Coating brands named by Raleigh shops
Read from each shop's own website. Naming a brand is a claim by the shop, not a confirmation from the manufacturer.
Why ceramic coating quotes in Raleigh differ
Durability is most of the spread. A one-year sealant and a lifetime install are sold under the same two words.
| Durability | Typical range | Median | Published by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1 year | $350–$1,199 | $499 | 12 shops |
| 1 year | $449–$850 | $600 | 95 shops |
| 2 year | $599–$963 | $750 | 95 shops |
| 3–4 year | $699–$1,200 | $949 | 181 shops |
| 5–7 year | $850–$1,500 | $1,200 | 344 shops |
| 8+ year | $900–$1,800 | $1,450 | 113 shops |
| Lifetime | $1,000–$2,000 | $1,499 | 65 shops |
National figures: no single city has enough shops stating a durability to band it locally. Ask any Raleigh shop which row their quote sits in.
