1 Year Ceramic Coating Winnipeg – Affordable Protection That Lasts
At Top Cars Detailing, we offer premium 1 year ceramic coating in Winnipeg—a perfect entry-level solution for car owners who want real paint protection without committing to a long-term or high-cost coating. Whether you’re looking to enhance shine, protect your investment during winter, or simply cut down on washing time, our 1-year formula delivers solid performance, hydrophobic behavior, and easy maintenance.
This is not a spray wax. Our 1-year ceramic coating is a professional-grade product applied through a detailed multi-step process to ensure proper bonding and results that outshine any store-bought sealant or wax.
What Is a 1-Year Ceramic Coating?
A 1-year ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s paint, trim, and even wheels. Once cured, it creates a slick, semi-permanent barrier that repels water, dust, dirt, UV rays, and other contaminants. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, which wear off in weeks or months, a ceramic coating chemically bonds with your car’s surface and offers extended protection—typically lasting up to 12 months with proper care.
This service is ideal for those who:
Want to try ceramic protection without a long-term commitment
Lease their vehicles and want protection without overspending
Are preparing their cars for winter or summer road trips
Want a protective base layer before applying a longer-term coating later
What’s Included in Our 1-Year Coating Package
Our 1 year ceramic coating package in Winnipeg includes more than just an application. It’s a thorough prep-and-protect service designed to ensure your paintwork is clean, smooth, and ready to bond with the coating.
Here’s what’s included:
✅ Full Exterior Decontamination
We begin with a hand wash, iron remover, and clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants like brake dust, sap, and industrial fallout.
✅ Single-Step Paint Enhancement (Optional Add-On)
If your paint is dull or has light swirl marks, we recommend a single-step polish to restore gloss and prep the surface for bonding.
✅ Ceramic Coating Application
We apply a high-quality 1-year ceramic coating evenly to your vehicle’s painted surfaces. This includes:
Body panels
Clear coat
Painted mirrors
Headlights and taillights
Front and rear bumpers
Trim and wheels can also be coated as add-ons.
✅ Final Buff & Cure
The coating is leveled and left to cure for a slick, mirror-like finish. We recommend a 24-hour dry window and no washing for 5–7 days afterward.

Ceramic Coating vs Wax – Why It’s Worth It

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the 1-year ceramic coating actually last?
With proper maintenance (hand washes, no harsh detergents), the coating can last 12+ months. Harsh weather and frequent automatic washes may reduce longevity.
Q: Can I apply wax over this coating?
You can, but it’s not needed. The coating itself delivers deep gloss and hydrophobic behavior without any wax.
Q: Will this coating fill scratches or swirls?
No. We recommend adding a paint enhancement polish prior to application for best visual results.
Q: Can it be removed?
Yes. Unlike 5–7 year coatings, the 1-year ceramic coating is easier to remove or reapply when needed.
Q: Can I upgrade later to a longer-term coating?
Absolutely. Our 1-year option can act as a base layer and can be stripped and replaced by a 3-year or 5-year coating down the line.
