Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s factory paint, creating a long-lasting layer of protection and gloss. Unlike traditional wax or sealants, ceramic coatings don’t just sit on the surface — they bond with the paint to shield it from the elements.
In St. Louis, where cars face harsh winters, humid summers, and unpredictable road conditions, ceramic coating helps preserve your vehicle’s shine and value. It reduces the need for frequent washes and makes maintenance easier, even for daily drivers.
This is not a detail — it’s an investment in your car’s longevity and appearance.

There’s a lot of confusion out there about what ceramic coating can and can’t do. At Express Window Tinting & Paint Protection, we believe in giving you real facts — not false promises. Let’s clear up a few of the biggest misconceptions:
Ceramic coating makes cleaning easier, but it doesn’t eliminate the need for maintenance. Dirt, pollen, and water spots can still build up over time. Regular washing helps preserve the coating’s performance and appearance.
Not true. Older vehicles can benefit just as much — sometimes even more. With proper paint correction, ceramic coating enhances gloss and brings tired paint back to life while protecting it from future damage.
There are big differences in durability, performance, and application quality. At Express Window Tinting & Paint Protection, we use top-grade professional ceramic materials, installed by trained and certified experts for long-term results.
Ceramic coatings are tough — but not permanent. If needed, they can be professionally removed and reapplied. This gives you flexibility if your coating wears unevenly or you want to upgrade to a higher-level package down the road.
If you’re serious about keeping your vehicle looking new, ceramic coating offers more than just shine. It creates a durable, invisible layer that defends your paint against UV rays, harsh weather, and chemical damage. It also repels water, making washing easier and less frequent.
At Express Window Tinting & Paint Protection, we don’t rush the process. Every coating is applied by certified installers using the best materials in the industry. We prep the surface properly, correct the paint, and apply a long-lasting ceramic barrier that locks in gloss and protection.
This is more than an aesthetic upgrade — it’s a smart way to preserve your investment. Backed by over 187 five-star reviews, we’re trusted by St. Louis drivers who want real results and real protection.

Ceramic coating isn’t just for paint — it’s a powerful, multi-surface solution that protects your entire vehicle from the inside out. At Express Window Tinting & Paint Protection in St. Louis, we apply premium-grade ceramic coatings that bond to a wide range of surfaces, helping your car stay cleaner, glossier, and protected for years.
Paint & PPF (Paint Protection Film)-The most common application is on your vehicle’s paint or PPF. Ceramic coating creates a slick, high-gloss layer that defends against UV rays, oxidation, water spots, and road grime. Whether you’ve wrapped your car with paint protection film or want to enhance factory paint, ceramic coating makes cleaning faster and keeps the finish looking sharp.
Wheels & Brake Calipers-Your wheels face heat, brake dust, and road contaminants daily. Coating the wheel faces — or even going wheels-off for full inner barrel and caliper coating — helps reduce buildup and makes cleaning much easier. It also adds a layer of protection against corrosion and chemical damage.
Glass Surfaces-We apply ceramic coating to windshields and side windows to improve visibility and keep glass surfaces cleaner longer. The hydrophobic layer repels rain, snow, bugs, and grime, while also helping reduce wiper wear and fog buildup.
Interior Surfaces-Ceramic coating isn’t just for exteriors. We offer interior protection for fabric, leather, vinyl, and carpet. It defends against spills, stains, and UV damage — preserving that clean, factory-fresh look on seats, floors, and trim.
Plastic & Exterior Trim-Plastic and trim pieces often fade from UV exposure or dry out over time. Ceramic coating helps lock in color, repel dirt, and stop premature aging. It keeps your bumpers, moldings, and grilles looking newer for longer.
