A coating does not need much, and what it does need is specific: a shampoo with nothing in it, something to bring the beading back when road film buries it, and a way to get the water off before it dries.
A pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss additives or wax in it.
A ceramic detail spray for use after every wash.
A large twisted-loop drying towel.

10 Baltimore shops publish a ceramic coating price, and they run $399 to $3,750. The national median across 698 shops is $950, so Baltimore sits above it. These are advertised rates rather than quotes, and vehicle size and paint condition both move them.
21 businesses in Baltimore advertise ceramic coating, paint correction or paint protection film, and 20 of those apply coatings, which is the list on this page. 6 of the 21 publish pricing, 1 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 Baltimore 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.
