Ceramic Coating
SB3 Coatings has a full range of Ceramic coatings that will meet needs and help protect against sun damage and oxidation. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants, our coatings last for years of protection. Often measured in years, we have coatings that last from one year to 7 years. An often-overlooked benefit of ceramic coating your car is the way it repels dirt and other substances. A ceramic coating makes your car’s surface very smooth, filling in the imperfections of the clear coat beneath it, making it difficult for dirt to stick to the surface. This means you won’t have to wash your car as frequently. Also making your car easier to clean while maintaining a deep, glossy appearance.
How it works
Car ceramic coating chemically bonds with the paint, creating a long-lasting protective layer. A ceramic coating protects the clear coat layer beneath it. The clear coat layer protects the color layer of your car, but your clear coat can become damaged and scratched pretty easily. Even light abrasion with the clear coat can cause visible damage, therefore having a protective layer on top of it is very important. Ceramic coatings protect against UV rays from the sun. Without protection, UV rays can eat away at your car’s paint, causing oxidation and fade.
Attention to detail
Our extensive process and preparation is what sets us apart when it comes to Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coating. Protecting your investment is our #1 focus, achieving extreme gloss levels and super hydrophobic properties is just a bonus!
Paint Correction
Paint correction refers to the process of restoring and rejuvenating the vehicles paint through the elimination of surface imperfections that dull the surface by reflecting light off in various directions, therefore detracting from a true reflection. These imperfections include scratch and swirl marks, oxidation and fading, paint holograms, bird dropping etching and water spot damage. Once paint is corrected, it is a great idea to pair with one of our ceramic coating packages to lock in and protect from future defects.
Restoring to perfection
Using professional grade machinery and innovative LED work lighting, with a combination of wet sanding, compounds, polishes and specialty pads, we can remove scratches and swirls from your clear coat achieving that rich glossy mirror finish, better than factory!
Paint Protection Film
STEK paint protection film is a clear urethane film designed to provide protection against damaging impacts like rock chips, airborne debris, scratches and road grime. The film provides an 8 mil thick barrier and features a self-healing, clear coated top layer. STEK is virtually invisible, making it a perfect option to preserve the look of your vehicle while protecting the paint!
We protect your investment
We take great pride in only using the best products on the market. From our paint sealants to our clear bra film, we make sure that nothing but the highest quality products are used to protect your vehicle.

"Chavez & Sons are top notch. Raul went above and beyond to accommodate my detailing and PPF needs. They do fantastic work and stand behind it 100%. Thank you Raul, you did an amazing job on my buggy."
"Great and professional service. Was a bit skeptical of the prices at first but Chavez and Sons are masters of their craft and I'm completely satisfied with all aspects of their service. Thank you!"
"Absolutely love the work that Chavez and Sons do. Took my 21 4 Runner in for a ceramic coat, and the vehicle looked better than initially purchasing the vehicle."
"Excellent work and extremely professional. Work was done and completed in a timely manner. Very very happy with the results."
"My car has never been more clean. I feel like I have a whole new vehicle. Very impressed and thankful for their services!"
"I tried this shop since it was the only authorized Stek PPF installer within a reasonable distance and the reviews looked good. I already had a full body PPF from another installer but needed my lip rewrapped. Raul was courteous, professional and was fair on his pricing. He took care of my lip rewrap and really showed his professionalism when some minor but noticeable imperfections came up on it a few weeks later. If you've had a wrap, you know these things happen...just comes with the territory. It's how the installer deals with them that is more important. Raul excelled here and took care of the problems until we were both satisfied with the results. Oh, and he is very communicative as well. If you need something before or during your service, give him a shout! Highly recommend!"
"I entrusted Chavez with my brand new Tesla Y to provide both paint protection film and ceramic coating. They took great care with my car. The workmanship was simply outstanding and the finish is fantastic! The protection film was applied in a fashion that it is invisible, and along with the ceramic coating has significantly improved the appearance of my vehicle. I highly recommend Chavez Auto Detailing and am extremely satisfied with the work that was done."
