Sunscreen for the inside of your car

The same San Diego sun that kills clear coat is cooking your dash and fading your seats every day the car sits in a lot — and unlike paint, an interior cannot be polished back. System X Interior Ceramic blocks it, and makes spills wipe off instead of soak in.

Before and after

A faded dash and a pale, dried-out seat are what a few San Diego summers do to an unprotected interior. Both are permanent once they happen.

Before — sun-faded dash and worn seat
Before — UV fade, cracking, dried leather
After — cleaned, conditioned and coated
After — System X Interior Ceramic

What gets coated

Seats, door and side panels, dash, console, carpet, floor mats, headliner, trim and interior glass. The product is matched to the surface — fabric gets a penetrating repellent, leather and vinyl get a surface coating.

Not the touchscreen. Coating a capacitive screen can interfere with touch response and leave a haze on an anti-glare factory finish, so we clean it and leave it as the manufacturer finished it.

  • UV block on every surface — stops the fade, cracking and chalking that turns a dash grey and a door panel brittle
  • Stains sit on top — coffee, sunscreen, dog slobber, kid spills. Wipe it off rather than scrub it out
  • Body sunscreen and skin oils — the things that actually ruin a steering wheel and an armrest, blocked at the surface
  • Leather stays supple — no drying, no cracked bolsters
  • Dry matte finish — a coating, not a dressing. No greasy shine, nothing that transfers onto clothing
  • Cleans in a fraction of the time — a wipe-down, not a detail

These reviews are from Zippy Klean’s Hawaii customers — same owner, same crew standard, now in San Diego.

Rodaius GermanJune 2022

Above and beyond my expectations. My vehicle was in rough shape in the interior and they managed to restore to like new conditions like the day I bought it. Communicated effectively and very transparent. Will use again and highly recommend.

Frances ChipserApril 2025

We are so pleased with the job That Skylar at Zippy Klean did on our car. It was covered in tons of dog hair inside, we thought it would never come clean. He came to our house and worked for hours vacuuming and cleaning the interior and the exterior. It was sparkling inside and out.

Suzanne PattersonMay 2025

Zippy Klean was recommended by the dealer in Honolulu for my new 2025 Porsche. I was VERY impressed by the rep who detailed the car at my house. He was extremely knowledgeable and you can't beat the convenience! They're my "go-to guys" now!

Interior ceramic questions

How much does interior ceramic coating cost in San Diego?

Interior ceramic coating is $413 for a sedan, coupe or truck, $517 for a crossover or small SUV, and $620 for a van or large SUV — or $227, $284 and $341 when booked with a full exterior ceramic package during the New San Diego Rollout.

Every interior ceramic package includes a deluxe interior detail, which is a $156 service on its own. The cabin has to be properly cleaned before anything is sealed, so it is not an upsell — it is a necessary step we do not charge separately for.

Note the size classes here are not the same as the exterior ones. A pickup is priced in the first column for interior work because the cab is small, while the same truck is in the top column for exterior work because the body is large.

What does interior ceramic coating actually protect against?

Interior ceramic blocks UV fade, stops stains from soaking in, and resists the body sunscreen and skin oils that break down a steering wheel and armrest faster than anything else in the cabin.

The UV part matters most in San Diego. The same sun that kills clear coat is cooking your dash and fading your seats every day the car sits in a lot, and unlike paint, an interior cannot be polished back — once a dash has cracked or a seat has gone pale, the only fix is replacement.

The stain part is what people notice day to day: coffee, sunscreen, dog slobber and kid spills sit on top of the coating instead of soaking into the fibre, so you wipe them off rather than scrub them out.

Why do you not coat the touchscreen?

We do not coat touchscreens because the coating can interfere with capacitive touch response and leave an uneven haze on an anti-glare factory finish.

Everything around it is coated — the dash, the console surround, the trim and the vents. The screen itself is cleaned and left as the manufacturer finished it. Any shop that tells you they coat the screen is either using something different or has not thought about it.

Does interior ceramic work on cloth seats as well as leather?

Yes. Interior ceramic is applied to leather, vinyl, Alcantara, cloth and carpet — the product is matched to the surface, so fabric gets a penetrating repellent while leather and vinyl get a surface coating.

On cloth and carpet the effect is the one people recognise from outdoor gear: liquid beads up and sits on the surface long enough to be blotted away before it reaches the foam underneath. On leather it is a hard protective layer that takes the wear instead of the hide.

Will it make my leather look shiny or feel greasy?

No. Interior ceramic cures to a dry, matte factory-look finish — it is a coating, not a dressing, so there is no greasy film, no gloss and nothing that transfers onto clothing.

This is the main objection we hear, and it comes from experience with silicone-based interior dressings that leave a slick shine and attract dust. Those sit on the surface and wipe off. This bonds to it and stays dry to the touch.

How long does interior ceramic coating last?

Interior ceramic lasts several years on low-contact surfaces such as the dash, headliner and door panels, and wears faster on high-contact points like the driver’s seat bolster, steering wheel and armrest.

That is physics rather than product quality — the places you touch every day are the places any coating wears first. Customers on our maintenance program get those contact points refreshed as part of the annual service.

The interior coating is independent of the exterior one, so it can be booked on its own at any time, before or after an exterior package.
