Real Questions From Golden Owners

Is Ceramic Coating Right for Your Vehicle?

The right package depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how it's parked, and how much maintenance you want to do yourself.

Paint inspection under lighting before ceramic coating at ST6 Detailers
What does Ceramic Coating actually do?

It adds a protective barrier over properly prepped paint. It improves water beading, gloss, UV support, contaminant resistance, and how easily the vehicle washes.

Is Paint Correction really included, or is that an upsell?

It's included on every package, not an upsell. Ceramic Coating should never be applied over dirty, hazy, or neglected paint — correction and prep come first on every tier we offer.

What actually happens before the coating goes on?

We wash, decontaminate, clay, remove bonded contaminants, evaluate the paint under lighting, perform the included Paint Correction, then panel-prep the surface before the Ceramic Coating is applied.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating

Pick the protection term. We'll handle the prep.

Every package includes wash, decontamination, Paint Correction, panel prep, and Ceramic Coating application before the vehicle leaves.

The four terms aren't just different price points — each uses a different Gtechniq coating system matched to how long you plan to keep the car. All four start with the same real prep work: wash, decontamination, and correction, because coating over unprepped paint locks in swirls instead of removing them. The card below spells out which term fits your ownership plans.

Every package below is a genuine Gtechniq coating system, applied by an accredited installer — not a house-brand substitute.

Common Ceramic Coating Questions

Which term should I pick if I'm not sure?

3-Year is our most-booked package because it balances cost and protection well for daily drivers. If you plan to keep the car 5+ years or want maximum gloss retention, step up to 5-Year or Ultra.

Why does every package include paint correction?

Coating over swirls and oxidation locks those defects in permanently under a hard, glossy layer. Correcting the paint first ensures the coating goes on a clean, defect-free surface.

How long does the whole process take?

Ceramic coating is a multi-day service since it includes full correction, decontamination, and a proper cure time before the vehicle can be driven or washed. We'll give you an exact timeline based on your package and paint condition.

Add-On Protection

Want your wheels protected too? Ask about C5 Wheel Armour.

Gtechniq's dedicated wheel and rim ceramic coating — already included free on our Ultra 9-Year package, and available as a standalone add-on on any other tier.

Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour ceramic coating on vehicle wheel

C5 Wheel Armour

Brake dust resists bonding, wheels stay easier to clean, and the finish holds up to repeated heat cycling — a coating built specifically for rims, not repurposed paint coating. Included free with the Ultra 9-Year package. On the 3-Year or 5-Year packages, it's available as a standalone add-on — tell us your wheel count and finish and we'll quote it separately.

Paint Correction Break

Paint Corrected First. Ceramic Coating Second.

Before Ceramic Coating is applied, the paint is washed, decontaminated, polished, and corrected as needed. Ceramic Coating protects the finish underneath it, so proper Paint Correction and surface prep come first — every time, on every tier we offer.

Why Ceramic Coating Helps

Real protection, not just a shine.

Golden sits at high altitude, where UV exposure runs meaningfully higher than at sea level. Coating helps here more than most places.

Bird Droppings & Bug Acids

Ceramic Coating adds a protective barrier over paint after prep and Paint Correction, so contamination has a harder time biting directly into the finish.

UV & Fading Support

Ceramic Coating helps protect the finish from Colorado sun exposure and daily weather that slowly dulls unprotected paint.

Better Water Beading, Easier Washing

Water releases faster from Ceramic Coating protected paint, which makes rinsing and regular washing easier when the vehicle is maintained correctly.

Paint Protection Film

Already booking a coating? Protect the rest of the vehicle.

Paint Protection Film pairs naturally with a coating appointment for complete paint protection, all done mobile in Golden.

Our Process

Three steps. No shortcuts on prep.

After the Ceramic Coating package is selected, we prepare the surface, apply the Ceramic Coating, and inspect the finish before pickup.

01

Wash, Decontaminate & Evaluate

Every vehicle is washed, clayed, and evaluated under lighting so we know exactly what the paint needs before anything else happens.

02

Paint Correction

Included on every package. The finish is polished and corrected to remove swirls, oxidation, and haze before coating goes on.

03

Ceramic Coating & Inspection

The Ceramic Coating is applied, cured, and inspected for even coverage before the job is complete.

Gtechniq Accredited Installer

Not just trained. Accredited.

20+ Years of Experience. Professionally Trained. Gtechniq Accredited.