"This is my second car I’ve had detailed with Chavez and Sons. They did the ceramic coating on both cars and it’s worth every cent! Absolutely fantastic job on both! They are very professional and easy to work with. I recommend this company to everyone who wants their vehicles to look brand new and stay that way! They go above and beyond!"
"Absolutely professional and perfect results. Raul exceeded expectations. My vehicle looks better than the day I bought it new. I got the Trinity ceramic coating, wheels coated, and glass coated. The black paint has a wet look and is a deep crisp black without any haze. The trim and wheels shine. Raul was great at communicating from the beginning with his estimate, during the service, and in accommodating some special requests. He’s flexible and responsive. I will definitely use Chavez Auto Detailing in the future for other services. I highly recommend this veteran owned and operated company. Thanks Raul, couldn’t be happier with your service."
"I am very pleased with the finished product of my vehicle. Raul did a great job and it shows! Vehicle looks like glass and better than it did when I received it from the showroom floor!"
"I couldn’t be happier with the results! They paid attention to every detail and my car looks like it came off the showroom floor! Highly recommend!"
"They really did an awesome job! I was very impressed at the results. The car looks actually better than when it was new! I highly recommend them. Very friendly and courteous too!"

"Raul from Chavez Auto Detailing did an amazing job with my 2023 BMW X5. The vehicle was attended to with attention, love and care. The PPF applied was amazing and on point. Raul took his time to carefully laid each piece with precision. He also coated the film with two layers of ceramic coating and along with the wheels. The results were outstanding! He explained the entire process and was super attentive to my questions and needs. You definitely won’t be disappointed! Top notch professionalism! And top notch workmanship. Definitely will come back with my next car."
"Chavez and Sons did an amazing job on my GoMango Dodge Charger! They gave me a free estimate and when I was ready they made it very easy to schedule a time and day to do a 1 year ceramic coat. My car looks immaculate now and I’m very pleased with the work they did. I will definitely be returning in the future!"
"Incredibly professional, great customer care, and and got my car to 100!! Highly recommend! Veteran doing it right!"
"Service was very thorough. Staff was very kind and professional and made for an overall pleasant experience."
"I compared many options before I finally decided to bring my new car to Chavez Auto Detailing for paint protection and ceramic coating and I could not be happier with the service I was provided. Their attention to detail sold me. You can see it for yourself in their website, their portfolio, and their videos. You can tell they're proud of the work they do on every car they touch and your car will be the next shining example of their incredible work ethic. I will recommend Chavez Auto Detailing to anyone that asks for my opinion from here on out."
"Raul detailed my Jeep Patriot that needed some serious love and he did an awesome job! I picked up my car smelling and looking great. He even got some stickers off my window that had been on there for 7+ years. Definitely recommend!"
"I have a three year old black SUV that was ceramic coated by the dealership when I purchased it. I had a paint correction and ceramic coating applied, and my car looked 1000% better when these guys were done with it than the day I bought it. Amazing work and attention to detail. Communication during the process was outstanding and clear expectations of what could and could not be accomplished were laid out from the start. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable shop to care for and protect their vehicle!"
"Phenomenal service! Attention to detail in PPF & ceramic coating brought this Range Rover Sport back to life."
"Just picked up my car today and all I can say is it looks awesome. I had level one paint correction, ceramic coating on interior, exterior and glass surfaces. I went there all the way from Virginia Beach because of the quality and the price. I highly recommend using this company and their prices are more than reasonable for the work that they do."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They are timely, professional, and well worth the price. Our vehicle was as clean as the day we drove it off of the lot (if not cleaner). We will be returning for sure!"
