Frequently Asked Questions
SystemX Procuct
Yes, System X® products are formulated to be safe for all surfaces including your paint, and any paint protection film, or vinyl. Ceramic will not damage your clearcoat or paint and will not void any manufacturer warranties. We can apply ceramic coatings to glass, rims, plastic, trim, and interior surfaces.
No, System X® will not Crack, Peel, or Yellow. Our products have undergone SGS testing and real-life testing in some of the world's harshest environments and surpassed every one of them.
Yes, once System X® is applied you will never need to wax again. Cleaning your vehicle’s paint will be as easy as maintaining your glass/windshield. No need for abrasive washes or any waxes/sealants.
Yes, after System X® cures it becomes 6 times harder than paint. The coating is much more resistant to scratching. SystemX is a hardened glass coating, and while glass can still be scratched and chipped, it is much more resistant and thicker than your clearcoat.
Durability
Ceramic is a silica-based product, meaning it is a “glass” coating. Ceramic adds some rock chip resistance, but it can still get rock chips from larger stones and high speeds. The glass windshield on your vehicle will still get rock chips, just much less often than your clearcoat.
No, ceramic will not prevent water spots, but it WILL allow those pesky water spots to be easily removed without damaging the surface. Because ceramic creates a protective layer over the substrate, it does not allow the minerals to corrode or etch the surface that ceramic is protecting, prolonging the life of your metals, paints, gel coats, plastics, vinyl, etc. Ceramic is a silica-based/glass product and the glass on your windshield can still get water spots, but it is much more resistant to water spots than your clearcoat.
Yes, System X® Ceramic Coatings should be thought of as adding another clear coat to the paint's surface. This new clear coat is glossier, chemical resistant, and harder than the original clear coat. System X® is a permanent coating in the same sense that the clear coat on your aircraft is permanent. Eventually, the clear coat will wear away over the years; its overall longevity depends on conditions, cleaning frequency, proper application, and maintenance.
VINYL/WRAP: Ceramic will protect your vinyl from accidental spills, stains, oil/grime, and UV rays. Ceramic Pro is completely flexible and will not crack or peel from your vinyl. As with all surfaces, Ceramic offers a self-cleaning effect allowing your vinyl to be easily cleaned. Say goodbye to countless vinyl cleaning agents.
GLASS: Ceramics can be applied to all glass surfaces to act as a water-repellent.
CHROME: Ceramic does an excellent job protecting your chrome/polished finishes from corrosion, oxidation, and discoloration.
PAINT: applying ceramic to your paint is by far the best way to protect & prevent paint from fading over time.
CARPET/FABRIC: Ceramic can be applied to your upholstery to make it stain and spill-resistant. No more costly accidents inside your vehicle.
Application
The process for applying a ceramic coating is extensive. First, we prep wash the vehicle, then we do a paint decontamination and strip away anything that is bonded to your clear coat with a clay bar. Next, we prep your paint with an alcohol-based solvent to remove any final impurities. Then we go into a machine polish to even out the clear coat to remove any defects or swirl marks. Then we prep the paint again to remove any compound that might be left over. Finally, we apply the coating in small sections and use a special leveling towel to make sure the coating is leveled evenly.
The length of the job depends on how many scratches, swirl marks, and defects your clear coat has. The machine polish is the part that takes the most time in the ceramic coating process. If your paint is in new condition you can expect the job to be done within 4-5 hours. If your paint has heavier defects you can expect 8-12 hours of work.
Yes, at DrGloss we specialize in at-home ceramic coatings, we are one of very few detailers who can do this. With over 10 years of mobile experience, we have all the proper equipment to do a ceramic coating anytime, anywhere.
No, you don't need a paint correction before applying the coating, however, this is not recommended. The coating will still bond and protect your clear coat but the longevity of the coating could be affected due to uneven surface tension. Not to mention our ceramic coatings will lock in any swirl marks or defects for years to come so you want your paint looking its best before the coating is applied.
Maintenance
That’s the great thing about ceramic products. Water and a mild soap or dish soap will do the trick. Goodbye, harsh chemicals, clay bars, etc. Even glass cleaner or a No Rinse lubricant/wash will work to quickly and easily maintain your coating.
No, ceramic products are the permanent replacement to wax and sealants. You can throw those products in the trash!
Yes. To maintain your warranty, you need to attend an annual inspection + service. This is to ensure your coating performs properly for the entire length of the 10 year warranty. If an annual inspection is missed, the warranty could be voided.
You should wait 4-7 days before the 1st wash to allow the solvents to outgas and fully cure. If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, tree sap, etc. during these two weeks immediately remove it following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is softer during the first 4-7 days so work on the paint very gently.
