Your Vehicle Deserves the Best: A Revolutionary Approach to Paint Protection
Navigating the bustling traffic of the 21st century especially in Hollister, California can wreak havoc on your car’s paintwork. Environmental factors such as bird droppings, tree sap, UV rays, acid rain, and the grit of everyday use can gradually tarnish its original luster. Modern car paints, while eco-friendly, tend to be thinner, chip more easily, and are more susceptible to scratching. This is where our groundbreaking ceramic coating solution steps in to safeguard your car’s paintwork from these harsh environmental elements, preserving both the aesthetics and value of your vehicle.
Introducing 3M Ceramic Coating: Enhanced Longevity and Gloss
3M Ceramic Coating is not just another product on the shelf. It distinguishes itself from traditional wax, sealants, and ceramic coatings with its superior features. Forming a strong glass barrier that bonds permanently to the paint surface, our coating is thicker, and more long lasting. As it permanently adheres to your paint, it endows your car with an exceptional gloss, thereby enhancing its overall look.
Drive with the Shine of a New Car Every Day
Our process corrects swirls and micro scratches so your paint looks its best before coating. Subsequently, we apply a multilayer ceramic coating that seals and preserves your car’s “new car look” for many years to come. Be ready to be greeted by a car that looks fresh off the showroom floor every single day.
Simplify Your Car Care Routine
Our ceramic coating not only enhances your car’s aesthetic appeal but also makes it easier to maintain. The anti-stick hydrophobic layer provided by our coating prevents dirt, brake dust, and tar from adhering to your car’s paint, wheels, or glass. This allows you to clean your car twice as fast and helps it stay cleaner for a longer duration.
Unrivaled Paint Protection
Unlike wax, our 3M Ceramic Coating forms a permanent bond with the clear coat, significantly increasing its hardness. This hardened layer protects against swirls, minor scuffs, thermal damage, UV rays, oxidation, corrosion, and chemical threats. It's real protection that holds up.
Our Exclusive Coating Package: Exceptional Value for Unmatched Service
Our ceramic coating package is designed to keep your car looking brand new for years to come. This package includes a thorough hand wash, decontamination, and clay bar treatment, a gloss enhancement through Stage 1 Paint Correction, and up to 5 years of ceramic coating protection. Plus, you get free ceramic coating on all windows and exterior plastic trims. This is an unrivaled offer that provides an extraordinary level of value.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Hollister?
Professional ceramic coating costs $500-$2,000 depending on your vehicle size and package. Our Essential Package starts at $500, Premium at $800, and Ultimate (5+ year protection) ranges from $1,200-$2,000.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Entry-level coatings last 1-2 years. Our Premium packages last 3-5 years, and Ultimate packages provide 5+ years of protection with proper maintenance. Regular washing and avoiding harsh chemicals extends coating life.
How far is Blackout from Hollister?
We're about 20 minutes from downtown Hollister via Highway 25 to Highway 101. Our Gilroy location at 610 Holloway Rd (behind Target) is the closest professional ceramic coating shop to San Benito County.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
It depends on your paint condition. New vehicles may need only decontamination. Older vehicles with swirls, scratches, or oxidation benefit from paint correction first—coating locks in defects if applied over damaged paint.
Can I wash my car after ceramic coating?
Wait 48-72 hours for full curing. After that, hand washing is recommended. Touchless automatic washes are acceptable, but avoid brush washes. Use pH-neutral car soap and avoid waxing—the coating provides the protection.
What's the difference between ceramic coating and wax?
Wax lasts weeks to months and provides minimal protection. Ceramic coating bonds to paint, lasting years while providing UV protection, chemical resistance, and hydrophobic properties. It's a permanent protective layer versus a temporary surface treatment.
Is ceramic coating worth it for a daily driver?
Yes. Daily drivers benefit from easier cleaning, UV protection, and paint preservation. The coating saves time on maintenance and protects your investment. Most Hollister customers drive Silicon Valley commuter routes where the protection matters.
Should I get ceramic coating or PPF?
Different purposes. Ceramic coating protects against UV, chemicals, and makes cleaning easier. PPF (paint protection film) physically blocks rock chips and scratches. Many customers combine both—PPF on high-impact areas, ceramic coating everywhere.