"I will start off by saying that I live in Williamsburg but heard that Chavez and Sons is best at installing paint protection film and ceramic coating. I contacted Chavez and Sons on 10/14/22 to receive a quote to install STEK full front paint protection film and apply SB3 Trinity ceramic coating to my 2023 Audi Q7. Raul sent me a detailed invoice, and I was scheduled to drop my car off on 10/24/22. At that time, Raul, the owner, also INSISTED that I come to his garage to see his work. I was able to visit his shop on 10/21/22. The shop is not only EXTREMELY clean and well-lit, but also SECURE. Raul showed me a luxury vehicle that he applied paint protection film, and I was blown away! I could not even see the film on the car. I dropped my car off on 10/24/22 to have the PPF installed, and SB3 Trinity ceramic coating applied. I received numerous updates and could also follow the work being done on social media, but Raul did not post the finished product until after I picked up my vehicle. The surprise was worth the wait. I picked up my car on 10/28/22 and could not believe my eyes! My car looks AMAZING. I was shocked. I expected it to look good, but Raul far exceeded my expectations. When my husband and I picked it up Raul proudly showed us the edges, where he made relief cuts, and everything looks perfect. My car looks better than when I picked it up from the dealership. Thank you so much, Chavez and Sons!"
"A great job was done and I would definitely go back for my truck and other car. Highly recommend to others and it is worth every penny!"
"My car was ceramic coated. Dropped off on a friday and picked up on sunday . Absolutely amazing job. Done properly and on time. Also very good at replying and keeping me updated on the status of the job. I had no issues."
"Great family/veteran owned business. I had Chavez and Sons AD apply their STEK PPF to my windshield on my Toyota 4Runner. The quality and clarity of the product they use is phenomenal. They took great pride and care in their service. We WILL be returning for the other services they provide."
"All around great experience. Professional, quick, and amazing results. Would happily use again!"
"After searching all over the Hampton Roads area I came upon Chavez Auto Detailing and I’m extremely glad I did! I was looking for a highly rated and very professional detailing service in order to trade in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for ultimate negotiating power. Let me tell you, I strongly believe that by choosing the Sapphire Package and Pet Hair Removal option, I was able to negotiate and receive MUCH more than what was previously appraised by multiple sources! You absolutely won’t regret taking your vehicle here!"
"Very professional service and Raul was very accommodating with my schedule. Will definitely recommend to friends and family."

FAQ
Maintaining PPF is relatively easy. It's recommended to wash the vehicle regularly with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and debris. It's important to avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners on the film as this can damage the protective layer. Additionally, it's essential to avoid parking under trees or in areas where the vehicle is likely to be exposed to bird droppings, as these can be corrosive and damage the film over time. Overall, Paint Protection Film is a great way to protect your vehicle's paint and maintain its value. If you're considering PPF for your vehicle, be sure to consult with a professional installer to ensure that the film is applied correctly and that it is the right choice for your vehicle.
Yes, Paint Protection Film can be a good investment for those who want to protect the appearance and value of their vehicle. The cost of PPF can vary depending on the quality of the film and the size of the vehicle, but it can be less expensive than having to repaint or repair the vehicle's paint due to damage. Additionally, PPF can enhance the appearance of the vehicle by providing a clear and glossy finish.
PPF can be applied to any vehicle with a painted surface. However, it is more commonly used on high-end or luxury vehicles as they are more expensive to repair or repaint. PPF is also popular among owners of sports cars and vehicles that are driven off-road or in harsh weather conditions.
Yes, PPF is removable. It can be peeled off without damaging the vehicle's paint or leaving any residue behind. However, it's essential to have a professional remove the film to avoid any damage to the paint.
Paint Protection Film works by forming a barrier between the vehicle's painted surface and the elements that can cause damage. The film is designed to absorb impacts, such as gravel or debris, and prevent them from damaging the paint underneath. The film is also self-healing, meaning that minor scratches and scuffs will disappear over time due to the heat of the sun or hot water.
Yes, ceramic coating can be applied to used vehicles. However, we recommend performing paint correction first to remove any existing imperfections like scratches and swirl marks. This ensures the coating bonds correctly and provides optimal protection and a flawless finish.
