Ceramic Coating in Sturgeon Bay. Without Leaving Home.
Professional ceramic coating for your new vehicle, installed in your qualifying heated, fully enclosed garage.
I'm George, the owner and installer at Coatings by the Bay. With more than 1,000 vehicles coated, I've built my business around one specialty: professional ceramic coating.
Whether you live in Door County year-round or keep a vehicle at a seasonal property, I can bring the installation process to a qualifying garage. My private Appleton studio is also available.

Professional Protection. Without Another Trip Out of Door County.
You shouldn't have to settle for a rushed installation or a limited menu of protection simply because the vehicle is kept in Sturgeon Bay.
Your Vehicle Stays at Home
I travel to your qualifying property and complete the work in your garage. You don't need to arrange transportation back from another shop.
The Preparation Comes First
Thorough washing, decontamination, machine polishing and surface preparation are completed before the ceramic coating is applied.
One Experienced Installer
You'll communicate directly with me. I personally handle your vehicle from preparation through the final inspection.
Paint Only or Full Exterior.
Both receive the same careful preparation. The difference is how many exterior surfaces receive ceramic coating.
Paint Only
Professional ceramic coating on your vehicle's painted exterior surfaces for better gloss, chemical resistance and easier routine washing.
Full Exterior
Extend the protection beyond paint to other exterior surfaces that benefit from a professional ceramic coating.
Interior ceramic coating and additional paint correction can be quoted separately. Upgrading to the 8-year exterior coating costs $300. Tires and rubber are excluded. Annual maintenance inspections are required for warranty coverage and are booked separately.
See Real Vehicles I've Coated. Not Stock Photography.
Here are three examples of my customer work. They show real ceramic coating installations completed elsewhere in Wisconsin, not vehicles claimed to have been coated in Door County.

The finished appearance is important, but so are preparation, communication and the experience of working with the person protecting your vehicle.
Customer feedback from across the Coatings by the Bay service area.
You Provide the Garage. I Bring the Professional Setup.
The installation process is the same as my Appleton studio process. The difference is the location. For mobile service, the customer provides a suitable indoor workspace.
A Heated, Fully Enclosed Garage.
Your garage can be at a primary residence or a seasonal property. It must still provide the right indoor conditions and sufficient working space.
Professional Tools, Preparation and Coating Materials.
You don't have to buy equipment or prepare a detailing workspace. I bring the materials required for the service.
The ceramic coating is always applied indoors. The initial wash may take place outside when weather permits. Even at a seasonal property, a heated and fully enclosed garage is required.
Full Mobile Details →Your Garage Won't Become a Cleanup Project.
I respect your workspace and make the installation as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
Ceramic coating is applied directly to the vehicle, not sprayed around your garage.
Wash water is managed, and the work area is cleaned afterward.
Used towels, applicators, packaging and equipment leave with me.
Your workspace is left clean when the installation is complete.
Winter Salt, Highway Miles and Seasonal Vehicle Care.
Whether your vehicle is driven throughout the year or spends part of its life at a Door County property, the real benefits of ceramic coating are easier cleaning and added resistance to everyday contamination.
Added chemical resistance helps with routine winter contamination.
Ordinary driving buildup is generally easier to remove when washing.
Water beads and sheds from clean coated surfaces, although spotting remains possible.
A properly maintained coating makes normal exterior cleaning simpler throughout ownership.
Ceramic Coating Is Useful. It Isn't Invincible.
I want you to understand the product before making the investment. It's designed to help with cleaning, gloss and environmental resistance, not replace physical impact protection.
Common contamination is generally easier to remove.
Hydrophobic properties improve water behavior.
Added resistance to everyday environmental exposure.
Professional prep and a glossy maintained finish.
A coating is not designed to absorb debris impacts.
Physical contact and improper washing can still damage paint.
Mineral deposits and environmental etching remain possible.
Correct routine maintenance remains essential.
The Ceramic Coating Is the Final Part of the Installation.
The necessary preparation doesn't change just because I'm working in a mobile garage instead of my studio.
Remove loose dirt and road film.
Remove bonded and iron contamination.
Machine-polish the painted surfaces.
Remove polishing oils and residue.
Apply the coating and check the result.
Every standard exterior package includes a preparation polish. If your vehicle has scratches, swirl marks or other defects that would benefit from additional correction, I'll explain the options and quote that work separately.
Prefer the Studio? You Can Bring Your Vehicle to Appleton.
A suitable mobile workspace isn't available at every property. If you'd rather bring your vehicle to me, my private Appleton / Grand Chute studio is available.
You'll receive the same protection choices and individual attention in a dedicated indoor workspace.

Personal attention throughout the appointment.
Paint Only or Full Exterior, 5-year or 8-year.
No walk-ins or in-person sales consultations.
