If You're Investing Thousands of Dollars in Ceramic Coating, Shouldn't You Know Exactly What's Being Applied?
Shopping for a professional ceramic coating can be confusing. Every shop promises incredible gloss, amazing water beading, years of protection, and the "best" coating on the market.
But there's one simple question many vehicle owners never think to ask...
"What ceramic coating brand are you actually installing on my vehicle?"
It might sound like an obvious question, but surprisingly, many customers leave their vehicle at a shop without ever knowing the name of the coating being applied.
At Scott's Custom Auto Spa & Ceramic Coatings, we've always believed our clients deserve complete transparency. If you're investing in your vehicle, you should know exactly what product is protecting it.
Our clients don't have to wonder what's being installed on their vehicle.
We're proud to tell them exactly which ceramic coating they're receiving, why we selected it, and the training and certification required to install it properly.
Why Does the Ceramic Coating Brand Matter?
Would you buy a new set of tires without knowing the manufacturer?
Would you purchase motor oil if the bottle had no label?
Would you install brake pads without knowing who made them?
Probably not.
A professional ceramic coating should be no different.
Knowing the coating brand allows you to research the manufacturer, understand the chemistry behind the product, learn about warranty coverage, verify installer certification, and make an informed decision before investing in your vehicle.
We Believe Transparency Builds Trust
At Scott's Custom Auto Spa & Ceramic Coatings, we're proud to tell our customers exactly which ceramic coating systems we install.
We don't believe the coating should be a mystery.
Our clients deserve to know:
✔ Which ceramic coating is being installed.
✔ Who manufactures it.
✔ Whether the installer is manufacturer certified.
✔ What type of warranty is available.
✔ How the coating should be maintained.
✔ Whether the product has been professionally tested and supported.
We encourage every customer to research the products we use before making a decision.
An educated customer is our favourite customer.
Why We Chose GlossTech Ceramic Coatings
Over the years we've tested numerous ceramic coating systems while refining our paint correction and coating process.
Today, we're proud to offer GlossTech Professional Ceramic Coatings because we've seen their performance firsthand on customer vehicles throughout Eastern Ontario.
Our clients appreciate:
• Outstanding gloss and depth.
• Excellent hydrophobic performance.
• Easy maintenance.
• Long-lasting durability.
• Professional-only installation.
Most importantly...
We've seen these coatings perform year after year on vehicles that return to our shop for annual inspections and maintenance.
That long-term experience is worth far more than a marketing brochure.
Why We Chose Polysilazane SiC Ceramic Coatings Instead of Traditional SiO₂ Coatings
One of the questions we're asked is why Scott's Custom Auto Spa installs GlossTech ceramic coatings instead of many of the traditional ceramic coatings found online or at dealerships.
The answer comes down to the technology behind the coating.
Many ceramic coatings on today's market are primarily based on SiO₂ (silicon dioxide), sometimes blended with TiO₂ (titanium dioxide). These coatings can provide excellent gloss and water behaviour, but many leave behind a relatively thin protective layer.
GlossTech Professional Ceramic Coatings use an advanced Polysilazane Silicon Carbide (SiC) resin technology.
For us, that matters because our goal isn't simply to create water beading—it is to provide long-term paint protection for vehicles driven through real Ontario conditions.
Why We Prefer Polysilazane SiC Technology
✔ Higher film build than many traditional SiO₂ coatings
✔ Excellent chemical resistance against road salts, bug acids and bird droppings
✔ Outstanding gloss and colour depth
✔ Greater resistance to wash chemicals and environmental contamination
✔ Professional-only installation
✔ Designed for long-term durability when properly maintained
A ceramic coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it, which is why every coating we install begins with proper paint correction before a single drop of ceramic is applied.
A Ceramic Coating Is More Than the Bottle
Many people focus on the coating itself.
Professionally installed ceramic coatings are only one part of the process.
At Scott's Custom Auto Spa, we believe the real results come from combining:
Professional paint decontamination
Multi-stage paint correction
Proper panel preparation
Controlled installation conditions
Manufacturer-approved installation methods
A high-quality professional coating
The bottle is important.
