road grime, salt, and pollen
Surfaces where staining or water spotting is a recurring issue
Buyers protecting a long-term investment in a vehicle, home, or commercial space

Where Other Solutions May Fit Better

Vehicles with significant paint damage that needs full correction or repaint
Short-term ownership where the investment cannot pay back
Highway-driven vehicles where stone chip protection matters more than gloss, in which case PPF is the better starting point
Surfaces with active damage or contamination that prep cannot fully resolve

Benefits

What Ceramic Coating Improves

Real, measurable benefits across appearance, longevity, and day-to-day maintenance.

Hydrophobic Water Beading

Water sheets off the surface instead of pooling, dragging dirt with it and leaving less to clean.

UV & Oxidation Protection

Slows the fading and clear-coat oxidation caused by years of sun exposure on automotive paint and other surfaces.

Enhanced Gloss

Adds clarity and depth to the underlying surface. Paint looks deeper, stone looks richer, glass looks cleaner.

Chemical Resistance

Buffers the surface against bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and household chemicals that would otherwise etch or stain.

Easier Maintenance

Less frequent washing, fewer harsh cleaners, no need for waxing. Routine upkeep takes less time.

Long-Term Surface Value

Slows the wear and dulling that accelerates surface aging, helping preserve value over years of use.

Our Process

What Working With Us Looks Like

Coating performance starts with proper prep. A clean, properly corrected surface is what makes a ceramic coating last.

Consultation & Tier Selection

We review your vehicle or surface, discuss how it is used, and recommend the tier that fits how long you plan to keep it. Coatings should match ownership timelines, not just budget.

Decontamination & Surface Enhancement

Surfaces are washed, decontaminated, and inspected. A light enhancement polish is included in every automotive package to improve gloss and clarity before the coating is applied. Heavier correction is quoted separately when required. Read our paint correction guide to understand when a light enhancement or multi-stage correction makes sense.

Coating Application & Curing

The coating is applied in controlled conditions, panel by panel, with proper flash and leveling time at each step. The product then cures inside the studio before the vehicle returns to service.

Walkthrough & Aftercare

We review the finished result with you and explain wash technique, products to avoid, and what to expect in the first week of curing. Keep our ceramic coating maintenance guide handy for the recommended care routine.

Complete the Build

Complete Your Vehicle Protection

Ceramic coatings work best as part of a full protection approach. Many of our coating clients also invest in paint protection film, window tint, or vinyl wraps.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Ceramic Coating Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most before installation.

How long does a ceramic coating last? +

Coating longevity depends on the tier selected, how the vehicle or surface is used, and how it is maintained. Our automotive packages run from 2 years to 6 years of expected performance under normal use. We will explain realistic expectations during your consultation and recommend an option that matches how long you plan to keep the vehicle or surface.

What ceramic coating brand do you use? +

We are an Authorized GlossTech Installer and install the GlossTech ProSeries lineup: Select (2-year), Elite (4-year), and Signature (6-year). GlossTech ProSeries uses a "True Ceramic" Polysilazane technology in a fluorine-free formula, manufactured in the USA. The coatings are independently lab tested and vehicle torture tested before release, which is part of why we chose the brand.

What is the difference between ProSeries Select, Elite, and Signature? +

The three tiers differ in expected service life, active solids, chemical resistance, and gloss depth. ProSeries Select (2-year) is our entry-level option, suitable for shorter ownership or lighter-duty vehicles. ProSeries Elite (4-year) is our most popular package, with "True Ceramic" Polysilazane technology and chemical resistance across pH 1 to 13. ProSeries Signature (6-year) carries the highest active solids and thickest ceramic layer in the lineup, with broad chemical resistance across pH 1 to 14 and added UV protection. All three include minor paint correction.

Can ceramic coatings prevent scratches? +

Ceramic coatings are not scratch-proof. They can help reduce the visibility of light swirl marks and micro-abrasions caused by improper washing, but they do not protect against rock chips or deep scratches. For impact protection, paint protection film is the better solution.

Are ceramic coatings worth it on a new vehicle? +

Yes. Applying a ceramic coating early helps preserve the factory finish, adds a hydrophobic barrier, and simplifies ongoing maintenance. Many owners coat new vehicles to protect the paint from the start rather than correcting damage later.

