The Southern Luxe Standard
Wax wipes off. This bonds in.
Ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat and hardens into a sacrificial, hydrophobic layer. Rain beads, bugs wipe off, bird droppings don't etch as fast, and your paint gets a deep, wet-looking gloss that wax can't touch. We're an authorized Owners Pride installer — every coating we apply comes with a registered, transferable warranty backed by the manufacturer, and every tier begins with a proper 1-step paint correction so the finish you see is the finish that gets sealed in.

The process
Two days. Six steps. Built to last.
A coating is only as good as the prep underneath it. Here's exactly what your car goes through from drop-off to pickup — every install, every time.
STEP 02
Day 1 · midday
Clay bar + iron & fallout removal
Iron remover dissolves embedded brake dust, then a clay bar lifts industrial fallout, tree sap, and whatever's left bonded to the clear coat.
STEP 03
Day 1 · afternoon
1-step paint correction
Every install includes a one-step machine polish that removes 60%+ of light scratches, swirls, and wash marks — so the coating bonds to flawless paint, not yesterday's defects.
STEP 04
Day 1 · evening
Alcohol prep wipe
Every panel wiped down with IPA to strip polishing oils and silicones. The coating sees clean clear coat — nothing else.
STEP 05
Day 2 · morning
Coating application
Owners Pride coating applied panel-by-panel under controlled lighting, leveled to a flawless mirror finish before it flashes.
STEP 06
Day 2 · overnight
Initial cure in the booth
12+ hours indoors at controlled temperature and humidity. The coating sets fully before the car ever sees daylight, dust, or rain.

Why Owners Pride
SiC chemistry. No annual fees.
Most ceramic coatings on the market — including XPEL Fusion Plus, System X, and Ceramic Pro — are SiO₂ (silica) based and require paid annual inspections to keep their warranty active. Owners Pride uses next-generation silicon carbide and writes a warranty that's actually yours.

CARFAX
Registered to your VIN
Every install logs to CARFAX — automatically.
When the next owner pulls a vehicle history report, they see your professionally installed ceramic coating as a documented service record. It's a small line item on paper that meaningfully protects resale value — and it's included on every Owners Pride install at no extra charge.
Authorized installer
Southern Luxe is a registered Owners Pride Pro installer. Warranties are filed directly with the manufacturer at install — tied to your VIN, not just to us.
The Studio Standard
What every ceramic coating includes.
The details that separate a real ceramic coating from a spray-on sealant — built into every package we offer.
1-Step Correction Included
Every ceramic tier starts with a machine paint correction — 60%+ of swirls, wash marks, and water spots gone before a single drop of coating goes down. A coating over defects locks them in forever; we don't cut that corner.
VIN-Registered OP Warranty
Your Owners Pride warranty is filed to your VIN on pickup day — not a shop receipt. Backed by the manufacturer, transferable to the next owner, and valid at any authorized OP installer nationwide.
Climate-Controlled 12-Hour Cure
Every coating finishes with an overnight indoor cure in our booth at controlled temperature and humidity. That cure window is the difference between a coating that lasts the full warranty and one that fails at year two.
