A pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss additives or wax in it.
A ceramic detail spray for use after every wash.

5 Santa Clara shops publish a ceramic coating price, and they run $595 to $1,800. The national median across 698 shops is $950, so Santa Clara sits above it. These are advertised rates rather than quotes, and vehicle size and paint condition both move them.
23 businesses in Santa Clara advertise ceramic coating, paint correction or paint protection film, and 15 of those apply coatings, which is the list on this page. 4 of the 23 publish pricing, 2 of the coating shops hold a manufacturer credential we can check, and 5 operate as mobile services rather than from a fixed shop.
Almost always, and it is the most expensive thing to get wrong. A coating is optically clear and it seals whatever is underneath, so applying one over swirled paint preserves the swirls for the life of the coating. Paint correction runs $345 to $700 nationally. Ask any Santa Clara shop whether correction is included in the coating price and how many stages.
No. Placement is not for sale on this site. The order below is set by what each shop publishes and what we can verify, and a shop that buys marketing from our parent company gets labeled as such rather than promoted.
Published rates are a range. What you pay comes down to size, paint condition and how much correction the finish needs first. Tell us the car and we will put it in front of shops that publish their pricing.
