PROTECTION THAT LASTS
Ceramic coatings aren’t hype — they’re science. A true ceramic bonds to your paint on a molecular level, creating a hardened layer that shrugs off UV rays, road grime, and harsh weather. The result? A deep, glossy finish that’s slick to the touch and far easier to keep clean. Unlike wax or sealants that fade in weeks, a professional ceramic lasts for years when applied correctly. But it only works if the surface underneath is perfect — which is why our ceramic process is a multi-day grind of prep, correction, and precision before the coating ever touches your paint.
1. DECON WASH
Paint safe chemicals and scrubbing mitts Strip dirt, fallout, wax, and grime. it's all gotta go.
We strip dirt, fallout, waxes, and road grime to reveal a bare surface. Nothing bonds to paint unless it’s clean first.
2. PAINT CORRECTION
Machines and compounds remove
swirling, scratches and other imperfections.
This is the longest, most labor-intensive phase. Machines run for hours, panel by panel, to level the surface. You choose the level of correction:
3. SURFACE PREP
paint safe solvents used to prepare surface to create best bond with the ceramic coating.
After correction, we strip all polishing oils with a solvent wipe so ceramic bonds directly to the paint. Honor the process for a perfect product.
4. APPLY CERAMIC
ceramic Coating PRECISELY APPLIED BY HAND SECTION BY SECTION, LEVELED AND WIPED SMOOTH for a flawless finish.
We apply professional-grade ceramic by hand, section by section. Each area has to be leveled, flashed, and cured properly to avoid streaks and high spots.
5. CURE & INSPECT
LEFT TO CURE FOR A MINIMUM 12 HOURS, INSPECTED FOR STREAKING OR MISSED AREAS. nothing overlooked.
Ceramic needs time to harden. Once cured, we inspect every panel, edge, and corner to make sure the coating is perfect.
6. FINAL DETAILS
TIRES DRESSED, TRIM RESTORED, GLASS CLEANED, ALL DETAILS ADDRESSed FOR A TRULY SAVAGE KIND OF CLEAN.
The last touch is about refinement — making sure every inch of your van or RV looks dialed in before it leaves our shop.
WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?
Paint correction is the process of cutting and polishing your paint to remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation, bringing back depth and clarity. It isn’t a quick buff — it’s a methodical, panel-by-panel approach that levels imperfections and revives tired paint.
A single-stage correction is a one-pass polish that enhances gloss and cleans up light swirls, leaving the surface brighter and smoother. It’s best for rigs that already look good but need that extra pop before protection.
A two-stage correction goes further. First we cut with a more aggressive pad and compound to remove heavier swirls and deeper scratches, then we refine with a polish to restore clarity. The result is up to 85–90% defect removal and a finish that looks nearly new.
Whether single-stage or two-stage, proper paint correction sets the foundation for long-term protection like ceramic coating — because whatever we leave behind will be locked under that coating

The Savage Difference: Ceramic isn’t just for paint — every surface on your van or RV takes abuse, and we coat them all. From glass to solar to trim and fabrics, we pay attention to every detail so your whole rig gets protected, not just the shiny panels.
WHAT WE PROTECT:
PAINT & GELCOAT
Deepens gloss, locks in rich color, and builds a long-lasting shield against UV, oxidation, and harsh road grime.
WHAT WE COAT:
GLASS
Hydrophobic clarity that sheds rain, bug guts, and road film, keeping visibility sharp and wipers gliding smooth.
WHEELS
Repels brake dust, mud, and road salt so your wheels stay clean longer and wash downs are quick and painless.
UPHOLSTERY
Adds an invisible barrier against spills and stains on seats, dinettes, and mattresses — perfect for full-timers, families, and anyone who snacks on the road.
TRIM & PLASTICS
Restores that factory-black look, blocks UV fade, and keeps plastics from chalking or drying out without the greasy shine.
SOLAR PANELS
Coating reduces buildup and grime so panels stay cleaner, grab more light, and keep your battery system charging at full power.
THE PAYOFF (AND THE TRUTH)
Here’s the straight story: your van or RV is still going to get dirty. Ceramic doesn’t make it invisible to bugs, mud, or road grime — it just makes all that junk a hell of a lot easier to clean off. The coating smooths the surface and gives it less energy for things to bond to, so dirt releases faster, washes take less time, and your ride stays looking good with less work.
The real win is durability. Paint, gel coat, and glass can be protected for years in a single application. Trim, plastics, wheels, and fabrics take more abuse, so we recommend checking them during your yearly maintenance appointment — sometimes they’ll need a refresh. Keeping your surfaces clean and sticking to a maintenance routine is the best way to get the full life out of your coating.
And here’s the kicker: not all products play nice with ceramic. Harsh soaps, greasy dressings, or cheap sprays can break it down faster. That’s why we recommend Adams — their shampoos, detail sprays, and graphene products are formulated to work together and extend the life of your coating. It’s what we use in the shop, and it’s what we set you up with when you roll out. Want a perfect maintenance package?
