What coating do we offer?
At Signature Blue Auto Care, we offer our clients a variety of protective coating options, each designed to provide durable protection and a brilliant shine. We specialize in coating applications for cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles or individual parts, such as wheels, headlights, and engine components.
Our Protective Car Coatings page provides more information on paint coatings and the various options we offer. Below you’ll find a list of service options we offer, utilizing long-term protective coatings, with descriptions and expected prices.
Paint Protection Coatings: Our main objective is to protect the paint, which is why our paint protection coatings were initially created. To ensure a nice finish and proper bonding, we require the Paint Enhancement Detail before coating application to fully decontaminate the paint and improve surface defects. Most used vehicles will require two or more stages of paint correction, depending on overall condition and owner’s expectations. Polishing not only makes the paint more aesthetically pleasing but also extends the overall durability of the installed coating.
- Prices start at $750 for cars and $900 for SUVs (C-Quartz, GTechniq Exo V2, 22ple VX3)
- Prices start at $875 for cars and $1025 for SUVs (22ple VX Pro2, Gtechniq C1 Crystal Laquer)
- Prices start at $975 for cars and $1125 for SUVs (22PLE ZX Mistico Elemento, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light)
Wheel Protection Coatings: Protecting wheels is just as important as protecting paint, especially for expensive wheels on sports cars and exotics. We can protect only the wheel faces after washing or perform a full wheel off detail and coating, which also includes cleaning and coating painted brake calipers.
- Prices start at $100 for wheel faces and $250 for full wheel detailing and coating
Custom Applications: While we typically apply protective coatings to paint or wheels, we’re also happy to tailor protection packages to meet your specific needs. Some of our typical custom applications include glass, interior leather and upholstery, exhausts and muffler tips, brake calipers, plastic trim, headlights, engine components, carbon fiber parts, and motorcycles.

What are glass & crystal coatings?
Glass and crystal coatings are advanced protection solutions that can safeguard the paint on vehicles and aircraft from the harsh environment. These coatings use nanotechnology, which is the engineering, science, and technology conducted at the molecular and atomic level. The characteristics of nanotechnology, such as hardness, lightness, smoothness, and heat resistance, can be manipulated to enhance the properties of coatings.
To choose the best protection for your vehicle, it is important to understand the differences between waxes, synthetic sealants, and coatings. While wax provides a natural and beautiful shine, its UV protective properties are often sub-par unless it is genuine 100% Carnauba wax, which is expensive and only lasts for a few months. Synthetic sealants are man-made and polymer-based, designed for longevity and protection against UV rays and elements. They can last anywhere from 2 to 12 months, depending on the choice. Coatings offer the highest level of protection and shine compared to waxes and sealants. They can last up to the life of the car, with an entry-level coating lasting six months. Coatings are scratch-resistant and make it easier to remove bugs, tar, sap, and bird droppings, which can minimize the damaging effects of these elements by 99%.
Glass/crystal coatings are the ultimate form of protection against UV rays and the harsh elements in the environment. They create an additional layer of clear-coat, which is harder, stronger, and more durable. The surfaces of a vehicle coated with glass/crystal coatings stay cleaner, longer, and maintain the same deep, wet looking shine as the day they were applied. The longevity of coatings depends on factors such as the type of coating and how well the vehicle is maintained after application. It is recommended to visit a detailing facility on a quarterly or bi-annual basis to maintain the coating and apply an extra layer of protection to keep the paint in the best possible condition.
Coatings work due to nanotechnology, which gives them hydrophobic properties, meaning that water literally falls off the surface when it makes contact. The anchor pattern, which is the profile of the surface, determines the amount of hydrophobia a surface can obtain. Coatings have very short peaks and valleys, which adhere to and form a protective layer over the anchor patterns of the paint, leaving the top of the surface with a durable layer. Proper maintenance is key to maximizing the longevity of your protection, regardless of whether your car is coated, waxed, or sealed.

Serum Light is a premium paint protection solution that creates a long-lasting, high-gloss, and smooth surface. Its inorganic ceramic layer chemically bonds with the surface, providing superior durability and a crystal clear finish with a hardness level of 9H. With Serum Light, your vehicle’s gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for an extended period compared to traditional protection products, making it effortless to clean your car.
Cquartz is a premium hard glass coating that provides exceptional protection for your vehicle’s paintwork. Its ceramic nano-particles form an ultra-durable, transparent layer that shields against minor scratches, bird droppings, tar, acid rain, corrosive traffic film, and harmful UV rays for more than 2 years.
In addition to its protective qualities, Cquartz also enhances the appearance of your vehicle with a deep, rich gloss and self-cleaning properties, making future washing faster and easier. With Cquartz, you can expect a 50% reduction in light wash marring.
The average thickness of a Cquartz layer is between 1 µm and 2 µm, and it forms a strong chemical bond that cross-links during the curing process. This results in excellent durability, high levels of gloss and reflectivity.
Cquartz’s active ingredients create a uniformed and precise level layer, providing strong water and oil repellency, which prevents stains from forming on your vehicle’s surface. Moreover, it can withstand extremely high temperatures, making it perfect for coating engine components and other materials.
