Ceramic coatings aren’t just for cars. Scroll down to see info about ceramic coating your motorcycle, ATV, boat, RV, and even aircraft.
No more waxing! Use your time for something more enjoyable.
Ceramic Coatings provide a durable, long lasting, and semi-permanent protective barrier over your painted surfaces, wheels, plastics, and even glass. Think of it as a semi-permanent “super wax” that lasts multiple years.
Ceramic coatings can be applied to your car, truck, motorcycle, recreation vehicle (RV), all terrain vehicle (ATV), boat, and even airplanes / aircraft. They protect your vehicle’s paint finish against: oxidation, loss of gloss, UV damage, color fading, bug impacts, acid rain, and paint chalking. Because the coatings are essentially a ‘non-stick’ surface, dirt, dust, pollen, and other things would rather wash off than stick to your surface.
Paint Defender uses professional grade products. These are not available to the general public and require a complete process to insure the best possible results.
The professional process requires: hand washing the vehicle; removing waxes, oils, and other road grime; decontaminating iron and fallout, removing other particulates from the paint using a clay bar treatment; a complete single stage machine polish using an ultra fine gloss enhancing polish, and finally applying the professional grade coating. You should expect this to take two full days.
If your paint requires gloss enhancement or paint correction to remove deeper swirl marks or other imperfections, the cost will be higher and the process will take longer.
Paint Defender is XPEL certified to install their professional grade only coatings.
One of the most unique aspects of XPEL Fusion Plus is the warrant: It is automatically transferable to the next vehicle owner (assuming it’s still within the warranty period following the original purchase) and actually covers your paint finish against: oxidation, loss of gloss, UV damage and color fading.
For pricing below, consider the following definitions:
Costs vary widely based on the size of the vehicle, the amount of surface preparation required (or desired), and the type of coating being applied. Costs start as low as $600 depending on the size of your vehicle and the amount of surface preparation – from new cars to wet sanding entire SUVs.
If your vehicle is new and does not require any paint enhancement or correction, we can apply the coating after our multi-step wash and preparation process.
We offer the following products to protect your paint finish:
XPEL Fusion Plus provides exceptional resistance to light scratches, stains, and fading. It improves surface clarity to increase color depth - leaving paint or PPF with a smooth, slick finish.
XPEL Fusion Plus Premium features unparalleled durability and longer-lasting protection against scratches and environmental contaminants – for those who want the ultimate in ceramic coating technology.
Gtechniq's Crystal Serum Ultra is arguably the best coating on the market today. It is harder, slicker, shinier, more durable, and longer lasting than other coatings. When you want the best, go with CSU. (hint: make it a Black Package by adding Gteqniq EXO super hydrophobic topping)
The pricing chart below is based on vehicles with new or nearly perfect paintwork. If your paintwork is more than a year old, you should anticipate some level of polish, enhancement, or correction. This work must be done prior to applying the coating and could range from $400 to $1800 in additional cost depending on the condition of the paintwork and size of the vehicle.

EXCELLENT Based on 231 reviews Posted on Google Franklin ManningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If NASA ever needs someone to protect a space shuttle from cosmic debris, they should probably give Ken at Paint Defender a call. The man knows ceramic coatings, window tint, and paint protection like a rocket scientist knows orbital mechanics. I'm pretty sure he has a PhD in "Keeping Vehicles Looking Better Than New." They ceramic coated my truck, and the finish came out absolutely incredible. Like any perfectionist, I spotted a couple of things the next day and stopped back by. Before I could even finish explaining my concerns, the team had my truck back in the shop and took care of everything immediately—no excuses, no runaround, just outstanding customer service. That right there tells you everything you need to know about Paint Defender. Anyone can do great work, but standing behind it without hesitation is what separates the best from everyone else. Ken has built an amazing team that genuinely cares about customer satisfaction, and it shows in every interaction. Their attention to detail is second to none, and they treat your vehicle like it's their own. If you're on the fence about getting a ceramic coating, stop overthinking it. Your truck deserves Paint Defender… and honestly, your wash mitt will probably file for unemployment afterward. Paint Defender is truly in a league of their own.Posted on Google jeryl savageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ken, the owner, assisted me personally and provided absolutely phenomenal service from start to finish. The team, which is phenomenal, performed a front-end wrap, applied a ceramic coating, and added glass protection to my car. The results are nothing short of fantastic—my vehicle looks absolutely flawless! What really stood out to me was how incredibly detail-oriented Ken and his team were. You can tell they take real pride in their craft and treat every vehicle as if it were their own. Beyond the impeccable work, the entire crew was super friendly and communicative. They completed the job exactly on time, and it was a genuinely great value for the top-tier quality of the work. If you are looking to protect your vehicle and want it handled by a trustworthy, meticulous team, Paint Defender is the place to go. Thank you, Ken!Posted on Google Rob MontgomeryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Paint Defenders of Alabama for anyone looking for exceptional service and high-quality craftsmanship. After contacting over five local shops, I chose Paint Defenders, and I am very glad I did. What set them apart from the start was their outstanding website, which provided clear, transparent information on product options and pricing. When I brought my truck in, the owner, Ken, was fantastic. He took the time to explain the entire process from start to finish and helped me select the right XPEL tint for my specific needs. The XPEL tint product is highly rated and comes with a limited lifetime warranty for added peace of mind. They also offer a 15% discount for military and first responders, which is a big plus. I had my driver and front passenger side windows tinted with their XR Heat Blocking film to help manage the heat during the summer months; I was so pleased with the results that I brought my wife’s car in to be tinted the following week. If you are looking for a team of true professionals who genuinely care about the quality of their work, look no further than Paint Defenders of Alabama.
