Why it's worth it

What ceramic actually does.

A single coating stewards what you've earned — the aircraft in your hangar, the boat at your dock, the truck in your driveway — through UV, salt, exhaust, and Dakota weather.

For your aircraft

Exhaust soot and bug strike come off easier, gloss holds, and the skin needs less aggressive washing over the life of the paint. The aviation products are independently lab-tested to Boeing specification BSS7432 — materials-compatibility testing, not an OEM approval — and your maintenance documentation gets checked before any quote.

For your boat

A hydrophobic hull glides with less friction through the water — less drag, cleaner running. The surface sheds spray, resists oxidation and hard-water spotting, and cuts your washdown time at the dock to a fraction.

For your vehicle

Daily driver or the one that lives under a cover — a coated finish means easier washes and a deeper, wetter gloss that holds up to gravel roads and prairie winters. Correction happens first, so the coating locks in a flawless surface, not the swirls you started with.

Protection that lasts

One professional-grade ceramic layer stands up to sun, salt, and exhaust for seasons — not weeks. A true mirror finish that's easier to keep clean and built to preserve what you've invested.

The work talks

Straight off the job.

Real surfaces I corrected and coated — not stock photos, not renders. Correction happens first, every time, so the coating locks in a finish worth keeping.

Tiered to the job

The Protection Ladder.

Every tier is the genuine System X chemistry, accredited-installed — not the gas-station kind. I'll tell you straight which one fits your surface and your budget.

Crystal+

Entry tier
3-year warranty

Deeper gloss and real protection at the most accessible price point. A strong first step up from wax.

Pro+

Mid tier
6-year warranty

The most-requested tier — longer protection, the same accredited install, priced for daily drivers and fleets.

Max G+

Flagship
10-year warranty

The flagship. Hyper-gloss, 9H hardness, and the coating that outlasts the loan on most vehicles — with annual inspection.

Every tier is warrantied through System X with an annual inspection. Skip the inspection or wash it wrong, and the warranty walks — do it right and it holds.

9H
Pencil hardness — Max G+ & Phantom
1400°F
Temperature resistance (>760°C)
400+hrs
Salt-spray endurance, ASTM B117 — Max G+ (Phantom: 450+)
SGS
Independent lab — alkali & salt immersion, no visible damage
Beyond the paint

The glass option — and the new one.

Manufacturer-published technical data, with the independent lab reports (SGS, SMI) on file — ask and I'll share them.

Glass+

Windshields & glass
Up to 2 years · invisible 3 µm film

Windshield, windows, mirrors, and glass headlamps. Rain sheets off for real visibility, winter ice and summer bugs release easier, and it reduces glare and stone chips. The cheapest safety upgrade on the menu — add it to any detail or tier.

Phantom 2K

New for 2026
15+ yr effectiveness · 9H · 450+ hr salt spray

System X's new two-part coating — a 2K activator cross-links a denser ceramic matrix than any single-component product in the line. The strongest chemistry they've shipped, and I'll tell you straight: it's the newest, so the field history is short. Ask me whether it fits your job.

System X Ceramic Protection — Accredited Installation Center
The real thing — on paper

Factory-trained, accredited installer.

Anybody can say "ceramic." I went to System X factory training for it — automotive paint correction and coating, plus the advanced aviation course. The aviation line is independently lab-tested to Boeing specification BSS7432 — compatibility testing, not an OEM approval — and the same chemistry goes on your paint, gelcoat, and glass.

  • Tiered to the job — up to the 10-year standard on aircraft, up to a lifetime warranty on everything else
  • Deeper, wetter gloss that holds up to sun and weather
  • Easier washes — dirt and water let go instead of baking on
  • Backed by an accredited install, not a promise

Straight answers

Things owners actually ask me.

Free knowledge, no gatekeeping. If something here saves you a call, good — and if you want it done right, you know where I am.

What does it take to maintain a System X coating?

Wash it every 2–3 weeks with a pH-neutral soap, two-bucket method. Skip the automatic brush washes — those scratch what I just built. Once a year, I do a coating inspection and decon. Every 9–12 months, a System X Renew topper brings the gloss and water-beading back to day one. That's the whole routine. No wax, no sealants, nothing extra to buy.

How do I get rid of water spots between washes?

Two ways to do it safe. Mix 50/50 distilled white vinegar and distilled water, spray a cool panel, let it sit 30 seconds, agitate with a clean microfiber, then rinse. Or use a dedicated citric-acid spot remover per the label. Either way, don't let it dry on the paint, and always rinse after. If the spots won't lift, they've etched into the clear coat — that's a polish job. Text me a photo and I'll tell you straight.

What about tar, tree sap, or bug guts?

Tar comes off with a dedicated tar remover, sprayed on, dwelled 60 seconds, wiped with a soft microfiber, then rinsed. Sap: same remover, or isopropyl cut 50% — small area, quick work. Bugs: pre-soak with a bug remover or warm soapy water for a few minutes before you touch them. Never scrub any of it dry — that's how you put scratches in the clear coat trying to get something off it.

How long does a ceramic coating actually last?

That comes down to prep and maintenance more than what's in the bottle. System X Crystal+ runs 3 years, Pro+ is 6, Max G+ is warrantied for 10 — all backed by System X with an annual inspection. Skip the inspection, or wash it wrong, and that warranty walks. Do it right and Max G+ will outlast the loan on most vehicles. That's ceramic done right — not the gas-station kind.

Should I correct paint before coating?

Yes — if you want the coating to be worth what you paid for it. Ceramic locks in whatever's underneath: swirls, water spots, oxidation, all of it. That's why my Sabre and Super Sabre packages include correction up front. Skip that step and you're just paying to preserve the flaws you already have.

Can you detail in cold weather?

Yes. I work right through winter — heated shop, hangar space, or your garage if it's heated. Coatings need 60–75°F to cure properly, so cold-weather coating jobs happen indoors. Wash-only and interior work can be done almost anywhere with shelter from the wind.
