PDS is amazing! … I had them detail and ceramic coat my 2021 Tesla and my spouse's 2021 Volvo. Both came out looking better than brand new. Couldn't be happier with their service.

    I purchased a used 2024 Toyota RAV4 and did not notice all the swirls in the clear coat. … Firstly, the detailer Frank is a former aircraft painting tech, and his work was fantastic. My RAV4 now has a perfect, mirror-like finish, and is protected with ceramic coating. … Luckily, PDS offers a loaner for free. … Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

    I recently had a ceramic car coating done on my 2024 Palisade at Primary Detailing Solutions, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, Eli provided outstanding communication—keeping me informed every step of the way and making the entire process smooth and stress-free. … My 2024 Palisade looks absolutely incredible—the shine is unreal, and the attention to detail truly shows in every inch of the finish. … I highly recommend Primary Detailing Solutions!

    They did a great job ceramic coating two of my cars. … Both of them are black cars and as you can imaging the 2022 Navigator needed some prep work. They got it looking brand new! … They even gave me a free loaner while they worked on the cars. … Answered all questions and stand behind their work. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for ceramic coating no matter the age or condition of the vehicle.

    The process was simple, with easy drop off and pickup. … The depth it brought to my paint is unreal, I haven't seen this gloss since the day I purchased it. … Friendly staff answered all my questions. Fantastic warranty and I already booked another appointment for my other car to get the ceramic coating. I would recommend Primary Detailing Solutions to everyone.

    I got my BRZ ceramic coated here, they did a great job detailing inside and out before putting on the coating. There was a very small scuff in the coating, and when I called them about it they told me to bring it in and they fixed it without issue.

    Just left Primary Detailing Solutions with my Lexus SUV that is now clean and mean. Upon seeing the "after" and the outstanding quality of work they did (Frank specifically), I can confidently say that they now have a customer for life. … I knew there was a reason that they have 100% 5-star reviews on here and now I know why.

Paint protection ceramic coating · Baltimore

Why ceramic coating beats wax

Wax sits on top of the paint and wears off in weeks or months. A ceramic coating bonds to the paint and lasts for years, so your car keeps its shine and its value.

Deep, lasting gloss

Your paint looks richer and stays that way, without a new coat of wax every few months.

Protection from sun, salt and bird droppings

The coating adds a hard, slick layer that helps shield paint from UV fading, winter road salt, bird droppings and tree sap.

Easier washing

Water beads up and rolls off, taking dirt with it. Most washes take less time and less scrubbing.

Helps protect resale value

Well-kept original paint is one of the first things a buyer or dealer notices when you sell or trade in.

Questions

Common questions about ceramic coating

How long does it take?

Plan on about 8 hours. We'll confirm the time for your car when we give you your quote. Ask about a free loaner so you can go about your day while we work.

Will I still need to wax my car?

No. The coating takes the place of wax. You'll just wash the car as usual, and it will stay glossy without waxing.

How do I take care of it?

We'll give you simple care instructions at pickup, including when it's safe to wash for the first time. After that, a regular pH-neutral hand wash keeps it looking its best, and no waxing is needed.

Dry it with a clean, soft towel. Touchless car washes are fine; we suggest avoiding car washes with spinning brushes.

Is it safe in Maryland winters with road salt?

Yes. Winter is one of the best reasons to coat your car. The coating helps keep salt and road grime from sticking to the paint, so it rinses off more easily. We still recommend washing the car after snow and salt.

Can you pick up my car?

Every ceramic coating is done at our shop at 11438 Cronridge Dr, Suite V, in Owings Mills. If you're nearby, we can pick up your car and bring it back. Just ask when you get your quote.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Both the 2-year and 5-year packages come with a warranty, and we'll walk you through the terms with your quote.

Does my paint need to be fixed first?

A coating locks in whatever is under it, so we correct and prepare the paint before it goes on. Paint correction is included in both the 2-year and 5-year packages.

What coating do you use?

Our installers are certified. We'll tell you which coating we recommend for your car, and why, when we prepare your quote.
