A year and a half of slick, for the price of a detail add-on
Technicians Choice G-MAX Pro goes on over a freshly decontaminated, clay-barred finish and holds for 12 to 18 months — against four to eight weeks from a hand wax. Add it to any exterior or full detail, on your driveway, from $78.

What the water tells you
You cannot see a coating. What you can see is how water behaves on it — and that is the same test you will use at home a year from now to decide whether it is time for another layer.
Before — water lies flat and streaks
After — tight beads, dry paint between them
Where it sits
Between a wax and a coating
There are three levels of paint protection and they are not competing with each other. They are different amounts of money for different lengths of time.
Hand wax

The honest way to choose. Work out how long you are keeping the vehicle. Under three years, Super Protection is the sensible money and you will never need the coating. Over five, paying once for Borograph costs less than reapplying a sealant four or five times — and it comes with a warranty, which this does not.
Every exterior surface
What gets coated
Paint
Every painted panel, hand-applied and levelled off section by section. Beading, gloss and a surface that releases dirt instead of holding it.
Glass
Windshield, side glass and rear glass. Rain clears faster at speed and overnight dew beads instead of filming over.
Wheels & barrels
Faces and as far into the barrels as we can reach. Brake dust rinses off instead of baking on, which is most of the reason wheels look old.
Exterior trim
Plastic and rubber trim, mirror caps and door handles. Not a dressing — it dries clean and does not streak down the paint in the next rain.
What it will not do. It is a sealant, not armour. It will not stop rock chips, it will not stop a scratch, and it will not undo etched water spots already in your clear coat. Anything that needs correcting gets corrected first, or it gets sealed in.
Pricing & trust
What Super Protection costs
Prices shown are card prices. Pay by cash or check and the lower price applies — shown in green beside every price on this page. No fee is ever added at checkout; the price you see is the price you pay.
This is an add-on price. It goes on top of the detail it rides with, because the detail is what decontaminates and clay bars the paint so the coating can bond.

These reviews are from Zippy Klean’s Hawaii customers — same owner, same crew standard, now in San Diego.
Another great detail from Zippy. Had both my vehicles done. Came a little early and Skyler took care of business. Highly recommend. Try the super infused. Good stuff.
I had my truck ceramic coated with Zippy Klean they did a great job. I would definitely recommend Steve and his team. They got me on in short notice and my truck looks awesome! Thanks again Steve

Straight answers
Super Protection questions
How much does Ceramic Infused Super Protection cost in San Diego?
Ceramic Infused Super Protection is from $78 added to any exterior or full detail on a car, truck, SUV or van, and $10.35 per linear foot on RVs, trailers and campers — or $75 and $10 per foot if you pay cash or by check.
The price moves with the size of the vehicle and is confirmed before we start. A sedan sits at the bottom of that range; a long-wheelbase van or a large SUV sits above it.
It is an add-on price, not a standalone one. The detail underneath it is what makes it bond, so the figure above is on top of the deluxe detail or the exterior detail it goes with.
How long does Ceramic Infused Super Protection last?
Ceramic Infused Super Protection lasts 12 to 18 months in San Diego conditions — far longer than the four to eight weeks you get from a hand wax, and far shorter than the permanent coatings.
The spread between 12 and 18 months is mostly about where the vehicle sleeps. A car in a garage, washed properly and kept off automated brush washes, holds the top of that range. A car parked outside under a tree near the coast, washed at a gas station tunnel, lands at the bottom.
When it does wear out, nothing peels or flakes. The water stops beading the way it did and the paint starts feeling slightly grabby to a clean hand instead of slick. That is the signal to put another layer on.
What is the difference between this and Stealth Diamond Borograph?
Ceramic Infused Super Protection is a sealant that wears off and gets reapplied every year or so, while Stealth Diamond Borograph is a permanent coating with 10+ years of protection and a lifetime warranty — a different product class, not a weaker version of the same thing.
Super Protection carries no warranty. It is a consumable: you buy it, it works for a year or more, and then you buy it again. Borograph is a one-time installation that is registered to your VIN with CARFAX® and backed for as long as you own the vehicle under its care terms.
Which one is right depends on how long you are keeping the vehicle. On a lease you are handing back in two years, Super Protection is the sensible money. On a truck you intend to own for a decade, paying once for Borograph costs less than reapplying a sealant eight times.
Why does it require a decontamination and clay bar?
Ceramic Infused Super Protection needs a decontaminated, clay-barred surface because it bonds to bare paint — anything still embedded in the clear coat sits under the coating permanently and stops it keying properly.
Brake dust, rail dust, tar and industrial fallout are not sitting on your paint, they are lodged in it. A wash will not lift them. If they are still there when the coating goes down, you have sealed them in and the coating has nothing clean to grip.
This is why it is sold as an add-on to a detail rather than to a wash. Both our exterior detail and our full detail already include the clay bar step, so the prerequisite is covered by the service it rides on. On a vehicle needing more than a clay pull — etched water spots or heavy iron fallout — that work is quoted separately and done first.
Can it go on a vehicle that already has a ceramic coating?
Yes — that is exactly what the annual ceramic refresh is. A layer of Ceramic Infused Super Protection goes over an existing Borograph or Liquid PPF installation to top up the areas that have taken the most abuse, and it is priced the same as a standalone application.
Vehicles on our monthly maintenance program get this as part of the annual inspection that keeps the coating warranty live. The inspection includes an exterior detail and the ceramic refresh together.
It does not replace the coating underneath and it is not supposed to. The permanent coating is still doing the structural work; the refresh restores the slickness and beading on the hood, the roof and the leading edges, which are the panels that see the most sun and the most road.
What product do you use?
We use Technicians Choice G-MAX Pro, a SiO2 ceramic-infused protectant applied by hand to decontaminated paint, glass, wheels and exterior trim.
It is applied panel by panel and levelled off, not sprayed on and left. On a full-size vehicle that is around an hour of work on top of the detail, which is why it is priced as a service rather than as a product.
Glass and wheels get it too, at no extra charge, because they are the surfaces where a slick finish is most obvious day to day — rain clears off the windshield faster and brake dust rinses off the wheels instead of baking on.
