Ceramic Coating in Elm Grove. Done Right.
Professional protection for your new vehicle, installed right in your qualifying garage.
I'm George, the owner and installer at Coatings by the Bay. With more than 1,000 vehicles coated, I specialize in ceramic coating for new vehicles. No high-volume production line. Just careful preparation and individual attention.
8-Year Full Exterior + Interior Ceramic Coating
A Specialist, Not a High-Volume Detail Shop.
From your first question to the final inspection, you're communicating directly with the person preparing and coating your vehicle.
Mobile Convenience
Your vehicle can stay at your Elm Grove property while I complete the installation in your qualifying heated, enclosed garage.
Preparation First
Professional cleaning, decontamination and preparation polishing come before the ceramic coating is applied.
Clear Expectations
I'll explain what ceramic coating does, what it doesn't do and how to properly maintain the finish afterward.
Paint Only or Full Exterior.
Both options receive the same careful preparation. The difference is which exterior surfaces receive ceramic coating.
Paint Only
For owners whose main priority is protecting painted exterior surfaces and making routine washing easier.
Full Exterior
For owners who want professional ceramic protection extended beyond the paint to other exterior surfaces.
Interior coating and additional paint correction are available separately. Annual maintenance and inspection are required to maintain applicable exterior workmanship coverage.
See the Work, Not Just the Promises.
Four real projects featuring newer luxury vehicles, 8-year coatings, additional paint correction and a genuine mobile installation. These are customers from throughout my service area, not claimed Elm Grove installations.
8-Year Full Exterior + Interior
This Lexus TX 350 received an 8-year coating across the Full Exterior, with separately selected interior ceramic protection.
Watch the Vehicle →8-Year Full Exterior Protection
This Audi RS3 received an 8-year ceramic coating on the paint, glass, wheels and exterior trim at my Appleton studio.
Watch the Vehicle →Paint Correction + 5-Year Full Exterior
This new Audi SQ5 received additional paint correction before a 5-year ceramic coating was installed across the Full Exterior.
Watch the Vehicle →Mobile Exterior + Interior Protection
Full Exterior and interior ceramic coating completed through mobile service in the Oshkosh area. A real example of the mobile installation process.

You Handle the Space. I Handle Everything Else.
You don't need a professional detailing setup at home. You need a suitable indoor workspace. I bring the professional equipment and coating products.
A Heated, Fully Enclosed Garage.
A typical residential garage can work, provided there is enough room around the vehicle and suitable indoor conditions.
All the Professional Equipment.
Your garage provides the workspace. I arrive with the tools and products needed for preparation and application.
Coating is always applied indoors. The initial wash may take place outside when weather permits. If your Elm Grove garage isn't suitable, my Appleton studio is available.
Full Mobile Details →Your Garage Should Look Like I Was Never There.
Other than your finished vehicle, you won't have a cleanup project afterward.
Ceramic coating is applied to the vehicle, not sprayed around your garage.
Water used during preparation is managed and cleaned up.
Used applicators, packaging and supplies leave with me.
You get the finished vehicle without additional work afterward.
Elm Grove Driving, I-94, Winter Roads and Everyday Driving.
A ceramic coating won't stop your vehicle from getting dirty. It can make routine washing easier and help protect against normal environmental contamination.
Routine highway contamination generally releases more easily during washing.
Additional chemical resistance helps with normal seasonal contamination.
Water beads and sheds, although coatings cannot prevent every water spot.
Properly maintained coated surfaces are generally easier to keep clean.
Know What Ceramic Coating Does. And What It Doesn't.
Professional protection is valuable without exaggerated promises.
Routine contamination is easier to remove.
Hydrophobic behavior on maintained surfaces.
Additional resistance to common contaminants.
Professional preparation and a glossy finish.
Impact protection requires a different product.
Contact and improper washing can still damage paint.
Mineral deposits can still form.
Proper maintenance remains necessary.
The Coating Is Only One Part of the Work.
The same careful preparation takes place whether I work in Elm Grove or at my Appleton studio.
Remove loose dirt and road film.
Remove bonded and iron contamination as needed.
Included buffer-applied preparation polishing.
Remove polishing oils and residue.
Install and inspect the selected coating.