The preparation is what allows that coating to perform as intended for years.
FEYNLAB Professional Ceramic Coatings
Scott's Custom Auto Spa & Ceramic Coatings is also proud to be a FEYNLAB Certified Installer (Tier 1 & Tier 2).
FEYNLAB has earned an outstanding reputation worldwide for professional ceramic coatings and innovative surface protection technologies.
Offering more than one professional coating system allows us to recommend the product that best fits each client's vehicle, expectations, and budget.
Every installation is backed by proper preparation, professional paint correction, and controlled installation procedures.
A Ceramic Coating Is Only As Good As What's Underneath It
This is something we say often because it's true.
A ceramic coating does not remove scratches.
It does not remove swirl marks.
It does not hide poor polishing.
A ceramic coating locks in whatever finish is underneath it.
That's why every ceramic coating installed at Scott's begins with proper paint correction before the coating bottle is ever opened.
Preparation is everything.
Questions Every Ceramic Coating Installer Should Be Happy to Answer
Before choosing a ceramic coating installer, consider asking:
Which ceramic coating brand do you install?
Are you certified by the manufacturer?
How much paint correction is included?
How long will my vehicle remain in your shop?
Is warranty registration included?
What maintenance do you recommend after installation?
Can I research the coating before making my decision?
A professional installer should be happy to answer every one of these questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Scott's Custom Auto Spa install GlossTech ceramic coatings?
After researching numerous professional ceramic coatings, we chose GlossTech because of its advanced polysilazane SiC technology, professional-only installation program, proven durability, and outstanding gloss. We believe it delivers the level of long-term protection our customers expect for Ontario driving conditions.
What is the difference between SiO₂ ceramic coatings and polysilazane SiC coatings?
Many ceramic coatings are based primarily on SiO₂ (silicon dioxide), while GlossTech uses advanced polysilazane silicon carbide (SiC) technology. Both can protect vehicle paint, but polysilazane SiC coatings are designed to provide greater film build, excellent chemical resistance, and long-lasting durability when professionally installed and properly maintained.
Does the ceramic coating brand really matter?
Yes. Professional ceramic coatings are not all created equal. The coating chemistry, manufacturer support, installer training, warranty program, and application process all contribute to the final result. We believe customers deserve to know exactly which professional coating is protecting their vehicle.
Why do you openly tell customers which ceramic coating you use?
We believe transparency builds trust. That's why we're proud to install GlossTech Professional Ceramic Coatings and openly discuss why we chose the brand. We want our customers to understand what is being applied to their vehicle and why.
Is paint correction more important than the ceramic coating itself?
They're equally important. A ceramic coating locks in the condition of the paint underneath it. If swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, or haze remain before installation, the coating will simply preserve those defects. That's why professional paint correction is an essential part of our process.
Can a ceramic coating remove scratches or swirl marks?
No. Ceramic coatings protect paint but do not remove defects. Swirl marks, oxidation, scratches, and water spot etching must be corrected before the coating is installed.
Why is installer certification important?
Professional ceramic coatings are designed to be installed according to strict manufacturer procedures. Certified installers receive product training and access to professional coating systems, helping ensure the coating performs as intended.
Do dealership ceramic coatings use the same products?
Not necessarily. Dealerships and independent detailers may use different coating brands, technologies, and installation methods. We encourage customers to ask what coating is being installed, who manufactures it, whether the installer is certified, and what preparation is included before the coating is applied.
How long will a professional ceramic coating last?
Longevity depends on the coating technology, installation quality, vehicle use, and ongoing maintenance. Regular washing and annual inspections help maximize the performance and lifespan of any professional ceramic coating.
Why did Scott's Custom Auto Spa choose GlossTech instead of other professional brands?
We selected GlossTech because it aligns with our philosophy of proper paint correction, professional installation, advanced coating chemistry, and long-term customer satisfaction. We use products we trust on our own vehicles and are confident recommending to our customers.