Ceramic coating performance depends on far more than what's in the bottle. Inspection, decontamination, correction, application technique, leveling, and cure procedure all determine the result — a premium coating installed incorrectly is still an incorrectly installed coating. The installer matters as much as the product, and Gtechniq's accreditation program also protects territory: ST6 brings that same accredited standard to Golden and the greater Denver Metro area.

Years of Professional Experience

Training matters, but experience matters just as much. More than 20 years in professional detailing gives us the real-world knowledge to evaluate paint, identify defects, and know what a vehicle actually needs before a coating ever goes on.

Trained & Accredited

Professional coatings require proper preparation and installation. Our accreditation demonstrates that ST6 completed the training and standards required to professionally install Gtechniq protection systems — not a certificate bought off a shelf.

Access to Professional Products

Accreditation provides access to professional-grade Gtechniq coating systems and installation knowledge that isn't equivalent to a consumer ceramic product purchased online.

Accountability

You know exactly who's working on your vehicle. ST6 Detailers is an established, family-operated company — we stand behind the quality of our work.

Accreditation & Warranty

Not just a sticker. A real credential and a real guarantee.

Accreditation is earned through Gtechniq's own training program. The warranty is registered directly with Gtechniq, not a promise we made up ourselves.

What Accreditation Actually Requires

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 the only Gtechniq Accredited Installer bringing this standard to Golden and the greater Denver Metro area.

The Warranty Is Real

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.

A Question We Get Constantly

Wax vs Ceramic Coating — what's the real difference?

Both leave the paint looking great on day one. Only one still protects it six months later.

Carnauba Wax

Typical lifespan6–8 weeks
Bond to paintSits on top, no chemical bond
UV protection~70%, degrades within weeks
Scratch resistanceMinimal
Typical costLower, but reapplied often

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating — what ST6 installs

Typical lifespan1 to 9 years, by package
Bond to paintChemical bond to the clear coat
UV protection~95%, sustained over the package term
Scratch resistance9H hardness — resists micro-scratches from washing
Typical costHigher upfront, no repeat reapplication

Where people get confused: both make the paint look great immediately. The difference shows up over time — wax sits on top and breaks down in 6 to 8 weeks, while ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and holds its beading, gloss, and UV protection for years, not weeks. Wax is fine for someone who enjoys reapplying it every couple months. Ceramic coating is for someone who wants that protection to just be there.

Before You Book

Ceramic Coating Questions

Clear answers on how the process works, what's included, and what the coating can and can't do.

Can Ceramic Coating be applied mobile?

Most packages can be applied at your home or office in a clean garage when conditions allow. The Ultra 9-Year package needs a fully enclosed, climate-controlled space — we'll coordinate a suitable space with you, since outdoor wind, dust, direct sun, or cold temperatures aren't good coating conditions.

How long does Ceramic Coating take?

A simple coating application can be same-day. Coating plus deeper Paint Correction can take longer because the finish has to be cleaned, corrected, prepped, applied, and inspected before pickup.

Does Ceramic Coating stop scratches?

No. Ceramic Coating isn't scratch-proof. It helps with gloss, UV exposure, chemical resistance, contaminant release, and easier washing — safe washing habits still matter.

How much does Ceramic Coating cost?

Packages start at $899 for the 3-Year and range up to $1,599 for the Ultra 9-Year bundle. Starting prices are for a standard sedan — larger vehicles, trucks, and SUVs are quoted after inspection.

How long does Ceramic Coating actually last?

It depends on the package: 3 years for our 3-Year package, 5 years for Crystal Serum Light, and up to 9 years for Crystal Serum Ultra. Real-world longevity also depends on how the vehicle is stored and washed.

When can I wash my car after Ceramic Coating?

We recommend waiting a full 7 days before washing so the coating fully cures and reaches maximum hardness. You can drive the vehicle during that period — just avoid washing it unless it's covered in something like bird droppings or road salt.

Do I still need to wash my car after it's Ceramic Coated?

Yes. Ceramic Coating makes washing faster and reduces how much contamination bonds to the paint, but it isn't maintenance-free — regular washing is still part of keeping the coating and the finish underneath it protected.

Is the Ceramic Coating warranty transferable if I sell the vehicle?

No. Gtechniq's guarantee is registered to the original vehicle and owner at the time of application and is non-transferable.

What areas does ST6 serve for Ceramic Coating?

ST6 brings Ceramic Coating service to you throughout Golden and the greater Denver Metro area.

What's Included

Three tiers, matched to your rig.

Not every RV interior needs the same visit — a weekend camper needs a different clean than a motorhome coming out of winter storage. Real pricing is built from three variables: RV size, interior condition, and service level, and every quote from the calculator above starts at a real number and never drops below $225.

