Built for ceramic coating workflows
Not a generic auto-shop tool with a ceramic mode — purpose-built for the way ceramic coating shops work.
1yr / 3yr / 5yr / 10yr / lifetime — tier matrix with included services + recoat schedule auto-applied to the quote.
Decon → clay → paint correction → IPA wipe → coat. Checklist signed off step-by-step. Audit trail per install.
Before / paint-correction / coated photos per panel. Customer sees the work, not just the bill.
Staff registers the warranty with coverage tier, install date, and recoat dates, then sends a branded PDF certificate by email with a public verification link — customers file claims from that same page.
Auto-schedule recoat appointments by tier (e.g. 3yr coating → reminder at month 30). Drives repeat revenue.
Day-1, day-7, month-1 aftercare SMS sequence built in. Sets the customer up to maintain the coating right.
California state context
Film laws: California is one of the strictest states for film tint: 70% VLT minimum on front side windows, any darkness on rear sides + back glass. Front windshield strip allowed above AS-1 line. Aftermarket shops typically pivot from tint to ceramic + PPF + wrap to capture the protection demand without running into VLT enforcement.
Market: California is the global capital for vinyl wrap (color change, commercial fleet, exotic protection) — LA's exotic-car scene drives tickets that average 2-3x other markets. PPF + ceramic adoption is high among Tesla owners (the largest Tesla market in the US). State has strict film tint laws but wrap and PPF demand more than makes up for it.
Operators: always verify current VLT statutes with the California DOT before quoting work. Laws and enforcement vary by county; medical exemptions usually require state-issued documentation.