Ceramic Coating Service in Sacramento, California
Give your car, truck, RV, or boat the ultimate protection! At DrGloss, we specialize in providing premium ceramic coatings, and precision showroom paint correction. But what exactly is a ceramic coating? It's a nano-ceramic protective layer that hardens and forms a permanent bond to your vehicle’s surface. This coating acts as a barrier, protecting your paint from environmental factors like sun damage, tree sap, bird droppings, bug stains, and anything else that comes in contact with your paint.
Think of it as a sacrificial shield that protects your car’s paint and clear coat. If you’re in Sacramento, where environmental elements like sun exposure and pollutants can take a toll on your vehicle, this protective layer will help keep those harmful effects at bay. Its hydrophobic properties also make it easier to maintain the vehicle due to its oleophobic properties meaning nothing can bond to it. Your clear coat is simply clear paint & about half the thickness of a post-it note (0.1 mils), when the ceramic coating is fully cured you now have 0.9 mils of protection, and the ceramic is 6 times harder than the clear coat leaving you with a hardened shell protecting your paint. Btw did you know that replacing your paint is more expensive than the engine? That's why paint protection is a must, and ceramic coatings are the way to protect that paint.
Permanent 10-Year Ceramic Protection
While you may spend most of your time inside the vehicle, the exterior deserves the same level of care. At DrGloss, we offer ceramic coatings that can last up to a lifetime with proper maintenance. We use top-tier, professional-grade 9H ceramic coatings by SystemX® Ceramics. This advanced nano-technology not only enhances the depth and shine of your vehicle’s paint but also provides superior water repellency. DrGloss carefully applies the coating to your car’s paint, glass, plastic trim, windows, and rims, ensuring your vehicle has full protection, we can also coat interior leather and fabrics. We are committed to delivering outstanding results and back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
How We Apply Ceramic Coatings in Sacramento
Applying ceramic coating can be a complex process that requires precision and the right tools. That’s why DrGloss takes care of it for you! We understand that proper preparation is essential for a long-lasting ceramic coat, so we take the time to thoroughly prepare your vehicle before application.
The first step is to ensure the car’s paint is in perfect condition. We focus on correcting any exterior imperfections before applying the ceramic coating. If necessary, we perform paint correction and address minor scratches, marks, and faded paint to achieve a flawless surface. The vehicle’s surface must be immaculate before the base coat is applied, as any imperfections will be challenging to correct after the coating has been applied.
The Best Ceramic Coating Product for Your Car
We use the finest professional-grade 9H+ ceramic coatings from SystemX® Ceramics. This professional-grade nano ceramic coating significantly enhances your paint’s depth of color and provides unparalleled water and dirt repellency with rugged durability that lasts for years. It’s the best ceramic coating on the market, outperforming competitors like Ceramic Pro, which only lasts 5 years. Our SystemX ceramic coating can be applied to your vehicle’s paint, plastic trim, glass windows, wheel rims, and even the interior fabric and carpet for added stain resistance. The ceramic coating we use lasts up to 10 years and comes with a full manufacturer warranty. Pricing varies depending on your vehicle’s paint condition, color, and size, ranging from $500 to $3,500 based on the project’s scope.

Maintaining Ceramic Coatings
To maintain the ceramic coating on your vehicle, we recommend regular hand washes. Ceramic coatings require at least 1 wash every 3 months to ensure maximum protection, and effectiveness, to revive the hydrophobic properties. We advise against using tunnel car washes, as they can introduce unwanted abrasive contaminants, thus requiring a decontamination of the coating. Instead, opt for touchless car washes, or hand washing. DrGloss offers monthly, and quarterly maintenance services for our ceramic coating clients—call us at (916) 837-3197 for pricing.
Installing the Ceramic Coating
Once the paint correction process is complete, our detailing technicians hand-apply the SystemX® ceramic coating using a soft foam applicator. We finish this with a nano-ceramic sealant made of silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide, giving your car an additional protective layer. The initial cure time is 3 hours, but the full cure can be 4 to 7 days, ensuring a hydrophobic surface and a permanent bond to your car’s paint.
A well-applied ceramic coating will show water beading—where water droplets form on top of the paint instead of sticking. We ensure the coating is cured in a controlled environment to achieve proper bonding.
Annual Inspections & Warranty
To maintain the warranty, annual inspections must be conducted by an approved applicator within 30 days before or after the anniversary of the last service. Failure to conduct an inspection within this timeframe will void the warranty. The first inspection is free for the first year, then the following years require $200 per annual inspection and decontamination of the coating.
