Keramik X
Keramik X Ceramic Coating
Keramik X is Autobahn's top ceramic coating, and it's the one we reach for when you want your paint looking its best for years. It bonds to your paint and forms a tough, glossy layer that protects against light marring, chemicals, oxidation, bird droppings, and everything else our Inland Empire sun and road grime can throw at it. Water and dirt bead up and slide right off, so washes go faster and your car stays cleaner between them. It also gives the paint a deep, mirror-like shine that makes the color pop. Every Keramik X install comes with a 6-year warranty.
Our Process and Aftercare
Every coating starts with a full wash and decontamination. We use an iron remover and a light clay bar to pull out the embedded grime a regular wash leaves behind. Then we do a one-step paint correction, which cleans up light swirls and preps the paint so the coating bonds tight. Once the coating is on, your car cures indoors with us until pickup. After you take it home, don't wash it for at least one week so the coating can fully set. After that, always wash with a pH-neutral soap. We also recommend an SiO2 spray after washes. It cuts down on static so dirt doesn't cling to the paint, and it adds a fresh layer on top of your ceramic coating so everything lasts longer.
Bring back your vehicle’s shine with professional paint correction and shield it with our high-quality ceramic coating for durable brilliance and a stunning finish!

Ceramic Coating Frequently asked questions
-
Ceramic coating bonds to your paint and adds a hard, glossy layer of protection. It guards against sun damage, oxidation, bird droppings, bug guts, road grime, and harsh chemicals. Water and dirt bead up and slide right off, so your car stays cleaner longer and washing is a lot easier. It also gives your paint a deep, wet-looking shine.

No. Keramik X is made to do its job with our standard install, and that's what the warranty covers. What matters most is the prep underneath. We decontaminate and paint correct before coating so it bonds properly. A great prep job with one coating beats extra layers on paint that wasn't prepped right.

It helps with light marring and the fine swirls that come from washing, but it won't stop rock chips or deep scratches. For that you want paint protection film (PPF), which is a thick, self-healing film that takes the hit instead of your paint. A lot of our customers put PPF on the front end, where most chips happen, and ceramic coat the rest of the car. You can also coat right over the PPF.

Keramik X comes with a 6-year warranty with no yearly checkup needed, But we provide a free annual checkup at our shop for your peace of mind. How long it lasts also depends on how you care for it. Wash it with pH-neutral soap, stay away from automatic car washes, and use an SiO2 spray between washes to help it last.

We don't recommend it, and Autobahn says to avoid them too. The brushes in tunnel washes can leave swirls and scratches, and many automatic washes use harsh soaps that wear your coating down faster. Hand washing with a pH-neutral soap is the best way to keep your coating looking good and lasting. If you're ever stuck and need a quick wash, a touchless wash is safer than a brush wash, but make it the exception, as the soaps are still very harsh. Either way, wait at least one week after your coating is applied before any wash.
