Why coat it

More than gloss.

A ceramic coating bonds to your clear coat and changes how the surface behaves. Water leaves faster. Dirt holds on with less grip. The finish stays sharp between washes.

01
Hydrophobic behavior
Water beads and sheets off instead of sitting on the panel. Fewer spots left behind.
02
Easier maintenance
Road film and bug residue release with far less effort. Shorter washes, less contact with your paint.
03
Enhanced gloss
Added depth and clarity over properly prepared paint. Dark colors look noticeably wetter.
04
Chemical resistance
A sacrificial barrier against detergents, bird droppings and bug acids.
05
Environmental protection
Florida sun, sprinkler water, sap and fallout land on the coating first.
06
Cleaner between washes
Less contamination bonds to the surface, so the car stays presentable longer.
Set expectations first

Ceramic coating doesn't fix paint.

It protects the finish that is already there. Whatever is in the paint on the day it goes on stays in the paint underneath.

Most vehicles are ready to coat as they sit. Some are not. You should know which one yours is before the work starts.

A coating will not remove
  • Light swirls and wash marks
  • Haze and reduced clarity
  • Minor surface imperfections
  • Etching already in the clear coat
Want those addressed? A one-step paint enhancement can be added before the coating goes on.
Included in the package

Want more from your paint?

The one-step correction is built in.

For newer vehicles and well-maintained paint, a one-step correction refines the finish, improves gloss and clarity, and gives the ceramic coating a better surface to protect. It is part of the package, not an upsell.

What it does
  • Refines the finish in a single machine polishing stage, included
  • Improves gloss, clarity and reflection quality
  • Reduces the appearance of light swirls and wash marks
  • Leaves a cleaner surface for the coating to bond to
What it is not

An enhancement, not a full multi-stage correction. One stage improves the finish. It will not remove every defect, and deeper scratches stay.

If your paint needs more than one stage, I will tell you that after seeing it.

Every coating package includes this stage, which is why newer vehicles come out of it looking their best.

Just picked it up?

New doesn't always mean perfect.

Your vehicle may be brand new to you, but the paint has already been through transportation, dealership preparation, washing, and handling.

That is normal. It also means delivery day is rarely the best that paint can look. The one-step correction runs before the coating goes on, so what gets sealed in is a refined finish rather than the one the transport truck handed you.

Protect it from day one.
The service

What's included.

Same sequence every time. The prep decides how the coating performs, so none of it gets skipped.

  1. Thorough exterior washWashed by hand, so nothing gets sealed in.
  2. Paint decontaminationBonded contamination removed, the kind a wash leaves behind.
  3. Surface preparationPaint brought to a clean, bare surface.
  4. One-step paint correctionA single machine polishing stage to refine gloss and clarity before sealing.
  5. Panel prepEvery panel wiped and inspected before coating.
  6. Professional GYEON ceramic coating applicationApplied panel by panel, leveled by hand.
  7. Glass and wheel faces coatedThe same coating goes on the windshield, side glass and the faces of the wheels, so rain clears faster and brake dust and bugs wipe off instead of baking on.
  8. Final inspectionChecked under light for high spots and evenness.
  9. Coating care guidanceHow to wash it, and what to do the first week.
The finish
Coated, not just clean.

GYEON
Product

Powered by GYEON.

Papaya uses GYEON ceramic technology for this service. GYEON is a professional coating manufacturer built around durability and repeatable results.

The coating applied is GYEON CanCoat EVO, a professional-grade SiO2 coating rated for up to 1.5 years with proper maintenance.

You are buying a service, not a bottle. The result comes from the prep underneath and the care taken applying it.

After the coating

Ceramic doesn't mean maintenance-free.

A coating makes maintenance easier. It does not remove it. Dirt and water spots still land on the surface, and left long enough they still dull the finish.

Washed properly, a coated car holds its gloss for the life of the coating. Run through a brush wash, it will not.

Keep it on schedule
  • Regular maintenance washes using pH-neutral products
  • Safe wash technique, no automatic brush tunnels
  • Contamination removed before it has time to bond
  • Coating checked over time as part of the visit

Papaya offers recurring maintenance detailing for coated vehicles, so it stays that way without you thinking about it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is ceramic coating worth it on a new car?

For most owners, yes. New paint is the cleanest it will ever be, so the coating locks in a good starting point. The payoff is easier washing and a finish that holds its look. If you are keeping the car six months, it is hard to justify.

Is paint correction included?

Yes. Every package includes a one-step correction before the coating goes on, because the coating seals in whatever is there. One stage handles light swirls and wash marks. Paint that needs multiple stages is a bigger job and gets quoted separately after I see it.

What does a 1.5-year ceramic coating protect against?

UV, bird droppings, bug residue, sap, hard water spotting and road film. They attack the coating instead of your clear coat, and come off far easier before they can etch. Chemical and environmental protection, not physical armor.

Are the windows and wheels coated too?

Yes, both, and both are included. The windshield and side glass get the same coating, so water beads and clears faster at speed and bugs and sprinkler spots come off with much less scrubbing. The wheel faces get it too, which is where it earns its keep in Florida: brake dust rinses off instead of baking on. Glass wears faster than paint because the wiper blades ride on it, and wheel faces take the most heat of anything on the car.

How long does the coating last?

Up to a year. Real life depends on how it is washed, whether it is garaged, and sun exposure. A garage-kept car washed properly reaches the full window. One parked outside and run through brush washes will not.

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

No. Nothing applied to paint makes it scratch proof, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something. It adds a thin sacrificial layer with some resistance to light marring. It will not stop rock chips, key scratches, or swirls from bad wash technique.

How is ceramic coating different from wax?

Wax sits on top and lasts weeks to a few months, breaking down with heat and detergents. A coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and forms a harder, more chemically resistant layer. The difference shows up in durability and chemical resistance.

How do I maintain a ceramic-coated vehicle?

Wash regularly with pH-neutral shampoo, two-bucket or touchless, and dry with clean microfiber. Avoid brush tunnels, harsh degreasers and washing in direct sun. Do not let droppings or sprinkler water sit for days. You get the full rundown when the work is done.

What is a one-step correction, exactly?

A single machine polishing stage that refines the finish, improves gloss and clarity, and reduces light swirls and wash marks. It is not a full multi-stage correction and will not remove every defect, so deeper scratches stay. On newer paint it is usually all that is needed.
