SB3 Coatings Certified Installer
Ceramic Coating Marietta, Ga.
Auto Shine Detailing specializes in professional ceramic coating installation designed to enhance gloss, simplify maintenance, and protect your vehicle from Georgia’s harsh sun, pollen, road grime, and environmental contamination.
The Difference Is in the Preparation
One thing I've learned after years of working on vehicles is that the coating itself is only part of the equation. A ceramic coating can only perform as well as the surface underneath it. That's why every vehicle receives a thorough wash, decontamination process, and paint inspection before the coating is installed. Some vehicles only need a light enhancement polish. Others may benefit from additional correction before being coated.The goal is simple: create the best possible foundation before applying long-term protection.

Why We Install SB3 Ceramic Coatings
There are a lot of ceramic coating brands on the market, and new ones seem to come out all the time. Rather than switching to whatever is new, I chose a coating system that has consistently delivered the results I want for my customers.
A Proven Track Record
I’ve been installing SB3 ceramic coatings since 2020, and they’ve earned my trust through real-world results. They produce excellent gloss, make routine washing easier, and provide durable protection against the elements. Most importantly, I’ve seen how they perform years after installation, not just when the vehicle leaves my shop.
Preparation Comes First
No ceramic coating can make up for poor preparation. That’s why every vehicle receives a thorough wash, chemical decontamination, clay treatment when needed, and the appropriate level of paint polishing before the coating is applied.
A ceramic coating protects the finish you’ve created. It doesn’t replace the work required to get the paint looking its best.
Professional Installation Matters
Installing a ceramic coating is more than applying a product to the paint. Proper lighting, temperature, humidity, surface preparation, and application technique all play a role in how well the coating performs.
As an accredited SB3 installer, I follow the recommended installation process and apply every coating indoors in a controlled environment. That helps ensure the coating bonds correctly and delivers the performance it’s designed for.
More Than Just the Coating
At Auto Shine Detailing, I believe the installer is just as important as the product. That’s why I focus on proper preparation, careful installation, and educating my customers so they know exactly what to expect.
SB3 has earned a place in my shop because it’s a coating system I trust. My goal isn’t to install the newest ceramic coating on the market. It’s to provide long-lasting protection that I can confidently stand behind.
What Is Ceramic Coating Paint Protection?
A ceramic coating is a durable layer of protection that bonds to your vehicle’s paint. It helps repel water, dirt, and contaminants while enhancing gloss and making routine washing easier.
Benefits include:
- easier maintenance
- increased gloss and depth
- UV protection
- improved water behavior
- resistance to environmental contamination
- long-term paint preservation
Why New Cars Still Need Paint Preparation
One of the biggest surprises for many customers is learning that a brand-new vehicle isn’t always ready for a ceramic coating.
I’ve seen new vehicles arrive with dealership-installed swirl marks, water spots, transportation fallout, and other defects that become much more noticeable once the paint is protected.
Before recommending any ceramic coating package, I inspect the paint and determine what level of preparation makes sense for the vehicle.
I want the coating to look and perform its best for years to come.
Which Ceramic Coating Is Right for You?
Not everyone needs the longest-lasting coating available.
Some customers simply want easier maintenance and protection for a daily driver. Others want the highest level of gloss and long-term preservation.
After inspecting your vehicle and discussing your goals, I’ll help you determine which package makes the most sense for your situation.
Ceramic Coatings Are Not Scratch-Proof
One of the most common misconceptions about ceramic coatings is that they make paint scratch-proof.
They don’t.
A ceramic coating helps protect against UV damage, environmental fallout, bird droppings, bug residue, and everyday contamination. It also makes washing significantly easier.
What it won’t do is stop rock chips or prevent improper washing from creating scratches.
I believe in setting realistic expectations from the beginning so customers know exactly what a ceramic coating can and cannot do.
Every Vehicle Undergoes a Comprehensive Process That Includes:
Premium Exterior Wash
Safely removes dirt, film, and buildup getting your car extremely clean.
Iron Removal + Clay Treatment
Eliminates embedded contamination that blocks bonding.
Paint Inspection Under Lighting
Reveals swirls and defects that should be corrected.
Light Polish or Paint Correction
Restores clarity, gloss levels and adds another the step of cleaning.
Panel Wipe Surface Prep
Prepares paint for maximum coating adhesion.
Proper Installation + Cure Time
Careful application and curing times are crucial for a coating to last.
