Default Ceramic coating

Does anyone have the name (and address, tel#) of any company in Southeast Massachusetts that can do ceramic coating? I'm looking for someone who will do an excellent job, I've heard of too many nightmare jobs out there.

I need someone close to Brockton, MA.

Thank you,
Scot Kudcey

Take the drive to Windsor CT (near Bradley airport) and go to CT Ceramic coatings. They are absolutely worth the drive and money. The cost isn't in the ceramic coating but in the paint correction.

Nick did 3 of my cars, including my Grand Sport, a friends two C8's (one stingray and his e Ray) and he just did may parents Genesis GV80.

I am not sure if there are any installers for Icon Rocklear in your area, but here is link to their website, they say it is better than Ceramic, I stopped in at the local installer in Daytona Beach back in April, saw the product on a boat they just finished and I was impressed. It is not cheap, come with a 15 year warranty, for a full detail inside and out and application of Icon Rocklear to the out side, ceramic coat the wheels and the interior for my 2019 1LT was quoted at $2500.00. I am leaning towards doing it, but have to wait until I fully retire as the car will be tied up for 2 to 3 days while the process is being done, so I may not get to do it until July or August.

$ 3,250. in Albany, NY. 2018. Great job. "The Works" Corey Ellis is the man. BUT after my 3 "Scheduled inspections/updates @ $ 175.+/-each", and 4 years later I can't really tell it has lasted.
The original was awesome, water just ran off like it was running away from the paint, is the best way I can describe it, but who can do $ 3,250. up front? and hope it will last even 3 years?

Hope you can find a good vendor for doing the ceramic coating. You may want to ask your questions in the Northeast Regional section.

Just had our 1990 coated with Icon Rocklear. The results are fantastic! The vehicle will be on display at the National Corvette Museum from June 20th through October. If you're there, check it out to see what you think.
Ours was done @ Mojo Coatings in Cookeville, TN. I drove three hours to visit them and learn about the product and process. I only had the black paint addressed so, no interior and wheel/tire cleaning. The total price was $1,800 and they had the car for three days. The car is extremely low mileage and no washing was required. There was significant acid etching in the paint due to years of neglect.
They are very nice people and communication was excellent as they kept me informed throughout the process. I'm confident they take their work seriously.
I'm not endorsing the product; just describing my experience. I only learned of Icon Rocklear in the last month. A Corvette friend, in FL, mentioned it during a conversation.

Looks great, Icon Rockclear is my next project for my 2019, just waiting until I retire again so I can give the car up for 3 or so days, there is a dealer about 25 mile north of me in South Daytona.
