Ceramic Coating

A professional grade coating that bonds to your clear coat for long term protection, deeper gloss, and a surface that beads water and washes clean. Available in 5 year and 9 year options.

What this involves

Paint Correction

Machine polishing that removes or reduces swirl marks, oxidation, water spots and light scratches, and brings the clarity and gloss back into the paint.

What this involves

Interior Detailing

Upholstery steamed and sanitized, carpets shampooed, vents and door jambs brushed out, dashboard cleaned and degreased, glass cleaned inside and out.

What this involves

Wheel Coating

Ceramic protection applied to the wheel faces and barrels, so brake dust and road grime sit on the coating instead of baking into the finish.

What this involves

Window Coating

A hydrophobic coating on the glass so rain beads up and runs off the windscreen instead of sitting on it. It earns its keep in an Oregon winter.

What this involves

Spot Removal

Targeted work on a stain or a mark that is bothering you, on paint or inside the cabin, without putting the whole car through a full detail.

What this involves

Clay Treatment

A clay bar pass that pulls bonded contaminants and iron deposits out of the paint and leaves it smooth. It is the step that has to happen before any coating goes on.

About

Who we are

Diamond Coating Auto Studio is a studio based detailing and paint protection shop in Portland, Oregon. We work indoors, in a clean and controlled space, because that is what a ceramic coating needs to bond and cure properly.

There is over 8 years of professional experience behind the work. We specialize in ceramic coatings, paint correction and interior detailing, and we treat a daily driver the same way we treat a Porsche or a BMW: the same preparation, the same time on the clock, the same finish at the end.

Licensed and insured, and Pro Team certified.

Indoors, every time.

A coating cures best in a clean, temperature controlled space with no dust or wind in it. You never get that on a driveway, which is why we do not offer mobile coating and why everything is applied and cured inside.

Licensed and insured, and Pro Team certified.

Questions we get asked

How long does a ceramic coating last?

We offer a 5 year and a 9 year ceramic coating package. How long yours actually lasts comes down to how the car is washed and looked after once the coating is on.

What does a ceramic coating do?

It bonds to your clear coat and adds a hard, water repelling layer. It protects against UV, dirt, road grime and water spots, it deepens the gloss, and it makes the car much easier to wash.

Will a coating stop scratches?

No. A coating is not scratch proof. It adds a durable layer that helps with light swirl marks and everyday contaminants, but it will not stop a real scratch.

Can you wash a car that is already coated?

Yes. Our maintenance wash is set up to clean a coated car safely, without stripping or damaging the coating.

How long does an interior detail take?

Between two and five hours, depending on the size of the vehicle and the condition it arrives in.

Do you offer mobile ceramic coating?

No, and that is on purpose. A coating cures best in a clean, temperature controlled space with no dust or wind in it, which you never get on a driveway. Everything we coat is applied and cured inside our studio.

Which areas do you cover?

Owners drive to us from Portland, Vancouver, Gresham, Camas, Happy Valley, Troutdale and Fairview.
