Why us
Why Apex Mobile Detailing & Ceramic Coatings for igl ceramic coating services
We spray IGL ceramic coating directly onto your car's paint after a full detail. It's a liquid glass layer that bonds to the surface and hardens into a protective shell. The coating repels water, dirt, and UV rays so your paint stays glossy and resists swirl marks and minor scratches. Most customers in Riverview see the difference immediately and keep their cars looking newer longer.
Florida heat and salt air are tough on paint. IGL coating is built for that. We prep your paint thoroughly, remove any contaminants, and apply the coating in controlled conditions at our Riverview location. The process takes a few hours depending on your vehicle size. After application, the coating needs 24 to 48 hours to fully cure before you drive normally.
You'll notice the water beading off during the first rain. Washing becomes easier because dirt doesn't bond to the coating the way it does to bare paint. You'll spend less time detailing between visits. The coating typically lasts two to five years depending on how you maintain it, which makes it a real investment in keeping your car looking fresh.
Good to know
Igl Ceramic Coating Services questions, answered
How long does the ceramic coating last?
IGL ceramic coating typically lasts two to five years with normal care. That depends on how often you wash your car, whether you park in the sun, and how harsh the weather gets. We'll give you specific maintenance tips when we finish.
Can I wash my car right after the coating is applied?
No. The coating needs 24 to 48 hours to fully cure before you wash it or drive in heavy rain. We'll give you a care sheet with the exact timeline for your vehicle.
Does ceramic coating replace regular waxing?
Yes. The ceramic coating is much more durable than wax and does the same job of protecting your paint. You won't need to wax your car while the coating is active, though you can use a ceramic-safe maintenance spray between washes if you want extra shine.
