Your paint loses a little value every week it sits unprotected. Spring pollen, summer UV and heat, pine sap, and the bird droppings that come with parking anywhere green all eat into clear coat. Ceramic coating is the layer that stops it, and Autocraft installs it at your home or office, anywhere across North Atlanta.
A liquid polymer that bonds chemically to your clear coat and cures into a hard, glass-like layer. It is not a wax. Wax sits on top of the paint and washes away in weeks. A coating becomes part of the surface and stays for years.
Stops the ultraviolet rays that fade and oxidize paint, which is what turns red chalky and black grey after a few Georgia summers.
Bird droppings, bug guts and tree sap are acidic. A coating buys you time to wash them off before they etch a permanent mark.
The surface becomes slick enough that contamination struggles to bond. The car stays cleaner longer and takes far less work to wash.
Pollen season here is not a nuisance, it is an abrasive. Yellow pine pollen settles in thick layers, and every time someone wipes it off dry it drags across the clear coat like fine sandpaper. That is where a large share of swirl marks on Georgia cars come from.
Then the summer arrives. Long stretches of direct sun and high heat accelerate oxidation. Afternoon storms leave mineral-heavy water spots that bake on within minutes. Park under the pines that make this area beautiful and you add sap to the list.
A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it. Seal swirl marks, water spots and oxidation under a coating and they are there for years. That is why every Autocraft coating begins with preparation, not with the bottle.
We decontaminate the paint with an iron remover and a clay bar, then machine polish to cut swirls and restore gloss. Only when the surface is genuinely correct does the coating go on. If your paint needs more than a single-stage polish we will tell you before we start. See our paint correction and restoration service.
Both packages include full decontamination and paint preparation before any coating is applied. Pricing starts at the figures shown and depends on vehicle size and paint condition.
Built for daily drivers who want real gloss and reliable protection without the longest commitment.

For owners who want the highest level of long-term protection and appearance, and who plan to keep the vehicle.
Starting at: $1,249 sedans / $1,499 SUVs and trucks
Bring the vehicle to our Marietta facility on Oak Street, or have us come to you. When we work on site we arrive with everything the job needs, so the car stays in your driveway and your day stays yours.
Our facility is at 1692 Oak Street, Suite 130, Marietta, GA 30060, and we work on site across Alpharetta, Marietta, Johns Creek, Canton, Sandy Springs, Ball Ground, Roswell, Woodstock, Dallas, Brookhaven, Buckhead, East Cobb, Berkeley Lake, Stone Mountain, Cumming, Vinings and the surrounding North Atlanta areas.
They solve different problems, and plenty of vehicles get both. The usual setup is film on the front end and coating everywhere else.
Defends the whole vehicle against UV, oxidation, staining and contamination, and transforms how the car looks and washes. What it will not do is stop a rock.
A thick, self-healing urethane layer on the panels that take impact. It absorbs rock chips and road debris that no coating can. Read about paint protection film.
Most coatings are a full-day job, because the preparation is the majority of the work. Heavier correction can extend into a second day. We give you a realistic window before we book, not an optimistic one.
Yes, and it will be easier than before. We ask you to leave it alone for the first week while the coating fully cures, then wash with a pH-neutral soap and the two-bucket method. Skip automatic brush washes. They are what put swirls in paint in the first place.
No, and be careful with anyone who says it does. A coating adds real hardness and shrugs off light marring from washing, but it will not stop a shopping cart or a rock on I-575. That is what film is for.
Ask how long you are keeping the vehicle. Under five years, the 5-Year package is the sensible spend. Longer than that, or if the car is new and you want it to stay that way, the 8-Year works out cheaper per year and includes deeper correction.
Yes. We bring the equipment, the power and the lighting, and all we need is access to the vehicle and enough room to work around it. You are equally welcome to bring the car to our Marietta facility.
Pick a time that works for you and we will come to you. If you are not sure which package fits your vehicle, book the call anyway. We will look at the paint and tell you honestly what it needs.
