Some People Want Ceramic Coating. Some People Want It Handled.
Ceramic coating Concierge Service combines the initial installation with years of professional exterior care already built into the ownership experience.
Choose five years or eight years, then choose the installation option that fits you. Concierge is available through my private Appleton studio and through qualifying mobile service. Annual professional exterior care, Priority Exterior Visits and the VIP booking experience are built into the relationship.
The coating was never supposed to be the complicated part.
The problem is what happens over the next several years.
Ceramic coating still needs proper washing, periodic inspection and professional maintenance. That means remembering another appointment, deciding when it needs service, and paying for another visit year after year.
Concierge Service changes that relationship.
The initial installation and long-term professional exterior care are planned together from day one.
I explain the idea in this short video. Then you can compare the two packages below.
Choose the ownership horizon that fits the vehicle.
Both Concierge packages start with full exterior ceramic coating, included single-step paint correction and your choice of Appleton studio or qualifying mobile installation. The difference is how long I remain involved afterward.
- 5-Year Full Exterior Ceramic Coating Paint, wheels/rims, exterior plastics and trim, and all exterior glass.
- Single-Step Paint Correction Included with the initial installation.
- Studio or Mobile Installation Choose the private Appleton studio or qualifying mobile service.
- 5 Annual Exterior Maintenance Visits One professional maintenance and inspection visit each year.
- 2 Priority Exterior Visits Additional visits to use during your five-year term.
- VIP Booking Experience Included for every Concierge visit throughout the service term.
- 8-Year Full Exterior Ceramic Coating Paint, wheels/rims, exterior plastics and trim, and all exterior glass.
- Single-Step Paint Correction Included with the initial installation.
- Studio or Mobile Installation Choose the private Appleton studio or qualifying mobile service.
- 8 Annual Exterior Maintenance Visits One professional maintenance and inspection visit each year.
- 4 Priority Exterior Visits Additional visits to use during your eight-year term.
- VIP Booking Experience Included for every Concierge visit throughout the service term.
You still get a professionally installed 5-year ceramic coating. You simply skip the years of bundled future service and choose how much exterior coverage you want, giving you room to scale the package back to your budget.
Choose how long you want me involved.
The core Concierge experience is the same. The decision is simply how long you want the coating term to run and how many included return appointments you want over the life of the package.
Starting prices reflect Appleton Studio service. Vehicle size, paint condition, optional add-ons and Mobile service can change the final price.
Your annual ceramic coating maintenance is already on the plan.
The 5-Year package includes five annual visits. The 8-Year package includes eight.
Those visits are not described as free. Their cost is built into the Concierge package from the beginning.
The coated exterior receives professional maintenance so I can properly evaluate the protection.
I inspect the condition and performance of the ceramic coating and coated exterior surfaces.
Appropriate maintenance products or topper are applied to support coating performance.
The professional maintenance relationship continues instead of ending when the initial coating is installed.
Annual maintenance handles the schedule. Priority Visits handle life.
Sometimes you want the exterior professionally handled before the next annual appointment.
That is why both Concierge packages include additional Priority Exterior Visits.
Bugs, road film and the aftermath of putting serious miles on the vehicle.
Use one before an important event, meeting, trip or occasion.
Use a visit before selling or trading the vehicle so the coated exterior is professionally prepared.
You do not need a special event to use a Priority Visit.
Priority Exterior Visits are exterior-only and scheduled based on availability. They are not guaranteed same-day appointments and do not include body repair, scratch repair or additional paint correction.
The difference is the service relationship.
I am not charging several thousand dollars because I found a secret ceramic coating that suddenly makes everything else obsolete.
The initial ceramic coating is only part of what you are buying.
Concierge also reserves years of my time for annual exterior maintenance, coating inspections, return service and the additional Priority Exterior Visits included with your package.
In some situations, bundling those future appointments may also cost less than purchasing comparable services separately. In others, the value is primarily the convenience and long-term structure.
Either way, the promise is the same: you know from the beginning who is taking care of the coated exterior over the years ahead.
Standard ceramic coating still makes more sense for plenty of people.
The right choice depends on how much of the future ownership experience you actually want built into the original package.
- You want annual professional exterior maintenance already built into the relationship.
- You value having future professional care planned from the beginning.
- You want access to additional Priority Exterior Visits.
- You expect to own the vehicle long enough to benefit from a 5-year or 8-year care plan.
- You want the VIP booking experience throughout the service term.
- You mainly want the initial ceramic coating installation.
- You are comfortable arranging future maintenance yourself.
- You enjoy personally maintaining the vehicle.
- You may sell or trade the vehicle relatively soon.
- You simply do not need years of professional service bundled into the original purchase.
You can still have the vehicle professionally prepared and protected without bundling years of future service into the original purchase.
The vehicle still starts with a complete professional installation.
Exterior dirt and road film are removed.
Iron and bonded contamination are removed.
A single-step paint correction is included.
Polishing residue and oils are removed.
The full exterior ceramic coating package is installed.
Concierge includes one single-step paint correction with the initial installation. Vehicles requiring substantially more correction or restorative work may require additional service.
Learn About Paint Correction →Concierge does not start with a paint-only package.
Both Concierge options include protection across the major exterior surfaces from the initial installation.
Add interior protection if you want it.
Interior protection can be added separately during the initial installation.
The Concierge program itself remains exterior-focused. Annual maintenance and Priority Exterior Visits do not include ongoing interior cleaning or interior maintenance.
Concierge still follows the same focused service model.
Coatings by the Bay focuses on new and nearly-new vehicles.
Choose the private Appleton studio or mobile installation when the service location is a good fit for the mobile setup.
The schedule remains intentionally limited rather than built around maximum volume.
Your vehicle receives individual attention from preparation through final inspection.
Buy Concierge for convenience and care, not unrealistic protection.
