High-quality PPF is virtually invisible, gloss-enhancing, and self-healing under heat. Matte and satin finish options are also available.

Ceramic Coating Your Tesla in Richmond

Protection
By ceramic coating a vehicle, a layer of coating protection is added to the surface. Regardless if its XPEL Fusion’s 9H hardness coating or Revivify’s self healing nano coating, this layer of protection will safeguard your investment against light scratches, swirls, microscratches, and bird droppings from damaging your paint.
Good Investment
The ceramic coating provides protection to the exterior and interior of the vehicle from deteriorating. XPEL Fusion/Revivify Self Heal nano coating services are both recognized by CARPROOF records. The resale market value of Ceramic Pro or Revivify Self Heal coated vehicle will be substantially higher than a care without. It may be a deal breaker for the new buyer!
Looking New Everyday
Once the coating is applied, your vehicle remains in high gloss with a mirror-like finish that keeps your car looking like day 1 when you picked up from the dealership. With proper maintenance, your vehicle will remain looking like new with its original shine for years to come.
Low Maintenance
Ceramic coating does not allow dirt, brake dust, tar, or other contaminants to stick to your car’s paint, wheel, glass, or areas that are protected with ceramic coating. This means it is a lot easier and less efforts are needed to wash your vehicle! When your vehicle is coated with XPEL Fusion or Revivify Self Heal nano coatings, waxing is no longer necessary as the pores of your paint is now permanently filled. #WaxIsDead
