Water and dirt slide off, and the finish stays deep. ### Lasts years A semi-permanent bond with the factory paint that lasts years, not months, with a proper wash routine. ### Easier washing Water and dirt slide off, so the vehicle stays clean longer and washes in less time. ### Deeper gloss Depth and clarity a wax cannot give, on black paint and white paint alike. ### Something to show a buyer Every vehicle is photographed before it leaves, so you can show what was done when you sell. ## How a coating is done ### 1. Decontamination Chemical and mechanical removal of industrial fallout, iron particles and embedded grit, so the coating bonds to paint. ### 2. Paint correction Machine polishing to remove swirls and imperfections and give the coating a flat, clear surface. ### 3. Application Applied panel by panel, left to flash, then leveled for an even, glossy layer. ## Ceramic coating questions ### How much is a ceramic coating? Entry starts at $1,650, Signature at $1,800 and Elite at $2,100, each with its correction included: a single-stage polish on Entry, a two-stage correction on Signature and Elite. Deeper work is the Paint Correction Upgrade. The final price depends on the vehicle, and Oka confirms it in a written quote. ### How long does a ceramic coating last? Entry is rated for 5 years, Signature for 6 years and Elite for 7 years or more. The years depend on the product and the care, and Oka confirms them with your quote; a proper wash routine gets you there. ### Can you coat a Tesla? Yes, and many owners do, because the factory paint is thin and easy to swirl. Correction first, then the coating. ### Do I still need to wash the car? Yes, but less often and more easily. A coating is not self-cleaning; it makes cleaning quick. ### Coating or paint protection film? Film stops rock chips; a coating does not. A coating makes everything easier to clean. Many owners do film on the front and a coating everywhere else. ### Do you do it in my driveway? Every coating goes on at the shop in Mountain View, indoors and out of the sun, where Oka can level each panel properly. Still deciding? - Ceramic coating vs wax - Paint protection film vs ceramic coating ## Often done together - Paint Correction: Included in every tier, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it. - Paint Protection Film: A coating does not stop rock chips. Film on the front is what does. - Detailing Packages: Keeping the coating working is a wash routine, not a product. ## Projects, start to finish - Rivian R2, protected up front: Full front paint protection film and a ceramic coating, October 2026. ## Years of protection, one visit Tell Oka about the vehicle and he sends a written price the same business day. ### Photographs on this page - BMW M2 in grey — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - BMW M5 in grey — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - BMW 7 Series in black — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - Porsche Cayenne in black — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - Ford F-150 in black — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - Rivian R2 from the front, lights on, after full front paint protection film and a ceramic coating — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View - Toyota Tundra in grey — Oka's Car Care, Mountain View
