A Smarter Way to Keep Your Car Looking Incredible
Ceramic Coating in Orland Park, IL
The Secret to a Showroom Shine
You love a clean car. Who doesn't? But the constant washing, waxing, and worrying about every little thing that lands on your paint can be exhausting. There’s a better way to maintain that fresh-from-the-showroom look without all the hassle. At JJs Detailing, we specialize in applying professional grade ceramic coatings that fundamentally change how you care for your vehicle. We've been serving the Orland Park community since 2015, and we know what it takes to make a car stand out from the crowd.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that we apply by hand to the exterior of your vehicle. It chemically bonds with your car’s factory paint, creating a semi permanent layer of slick, glossy goodness.
The Benefits of a Ceramic Coated Vehicle
Unbelievable Gloss and Depth
A professionally applied ceramic coating enhances the reflective properties of your car’s paint. It creates a deep, rich gloss that makes the color pop in any light. Your vehicle will have a constant "wet look" that traditional waxes can only dream of delivering, and for a much longer time. It’s the kind of finish that gets noticed for all the right reasons.
Your Car Stays Cleaner, Longer
The surface of a ceramic coated car is extremely slick and hydrophobic. This means water beads up and rolls right off, taking dirt and grime with it. This self cleaning effect means your vehicle will stay cleaner between washes. When it is time for a wash, bird droppings, bug splatters, and road tar are much easier to remove without harsh scrubbing. You'll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your car.
A Barrier Against the Elements
Your car’s clear coat is tough, but it’s not invincible. A ceramic coating adds a durable layer that stands between your paint and the outside world. It helps guard against chemical stains from acidic contaminants like bug guts and bird droppings. It also aids in preventing water spotting and provides resistance to UV rays, which can cause paint to fade and oxidize over time. Think of it as your car's personal shield against daily driving hazards.

The Answers You're Looking For About Ceramic Coating
What is the difference between a ceramic coating and wax?
Wax is a temporary solution that sits on top of your paint. It offers a nice shine but typically only lasts for a few months at best. A ceramic coating, on the other hand, forms a chemical bond with your paint to create a much more durable and long lasting layer. It offers superior gloss, hydrophobicity, and resilience that wax simply cannot match.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on the specific product used, how the vehicle is maintained, and the conditions it's driven in. Our professional coatings, when properly cared for, can last for many years. We offer different packages with varying levels of longevity, including some with up to a 9 year guarantee.
Will a ceramic coating prevent scratches and rock chips?
This is a common misconception. While a ceramic coating is very durable and adds some scratch resistance against very light swirl marks from washing, it is not a suit of armor. It will not stop rock chips or deep scratches from keys or vandalism. For that level of defense, you would need to look into our Paint Protection Film (PPF) services, which can be applied before a ceramic coating.
Does my car need paint correction before a ceramic coating?
Almost always, yes. A ceramic coating seals in the current state of your paint. If your paint has any swirls, fine scratches, or other imperfections, the coating will lock them in, and they will be very difficult to remove later. We perform a thorough paint correction process to ensure your vehicle's finish is as flawless as possible before we apply the coating. It’s a critical step we refuse to skip.
How do I care for my car after a ceramic coating is applied?
Caring for a coated vehicle is much simpler than caring for an uncoated one. We recommend regular washing using a pH neutral car shampoo and the two bucket method to avoid introducing new swirls. Avoid automatic car washes that use harsh brushes, as they can abrade the coating. The slick surface makes hand washing quick and easy. We’ll give you all the aftercare instructions you need when you pick up your car.
