Ideal for daily drivers who want the best balance of Ceramic Coating cost, gloss, easier washing, and protection time. Gtechniq Accredited, family owned and operated — Paint Correction is included on this package before the Ceramic Coating ever touches the panel. No shortcuts on prep, no rushed application.
Verified Google reviews from ST6 customers — the same trust that backs every service, including ceramic coating.
★★★★★They explained why Paint Correction mattered before Ceramic Coating on my black Ford Raptor. No pressure, just showed me what was in the paint under the light.
★★★★★Water beading after the Ceramic Coating was exactly what I wanted. Washing is faster and my BMW M5 does not hold contaminants like it used to.
★★★★★ST6 caught water spots on my Grand Cherokee that I had stopped noticing. They did the Paint Correction first and the Ceramic Coating finish came out deep and clean.
★★★★★Scheduled the Platinum Exterior on my Porsche 911 GT4 before Ceramic Coating. They explained what Paint Correction was needed before starting and did not just guess.
★★★★★The quote made sense, the crew showed up with the right setup, and my F-150 came back cleaner than expected.
★★★★★They did not oversell the service. They explained what the Raptor needed and what could wait.
Every package includes wash, decontamination, Paint Correction, panel prep, and Ceramic Coating application before the vehicle leaves.
3-Year Ceramic Coating is our most-booked package — built for the way most owners actually use a daily driver, not a garage queen schedule. Gtechniq EXO v5 gives you the hydrophobic, self-cleaning benefit of ceramic protection without paying for the multi-year systems reserved for five-plus-year ownership, and every job still starts with the same full decontamination and correction as our longest-lasting packages.
Ideal for daily drivers who want the best balance of Ceramic Coating cost, gloss, easier washing, and protection time.
A durable, hydrophobic ceramic layer built for 3 years of daily-driver protection — water beads and sheets off instead of sitting and spotting.
Embedded contamination is stripped from the paint before any correction begins, so the surface is genuinely clean before polishing starts.
Swirls, scratches, and oxidation are assessed under controlled LED lighting to scope exactly how much correction the paint needs.
Every panel is machine-polished to remove defects found in the evaluation — not spot-corrected, so the whole car looks consistent.
A final IPA wipe removes polishing oils so the coating bonds directly to bare, corrected paint rather than sitting on residue.
It's a multi-day service — full decontamination and correction take real time, and the coating needs to properly flash and cure before the vehicle can be driven or washed.
Yes, it's specifically built for daily-driver use — regular washing, seasonal weather, and normal ownership. If you plan to keep the car 5+ years, 5-Year or Ultra offer longer-lasting systems.
Yes, but washing is easier and faster — the hydrophobic surface sheds dirt and water, so less scrubbing is needed and the paint stays cleaner between washes.
Starting prices shown are for a standard sedan. Larger vehicles are quoted after inspection.
Real work from the Cooper Avenue studio — not stock photography. Every vehicle goes through the same decontamination and correction process before coating ever touches the panel.

Ceramic Coating · Finished ResultAccreditation is earned through Gtechniq's own training program. The warranty is registered directly with Gtechniq, not a promise we made up ourselves.
Gtechniq Accreditation isn't a certificate you can buy off a shelf. It requires a minimum of 2 years running a detailing business, then hands-on training directly with Gtechniq covering coating preparation, correction discipline, and proper installation of Crystal Serum Ultra and EXO v5. Accreditation also comes with protected territory, which is why ST6 is an accredited installer serving Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
Crystal Serum Ultra carries a genuine 9-year guarantee, registered directly with Gtechniq within 30 days of application — not just a service promise from ST6. It covers repair or retreatment at no cost if the finish is damaged by tree sap, bug splatter, bird or bat droppings, or UV exposure. Every package carries a manufacturer-backed guarantee for its term, the same way the 9-Year package does.
Clear answers on how the process works, what's included, and what the coating can and can't do.
The 3-Year EXO v5 package is the best balance for most daily drivers — full ceramic protection at a lower entry cost than the 5-Year Crystal Serum Light, with the same full Paint Correction included on every tier.
