Multi-stage prep checklists
Wash → clay → paint correction → coating. Track every step with photos. Customer signs off on paint condition before coating.
Coating warranty tracking
Register installs of any coating brand (e.g. Gtechniq, Ceramic Pro, Modesta, Feynlab). Auto-generate warranty certificates with the vehicle, install date, and warranty period.
Recurring maintenance
Auto-schedule annual inspections and maintenance washes. Keep customers in the warranty program for years.
Before/after documentation
Photograph swirl marks, scratches, paint measurements. Show the transformation — customers love sharing these.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a ceramic coating shop?
SalesThumb is built for ceramic coating shops: configurable durability tiers you set up once (multi-year or lifetime coverage, your call), quotable paint-correction add-ons, warranty registration with branded certificates, and multi-day cure scheduling with stage checklists staff can check at a glance.
Does it handle the 1-year-to-lifetime coating tiers?
Yes — SalesThumb's durability tiers are first-class and fully yours to configure (multi-year or lifetime, whatever coverage levels you actually sell), with per-vehicle pricing so customers choose how long it lasts and you protect margin on larger vehicles.
Can it bundle paint correction with the coating?
Yes — in SalesThumb, paint correction is a quotable add-on on every estimate, so you never coat over swirled paint without charging for the prep that makes the coating worth it.
Does it register ceramic coating warranties?
Yes — a staff member registers the completed install in one click and SalesThumb generates a branded warranty certificate, then handles claims and transfers in one place. A registered, multi-year warranty is what makes the lifetime tier sell itself.
Can customers track a multi-day ceramic coating job?
Yes — SalesThumb's cure time and stage checklists give staff a clear look at where every job stands, so you can answer “is it ready yet?” in one look instead of digging through texts. Share a live tracking link with the customer any time.
