Ceramic Coating in Chattanooga That Goes Beyond a Shine.
Real, manufacturer-backed protection — not dealer sealant. Gloss that lasts years, paint shielded from the elements, and washing made effortless.
Long-Term Ceramic Coating Protection in Chattanooga, TN
Ceramic coating adds a durable protective layer that enhances gloss, resists contaminants, and makes routine cleaning easier — while helping protect your vehicle's paint from daily exposure. At Big Dog Detail in Chattanooga, every coating is applied by a certified Nxtzen Preferred Professional Detail Shop, one of only 18 in the country.
Protection you can see and feel
- — Deep, glass-like gloss that lasts years, not months
- — Hydrophobic surface — water and grime bead and roll off
- — Shields against UV rays, oxidation, and chemical etching
- — Dramatically easier washing and maintenance
- — Applied by a certified Nxtzen Preferred Professional Detail Shop
Every Coating Includes Paint Correction
A coating is only as good as the surface underneath it. That's why real prep and a paint correction are built into every Big Dog coating — never bolted on as a surprise.
Hand Wash
A careful, contact hand wash — no automated brushes near your paint.
Iron Decontamination
Chemical treatment that dissolves embedded brake dust and industrial fallout.
Clay Bar Treatment
Pulls bonded contaminants out of the clear coat for a perfectly smooth surface.
Single-Stage Paint Correction
Polishing to remove swirls and light defects — included in your price, not extra.
Prep Solvent Wipe-Down
Strips all polishing oils and residue so the coating bonds directly to bare paint.
Coating Application
The ceramic coating is laid down by hand and cured for a lasting, even finish.
No hidden polishing fees — in writing.
Many shops quote a coating price that quietly leaves out paint correction, then add it to your bill later. We don't. A single-stage paint correction is included in every coating we install. A single stage won't erase every deep scratch — and if more aggressive correction would get you a better result, we'll call you first with the options and the cost. Additional polishing is never added to your bill without your written approval.

Reviews
Wayne and Big Dog Detail recently ceramic coated my two year old F150 and cleaned the engine bay. He spent a lot of time with me answering my inquiries while extending exemplary professional courtesies with detailed assessments of the services I decided upon. During the ceramic coating process, he also called and provided excellent communication regarding progress and other beneficial information. Their finished product is better than "off the assembly line and showroom finish perfection"! Wayne's post-service follow up, ceramic care package, and detailed information on how to maintain the luster, shine and protection of my new coating was impeccable customer service. Big Dog's dedication to professionalism is a benchmark of business excellence. Highly recommend!
Wayne was very easy to work with and the ceramic coating was immaculate! Will be getting my detailing done with Big Dog as well — and they provide mobile service.
Brittani did a really fantastic job, again. Always does. Professional. Prompt. I will use them again.
Great company to do business with! Professional service, best in town!
