Long-Term Protection for Paint, Glass & Wheels

As a certified IGL Coatings installer in Dawson Creek, we apply ceramic coatings for paint, glass, and wheels to help protect your vehicle from Peace Region driving conditions while adding a deep, hydrophobic finish.

Why Ceramic Coating

Protection That Lasts Years, Not Weeks

Traditional waxes and sealants break down within months. A professional ceramic coating creates a permanent chemical bond with your vehicle's clear coat, forming a sacrificial layer that protects the factory paint underneath.

For vehicles in the Peace Region, this means long-term defence against road salt, gravel chips, harsh UV in summer, and freezing temperatures in winter — all while making your vehicle significantly easier to wash and maintain.

Hydrophobic Surface

Water beads and rolls off, carrying dirt and contaminants with it. Your vehicle stays cleaner between washes.

Crystal-Like Gloss

Creates an incredibly deep, glossy finish that enhances your paint's colour and depth far beyond what wax can achieve.

Chemical Resistance

Resists etching from bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain, and harsh chemicals that would damage unprotected paint.

Preserves Resale Value

Protects your OEM paint from degradation, eliminates the need for wax, and saves time and money on maintenance long-term.

Common Questions

Ceramic Coating FAQ

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Longevity depends on the surface coated, driving conditions, storage, and maintenance habits. We will walk through realistic expectations when quoting your paint, glass, wheel, or package option.

Is ceramic coating worth it in Northern BC?

Absolutely. Vehicles in the Peace Region face road salt, gravel, extreme cold, and intense summer UV. A ceramic coating provides a resilient barrier against all of these while making regular washing faster and easier.

Do I still need to wash my vehicle after coating?

Yes, but much less frequently and with far less effort. The hydrophobic surface means dirt and grime have a harder time bonding to the paint, and a simple rinse often does the job.

Can you coat a brand new vehicle?

New vehicles are ideal candidates. Applying a coating early locks in that factory finish and prevents the first signs of environmental damage from ever taking hold.

What does paint correction before coating involve?

For paint coating, the price includes a 1-step correction to improve gloss and remove light defects. Since the coating locks in the finish underneath, preparation is an important part of the job.

What makes IGL Coatings different from other brands?

IGL pioneered low and zero VOC ceramic formulations. Their coatings are independently tested, REACH compliant, and ISO 9001:2015 certified — delivering top-tier hardness and durability without hazardous chemicals.
