Best Ceramic Coating for Cars
If you’re searching for ceramic coating in Portland, Oregon City, or Beaverton, Equal Autos is the trusted choice for lasting protection and showroom-level shine. Our advanced nano-ceramic coatings form a permanent, flexible glass shield on your vehicle’s paint, delivering up to 9H hardness—six times stronger than a traditional clear coat. This means your car resists scratches, swirl marks, and environmental damage like bird droppings, UV rays, and road salt.

How We Apply Ceramic Coatings in Portland
At Equal Autos in Portland, we believe the preparation is just as important as the coating itself. Many shops rush the process, but we know that for a ceramic coating to last years, every detail matters. That’s why we use a proven, step-by-step approach that ensures flawless results and maximum durability.
The first step is a full paint correction. We carefully inspect your vehicle’s exterior, addressing swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and faded areas before coating begins. This is critical because once ceramic coating bonds to the paint, any imperfections underneath become locked in. Our team restores clarity and smoothness so the coating sits on a perfect surface.
Once prepped, we apply Cerokote Ceramic Coating with precision to every panel. This professional-grade product bonds at the molecular level, creating a glass-like shield that resists scratches, UV damage, chemicals, and Portland’s tough road conditions. The hydrophobic layer instantly repels water, mud, and grime, keeping your car looking freshly detailed for years.
At Equal Autos, we don’t just “apply” ceramic—we engineer a finish that transforms your car into a low-maintenance, high-gloss, fully protected machine.
The Best Ceramic Coating Products For Your Car
When it comes to protecting your vehicle, not all coatings are created equal. At Equal Autos, we exclusively use Cerokote Ceramic Coatings, trusted nationwide for their durability, gloss, and cutting-edge protection. Unlike cheaper coatings that may fade or fail within a few years, Cerokote offers up to 10 years of warranty-backed performance when properly maintained.
Cerokote coatings are designed to deliver:
-
Unmatched Gloss & Depth: Creates a wet, mirror-like shine that outperforms waxes and sealants.

Maintaining Ceramic Coatings
Once you’ve had your car protected with Cerokote Ceramic Coating by Equal Autos, keeping that glossy, showroom look is simple—but proper care is essential to maintain the coating’s effectiveness and warranty. We recommend hand-washing your vehicle regularly using pH-balanced car shampoo and microfiber wash mitts to avoid scratches or swirl marks. For best results, wash your car at least once a month, or more frequently if exposed to heavy road grime, winter salt, or tree sap.
Avoid automatic tunnel car washes, as their abrasive brushes can damage both the ceramic layer and your paint underneath. If you prefer not to hand wash, always choose a touchless car wash. This preserves the hydrophobic properties of the coating, ensuring water, dirt, and grime continue to bead and slide off effortlessly.
At Equal Autos, we also offer exclusive monthly ceramic coating maintenance packages for our Portland, Oregon City, and Beaverton customers. These professional check-ups help refresh the coating, extend its life, and keep your vehicle looking its absolute best. For ceramic coating aftercare or maintenance pricing, contact Equal Autos at (971) 421-4656.
We recommend you to wash the car regularly for proper maintenance. EQUAL AUTOS provides monthly detailing reserved only for our ceramic coating cleints, call (971) 421-4656 for pricing.
Installing the Ceramic Coating
At Equal Autos, we don’t just apply ceramic coating—we engineer a finish that lasts. Every installation begins with a comprehensive paint correction process to eliminate swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and imperfections. This preparation ensures the ceramic coating bonds to a flawless surface, creating maximum protection and depth of shine.
Once the surface is ready, our certified technicians hand-apply Cerokote Ceramic Coating using precision foam applicators. The advanced nano-ceramic formula bonds at the molecular level, forming a permanent layer of glass-like protection over your vehicle’s paint. To guarantee durability, the coating is cured under controlled conditions for up to 6–8 hours, ensuring a fully hydrophobic surface and long-lasting bond.
When finished, your vehicle will display the unmistakable “water beading” effect—proof that the coating is actively protecting against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants. More importantly, you’ll enjoy years of low-maintenance shine, protection, and peace of mind, all backed by Equal Autos’ professional installation and warranty.
A properly applied ceramic coat will show water beads (a phenomenon that occurs on the body paint when water droplets form on top of the painted surface instead of sticking). We make sure the coating is maintained in a controlled environment during the curing time to ensure proper bonding to the car’s paint.
Annual Inspections & Warranty
At Equal Autos, we stand behind every ceramic coating installation with a warranty that gives our Portland customers complete peace of mind. To keep your coating performing at its best, we require annual inspections by our approved technicians, scheduled within 30 days before or after the anniversary of your service date. These inspections ensure the coating’s integrity and allow us to refresh its hydrophobic and protective properties.
Annual inspections include a comprehensive exterior wash and detail, clay bar decontamination, application of a topcoat, and a full inspection of the coated surfaces. This process not only maintains your warranty but also extends the life and appearance of your ceramic coating. The fee for this service is $399—a small investment to guarantee your vehicle’s finish stays flawless year after year.
By following our recommended care and inspection plan, your Cerokote Ceramic Coating will continue to deliver the gloss, protection, and durability that Equal Autos is known for across Portland, Oregon City, and Beaverton.
