Ceramic Pro Coatings in Moncton, NB

A ceramic coating is a professional protective coating applied to your vehicle's paint. Ceramic Pro coatings enhance the appearance and clarity of your finish, create a hydrophobic surface where water beads and rolls away more easily, make regular washing easier, and help protect against contaminants, bird droppings, road grime, and UV exposure.

Ceramic Pro has two tiers of authorized installers: regular authorized installers and Elite Dealers. Regular installers can also offer genuine Ceramic Pro products, eligible manufacturer-backed warranties, Ceramic Pro warranty registration and CARFAX Canada documentation. What sets Elite Dealers apart is access to exclusive premium products and packages that regular installers cannot offer, including Ceramic Pro ION, the Official Ultimate Armor package, and the ION Ultimate lifetime package. Shine by Design is the only Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer in New Brunswick — and the only shop in Greater Moncton able to offer these Elite-exclusive products.

It depends on the coating system and how the vehicle is maintained. Ceramic Pro packages are backed by manufacturer warranties: the Bronze package carries a 2-year warranty, the Silver package a 5-year warranty, the ION package a 7-year warranty, and the ION Ultimate carries a manufacturer-registered lifetime warranty. Real-world longevity depends on the coating quality, preparation, application, and how the vehicle is cared for. Regular proper washing — avoiding automatic brush washes and using pH-neutral soap — is the single biggest factor in maximizing coating lifespan.

Ceramic coatings increase the hardness of your paint surface and can help resist light swirl marks from improper washing technique, but they are not designed to prevent scratches from keys, road debris, or mechanical contact, and they cannot absorb the impact energy of a stone chip. For chip protection, paint protection film (PPF) is the right choice. A common and highly effective approach is to apply PPF to the front end and ceramic coat the entire vehicle.

Ceramic Pro ION uses a two-component ION Exchange Technology system: an ION Base Coat that forms a molecular bond with your paint, followed by an ION Top Coat that fuses both layers into a single hardened surface. The ION Ultimate adds a second ION Base Coat layer. ION is exclusively available at Ceramic Pro Elite Dealers — and in all of New Brunswick, that means only here at Shine by Design.

Ceramic coating installation typically takes 1–3 days depending on the package and the vehicle's condition. Paint correction, if required, adds additional time. We'll give you a realistic timeline when you book.

Yes — all ceramic coatings benefit from proper care to perform long-term and maintain an active manufacturer warranty. This means washing regularly with pH-neutral car wash soap, avoiding automated brush car washes, not using harsh detergents or degreasers on the coated surface, and following Ceramic Pro's care guidelines. Manufacturer-registered warranties require adherence to the care and inspection requirements specified by Ceramic Pro. We provide full aftercare instructions with every installation.

Manufacturer-registered warranties require the vehicle to be maintained according to Ceramic Pro's care guidelines, including periodic inspections. Warranty terms vary by package — we'll walk you through the specifics for your chosen package.
