Exterior Ceramic
Coating
In Lake Forest, IL
Years of hydrophobic gloss, UV protection, and chemical resistance — professionally installed by Gyeon-certified detailers in a climate-controlled studio bay.
Protection.
Gloss. Durability.
A ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent bond with your factory clear coat — sealing the paint against UV, chemicals, bug etching, and everyday contaminants while amplifying depth and gloss.
What Is Exterior
Ceramic Coating?
A liquid nano-ceramic polymer applied by hand and cured onto the paint surface. Once bonded, it creates a hydrophobic, sacrificial layer that shields your factory finish from the elements — without altering the appearance underneath.
Full Exterior Surface Protection
Paint
Sealed clear coat with lasting gloss and unmatched hydrophobic behavior.
Glass
Windshield-safe coating that repels water and cuts night-time glare.
Trim & Plastic
Restores and protects black trim from UV fade and oxidation.
Wheels & Calipers

Built For Long-Term Performance
5+ Years Service Life
Professional-grade coatings engineered to outlast years of daily driving.
Faster Washing & Maintenance

Protection From Contaminants
Bug guts, tree sap, bird droppings and iron fallout stay on top of the coating.
UV & Oxidation Resistance
Blocks sun damage that dulls factory clear coats within a few seasons.
Without Protection Vs

- Water spots and mineral deposits build up
With Ceramic Coating
