COATINGS BY THE BAY CONCIERGE SERVICE

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.

5 or 8 Years of Service
1 Annual Visit Each Year
2 or 4 Priority Exterior Visits
WHY I BUILT CONCIERGE SERVICE

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.

A QUICK MESSAGE FROM GEORGE 5 or 8 years of exterior care.
TWO WAYS TO HAVE IT HANDLED

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 CONCIERGE
APPLETON STUDIO STARTING AT $3,295 Mobile pricing varies by service location. Calculate your exact package with no contact information required.
Five years of coating protection and scheduled exterior care.
  • 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.
Calculate 5-Year Price
CONCIERGE MORE THAN YOU EXPECTED? That is exactly why Build Your Own starts at just $995.

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.

See Build Your Own Pricing
5 YEARS OR 8 YEARS

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.

5-YEAR CONCIERGE $3,295 Appleton Studio starting price
5 Years Ceramic coating term
5 Annual maintenance visits
2 Priority Exterior Visits

Starting prices reflect Appleton Studio service. Vehicle size, paint condition, optional add-ons and Mobile service can change the final price.

ONE PROFESSIONAL VISIT EVERY YEAR

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.

01 Exterior Maintenance

The coated exterior receives professional maintenance so I can properly evaluate the protection.

02 Ceramic Coating Inspection

I inspect the condition and performance of the ceramic coating and coated exterior surfaces.

03 Protection Refresh

Appropriate maintenance products or topper are applied to support coating performance.

04 Scheduled Return Service

The professional maintenance relationship continues instead of ending when the initial coating is installed.

PRIORITY EXTERIOR VISITS

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.

5-YEAR CONCIERGE 2 Priority Visits
8-YEAR CONCIERGE 4 Priority Visits
AFTER THE ROAD TRIP Get the highway off it.

Bugs, road film and the aftermath of putting serious miles on the vehicle.

BEFORE THE EVENT Have it looking its best.

Use one before an important event, meeting, trip or occasion.

BEFORE THE SALE Present the vehicle properly.

Use a visit before selling or trading the vehicle so the coated exterior is professionally prepared.

JUST BECAUSE Sometimes you simply want it handled.

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.

THIS IS NOT A MAGICALLY BETTER COATING

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.

CONCIERGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

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.

CONCIERGE MAY FIT YOU IF...
  • 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.
A STANDARD PACKAGE MAY FIT BETTER IF...
  • 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.
MORE THAN YOU ACTUALLY NEED? Standard 5-year ceramic coating packages start under $1,000.

You can still have the vehicle professionally prepared and protected without bundling years of future service into the original purchase.

See Standard Pricing
BEFORE THE LONG-TERM CARE BEGINS

The vehicle still starts with a complete professional installation.

01 Clean

Exterior dirt and road film are removed.

02 Decontaminate

Iron and bonded contamination are removed.

03 Correct

A single-step paint correction is included.

04 Panel Prep

Polishing residue and oils are removed.

05 Protect

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 →
FULL EXTERIOR FROM DAY ONE

Concierge does not start with a paint-only package.

Both Concierge options include protection across the major exterior surfaces from the initial installation.

01 Paint
02 Wheels / Rims
03 Plastics + Trim
04 All Exterior Glass
WHAT ABOUT THE INTERIOR?

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.

BUILT FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES

Concierge still follows the same focused service model.

Last 2 Model Years

Coatings by the Bay focuses on new and nearly-new vehicles.

Studio or Qualifying Mobile

Choose the private Appleton studio or mobile installation when the service location is a good fit for the mobile setup.

10 Clients Per Month

The schedule remains intentionally limited rather than built around maximum volume.

1 Vehicle at a Time

Your vehicle receives individual attention from preparation through final inspection.

YEARS OF SERVICE DO NOT CHANGE WHAT CERAMIC COATING IS

Buy Concierge for convenience and care, not unrealistic protection.

CERAMIC COATING DOES WELL
  • Improves gloss and slickness
  • Makes routine washing easier
  • Provides hydrophobic water behavior
  • Adds chemical resistance
  • Makes normal contamination easier to remove
  • Eliminates the traditional waxing cycle
CERAMIC COATING DOES NOT
  • Stop rock chips
  • Prevent scratches
  • Prevent every water spot
  • Eliminate normal washing
  • Hide damaged paint
  • Replace paint protection film

CONCIERGE SERVICE FAQ

The questions worth answering before you spend the money.

What is Ceramic Coating Concierge Service?
Concierge combines the initial full exterior ceramic coating installation with scheduled annual exterior maintenance for the selected service term. It also includes additional Priority Exterior Visits and the VIP booking experience throughout the Concierge relationship.
How much does Concierge Service cost?
Appleton Studio Concierge starts at $3,295 for 5 years and $4,895 for 8 years. Exact pricing can change based on vehicle size, paint condition, optional add-ons and Mobile service location. The Concierge calculator shows your exact package without requiring contact information.
What is included with 5-Year Concierge?
The 5-Year package includes a 5-year full exterior ceramic coating, single-step paint correction, Studio or qualifying mobile installation, five annual exterior maintenance visits, two Priority Exterior Visits and the VIP booking experience.
What is included with 8-Year Concierge?
The 8-Year package includes an 8-year full exterior ceramic coating, single-step paint correction, Studio or qualifying mobile installation, eight annual exterior maintenance visits, four Priority Exterior Visits and the VIP booking experience.
Are the annual visits free?
No. The future service is included because its cost is built into the Concierge package from the beginning. I prefer to describe that honestly rather than calling prepaid service free.
What happens during an annual maintenance visit?
The exterior receives professional maintenance, the ceramic coating is inspected and appropriate maintenance products or topper are applied to support coating performance.
What is a Priority Exterior Visit?
It is an additional exterior-service visit outside your normal annual maintenance schedule. It can be useful after a road trip, before an important event, before selling or trading the vehicle, or simply when you want professional exterior attention.
Can Priority Exterior Visits be used whenever I want?
They can be used during the active Concierge service term and are scheduled based on availability. Priority does not mean guaranteed same-day service.
Do Priority Exterior Visits include paint correction or repairs?
No. They are exterior maintenance and cleanup visits. Body repair, scratch repair and additional paint correction are separate services.
Is interior protection included?
No. Concierge is an exterior-care program. Interior protection can be added separately during the initial installation, but ongoing interior maintenance is not included.
Is Concierge cheaper than purchasing every service separately?
That depends on where the vehicle is located and the services that would otherwise be purchased over the term. Concierge is not presented as a universal discount package. Its primary value is the long-term service structure, convenience, VIP booking experience, and included annual and Priority Exterior Visits.
Do I have to choose Concierge Service to work with you?
No. Standard ceramic coating packages remain available. Concierge is simply another option for clients who want more of the future exterior care handled from the beginning.
Does ceramic coating still need normal washing with Concierge?
Yes. Concierge does not make ceramic coating maintenance-free. The vehicle still needs normal washing and care between professional visits.
Will ceramic coating prevent scratches, rock chips or all water spots?
No. Ceramic coating can improve gloss, chemical resistance and ease of maintenance, but it does not stop rock chips, prevent scratches or prevent every water spot.
READY TO SEE WHAT IT COSTS?

Five years or eight years. Either way, the plan is already made.

Start with the Concierge calculator. See your current price, compare the two service terms and decide whether having the long-term exterior care handled makes sense for you.