The cost of ceramic coating varies depending on several factors, such as the size of the vehicle, the level of correction required, and the quality of the product used. In general, the cost can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars.
While it is possible to apply ceramic coating yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a professional detailer. Ceramic coating requires a high level of skill and experience to apply correctly, and if applied incorrectly, it can damage the paint finish. Additionally, professional detailers have access to specialized tools and equipment that ensure the best results.
Ceramic coating is typically applied using a microfiber applicator pad or spray gun. The vehicle's paint finish must be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before the ceramic coating is applied. The coating is then allowed to cure for a certain period of time before it is ready to use.
Ceramic coating can be applied to most types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. However, it is important to ensure that the vehicle's paint finish is properly prepared before applying the coating.
The longevity of ceramic coating depends on several factors, such as the quality of the product, the level of maintenance, and the driving conditions the vehicle is exposed to. In general, a well-applied ceramic coating can last anywhere from 2-5 years.
Ceramic coating offers several benefits, including protection against UV rays, acid rain, and environmental contaminants. It also makes the paint finish more resistant to scratches and swirl marks and provides a hydrophobic effect that repels water and makes cleaning the vehicle easier.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle to create a protective layer that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants. Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection and enhances the appearance of the vehicle's paint finish.
Paint correction is a detailed process that involves removing imperfections such as scratches, swirls, and oxidation from your vehicle’s paint. It restores the paint to its original clarity and shine by carefully polishing the surface to eliminate defects, resulting in a smooth and flawless finish.
Paint correction can effectively remove many surface-level scratches and swirls, but the ability to remove a scratch depends on its depth. Shallow scratches that only affect the clear coat can often be completely removed, while deeper scratches that penetrate the paint may be reduced but not entirely eliminated. In some cases, touch-up paint or additional repairs may be necessary for deeper scratches.
Swirls and scratches are commonly caused by improper washing and drying techniques, such as using abrasive sponges, dirty wash mitts, or automatic car washes with stiff brushes. They can also result from environmental factors like tree branches, road debris, or accidental contact with hard surfaces. Over time, these small imperfections accumulate, dulling the vehicle’s appearance.
Yes, paint correction is a safe process when performed by professionals. At Chavez Auto Detailing, we use specialized tools and high-quality polishing compounds that are designed to safely remove imperfections without damaging the paint. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that only the necessary amount of clear coat is removed to achieve a flawless finish.
The results of paint correction can last for several years, depending on how well the vehicle is maintained. Proper washing techniques, regular detailing, and applying protective coatings like wax or ceramic coating can help preserve the corrected finish and keep your vehicle looking its best for a long time.
Yes, paint correction is an effective way to remove oxidation from your vehicle’s paint. Oxidation occurs when the paint’s surface begins to break down due to exposure to the elements, leading to a dull and faded appearance. Paint correction restores the paint’s clarity and shine by carefully polishing away the oxidized layer.
One of the best things about Paint Protection Film is its longevity. A professionally installed Paint Protection Film (PPF) should last from 5 to 10 years. , PPF receives a warranty if the installation company is certified to use their products.
Yes, it is worth considering because of the money it can potentially save you down the road. If your car is protected, you won't have to worry about getting it painted before you resell it. The cost of painting a car is quite expensive. It is also a very detailed process that can potentially delay a future sale.
The answer is yes! Paint protection film (PPF) truly does have the magic ability to heal swirls and scratches with heat, leaving your paint glossy and shiny. It also has the ability to absorb impact and preserve your paint from rock chips.
Yes, paint correction is highly recommended before applying a ceramic coating. The correction process removes any existing imperfections in the paint, ensuring a smooth and defect-free surface. This allows the ceramic coating to bond more effectively, providing better protection and a more visually appealing finish.
This will depend based on the type of scratch and the brand of paint protection film. If the PPF is infused with nanotechnology, such as STEK's DYNOshield Instant Healing PPF, minor paint damage can be filled with the adhesive. Heavy defects will require paint correction or body repair prior to any PPF installation.