Service Level 1

Maintenance Interior

$225–$445
Depends on size & condition

For regularly maintained RVs needing professional cleaning and refreshing — no deep stains, no lingering odor, just the dust and clutter a normal trip leaves behind. We vacuum every carpet, seat, and cargo area, then wipe down the dash, counters, cabinets, and every touch point in the cabin. Best for: weekend campers and rigs detailed within the last season, in well-maintained or light condition.

Everything in Maintenance Interior, plus hot-water extraction on carpets and upholstery, leather and vinyl conditioning, and a steam-clean of the dash, vents, and door panels. Best for: RVs used most of the season, or moderate/average condition cabins that need more than a wipe-down.

Which tier should I book?

If the cabin gets a regular wipe-down between trips, Basic Interior Clean is enough. If it's been a full season since the last deep clean, or the upholstery looks dull, go with Detail & Condition. If there's a musty smell or the RV just came out of storage, Deep Interior Restore is the right starting point.

Can the tier change after inspection?

Yes — the calculator gives a real starting price for a typical RV in that condition. If we find heavier buildup, a bigger odor problem, or a larger-than-average cabin once we're on site, we'll tell you before doing any extra work.

Does every tier include the whole cabin?

Yes — every tier covers the full interior: cab, living area, galley, and bath. Higher tiers add deeper extraction, conditioning, and odor work rather than covering less space.

Why Pricing Varies

Size, condition, and service level all affect labor.

Three real variables build every quote — here's what each one actually changes about the job.

Size Sets the Baseline

An RV interior isn't one room the way a car cabin is — it's a cab area, living area, kitchen, bathroom, and often a bedroom and dinette. A 40 ft diesel pusher with slide-outs has roughly three to four times the surface area of a Class B camper van, meaning three to four times the vacuuming, wiping, and detail work to cover it properly.

Condition Changes the Labor

A well-maintained rig cleaned every trip needs a straightforward wipe-down and vacuum. Moderate or heavy-condition interiors mean dirt has worked into carpet fibers and food debris has dried onto counters — floors, bathrooms, and kitchens need real scrubbing, not a quick pass.

Service Level Sets the Depth

Maintenance Interior is a professional refresh. Complete Interior Detail adds hot-water extraction and conditioning for surfaces with real wear. Deep Interior Detail is restoration-level, for RVs out of long-term storage or long overdue for professional attention.

Materials Need Different Care

Leather and vinyl need conditioning or they crack and fade. Carpet and fabric need hot-water extraction to lift embedded dirt rather than push it deeper. Countertops and cabinetry need a cleaner that won't dull the finish.

The Spots Rushed Details Miss

Tops of slide-out seals, under dinette cushions, behind captain's chairs, cabinet interiors, and the gap between the dash and windshield — all places dust settles but a rushed wipe-down skips.

No Surprises When We're Done

Every touch point, floor, and upholstered surface gets addressed to the service level you booked. If we find a stain needing specialty treatment or a musty smell pointing to trapped moisture, we'll flag it honestly before doing extra work.

Well Maintained / Light

Typical dust, light dirt, minor fingerprints, light floor contamination — an interior that receives regular cleaning between trips.

Moderate / Average

Noticeable dirt and buildup, food debris, more heavily soiled floors, bathroom and kitchen needing extra attention, and upholstery contamination from general use.

Heavy / Neglected

Heavy buildup, substantial dirt, heavily contaminated floors and surfaces, significant kitchen or bathroom cleaning, embedded debris, and an RV that's gone a long time without professional cleaning.

Frequently Asked

RV Interior Questions

Clear answers before you book.

How much does RV interior detailing cost?

Pricing runs $225–$750 and is built from three real variables: RV size, interior condition, and service level (Maintenance Interior, Complete Interior Detail, or Deep Interior Detail). Use the calculator above for a real starting number — it never drops below $225. Heavier buildup, odor treatment, or deep-stain work may adjust the final quote after inspection.

What's the difference between the three service levels?

Maintenance Interior is a professional refresh — vacuum and wipe-down. Complete Interior Detail adds hot-water extraction and leather/vinyl conditioning for cabins that have seen real use. Deep Interior Detail is a restoration-level service for heavily contaminated, neglected, or long-term-stored RVs, with deep-stain treatment and odor assessment included.

Can I book interior and exterior together?

Yes — the Full Detail option on our main RV Detailing page combines both in one visit. Use the calculator there for a combined estimate.

Do you handle RV odor problems?

Yes, musty or trapped-moisture odor is quoted alongside your interior detail once we know what's causing it — send photos or describe the issue when you request a quote.