Is paint correction included with a ceramic coating? +

Every automotive ceramic coating package includes a light enhancement polish to improve gloss and prepare the surface before coating. Heavier paint correction, deep scratch reduction, oxidation removal, water spot removal, or multi-stage compounding may add to the quoted price depending on paint condition.

Do you offer ceramic coatings for non-automotive surfaces? +

Yes. We are a Certified HomeArmor applicator and install ceramic coatings for stone, tile, glass, metal, brass, chrome, and appliance surfaces in homes and commercial spaces. See our residential and commercial ceramic coatings page for details. HomeArmor is a different product line from GlossTech ProSeries because the chemistries, cure profiles, and expected performance differ between vehicle and interior surface use cases.

Can ceramic coating be applied to vehicle glass? +

Yes. We offer GlossTech ProSeries Glass Coating starting at $249 for windshields and automotive glass. It improves clarity, reduces glare, creates a hydrophobic surface that sheds water and dirt, and helps make automotive glass easier to maintain in rain, snow, and daily driving conditions.

Can ceramic coating be applied to paint protection film or vinyl wrap? +

Yes, with the right product. We offer a PPF and Vinyl Ceramic Coating starting at $695 that is formulated specifically to bond with porous film surfaces. The coating improves water spot resistance and hydrophobic behaviour without altering the underlying film finish, whether it is gloss, satin, or matte.

How long does the application process take? +

Most automotive coating applications take 1 to 3 days, depending on the package selected, the vehicle size, and the level of paint correction required. We will confirm a precise timeline at booking.

How do I maintain a ceramic coated surface? +

Maintenance is straightforward. Use pH-neutral soaps, quality wash tools, and proper drying technique. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, and automatic car washes that use stiff brushes. We provide aftercare guidance with every installation to help maximize coating performance and longevity.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabian is the only person I would trust to wrap my car. He did a phenominal job with the PPF and tints on my Model 3. The attention to detail was unparalleled and he took the time to walk me through his process along with showing me around the shop. Who else would have a spare Model 3 rear window to aid with cutting and pre-shrinking window tints. The result could not be more perfect. Fabian also takes into consideration things such as splitting the lower lip portion of the bumper PPF into a seperate piece so if I god forbid scrape it on a curb, only the lower portion would need to be replaced rather than the entire front bumper PPF.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The films I had installed on my car from Evelyn Protective Film have protected my car from scratches from other cars in the parking lot and stone chips from highway driving. I am very thankful that I brought my car to this shop. The owner is very friendly, and the craftsmanship is excellent. I would recommend his shop to my friends and family and would bring in my car again if I ever get a new one. Thank you for taking care of my car during the time I left it there.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly, Evelyn Protective Film is the only spot I’ll ever take my cars. The owner is great—super professional and the service is excellent every time. I’ve been coming here for years for multiple cars I’ve had over the last few years, and the work is actually meticulous. At this point, I’m not going anywhere else. If you want it done right, this place is it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first introduction to Evelyn Protective Films was in 2020 when I requested full PPF and ceramic coating as well as tinted windows for my new Tesla. Just about the full package. When I picked up my car after the job was complete, I was astounded. The application was perfect and the results were outstanding. Fabian’s attention to detail was evident. Fast forward 5 years and I’m selling the Tesla. No way it looked like it was a 2017 and I made back the original PPF/ceramic/tint cost by way of its adding value to the resale price. The Tesla looked showroom fresh. This experience convinced me to go full PPF/ceramic/tint with Fabian on my new BMW and once again the result was flawless perfection. I have no doubt there will be a return on the investment when the time comes to sell or trade my BMW. I couldn’t be more pleased with Evelyn Protective Films & Coatings. Simply the smartest way to protect your equity and resale value and keep the car looking like it just came off the showroom floor. Fabian is the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I researched in great detail PPF's before deciding on Evelyn Protective Films for my new Tesla, travelling from quite far in the west end to see Fabian.  My experience as a customer was wonderful, he explained the process and the product thoroughly, and the end product was amazing.  His workshop is just immaculate & clean, as well his attention to detail, dedication & work is top notch. I have had no problems at all (its been 7 years actually) and my car still looks new ! I would highly recommend him to anyone, at anytime. (I am a return customer for sure).  Thanks Fabian.
