What is the difference between the ceramic coating tiers?

The difference is engineered durability and warranty length, not whether it is real ceramic. Every tier is genuine XPEL Fusion Plus, a 9H coating, applied in our climate-controlled studio by an XPEL Authorized Dealer.

What can change the final price for my car?

Vehicle size and complexity, since a large SUV has more surface area than a compact coupe. Whether the paint needs correction first. Your finish, since the Satin tier is built specifically for satin and matte XPEL STEALTH finishes. And add-ons like coating wheels, glass, and trim, or applying ceramic over fresh PPF.

Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?

A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so swirls and scratches are best polished out before it goes on. If your paint needs correction first, we quote that honestly up front rather than sealing the flaws in.

Do you offer financing on ceramic coating?

Yes. Financing is available through Sunbit if you would rather split a higher tier into payments. The consultation is free with no obligation, and we confirm an exact written price the same day, usually within the hour.

How Much Does Ceramic Coating Cost in Westlake Village? (2026 Pricing)

Q: How much does ceramic coating cost in Westlake Village?

We publish the starting price for every tier of XPEL Fusion Plus, beginning at $419. Fusion Plus Lite starts at $419, Fusion Plus Classic at $1349 with a 4-year warranty, Fusion Plus Satin at $1349 with a 4-year warranty, and Fusion Plus Premium at $2249 with an 8-year warranty.

Q: Is a ceramic coating the same as a wax or a ceramic spray?

No. A wax or an off-the-shelf ceramic spray measures its life in weeks or a few months and washes away. XPEL Fusion Plus chemically bonds to your paint, or to paint protection film, in a single layer, leaving a hard, hydrophobic surface that beads water and sheds road grime for years, with a written warranty.

Search “ceramic coating cost” and you’ll mostly find shops that won’t name a price until you’re standing in their lobby. We do it differently. We apply genuine XPEL Fusion Plus, and we publish the starting price for every tier, beginning at $419. Here’s exactly what each tier costs, what you actually get for it, and what can move the number for your specific car.

Ceramic coating pricing in Westlake Village

We install only genuine XPEL Fusion Plus, a 9H ceramic coating, and every tier is the real product applied by an XPEL Authorized Dealer. The published starting prices:

Fusion Plus Lite: entry-level protection, starting at $419
Fusion Plus Classic: 4-year warranty, starting at $1349
Fusion Plus Satin: 4-year warranty, for satin and STEALTH finishes, starting at $1349
Fusion Plus Premium: 8-year warranty, starting at $2249

The difference between the tiers is the engineered durability and the warranty length, not whether it’s “real” ceramic. Every one of them is the genuine XPEL coating, applied in our climate-controlled studio.

What you’re actually buying

A true ceramic coating is not a wax or a spray sealant. XPEL Fusion Plus chemically bonds to your paint, or to paint protection film, in a single layer, leaving a hard, hydrophobic surface that beads water, sheds road grime, and washes far more easily than untreated paint. One application gives you years of gloss and protection, with the warranty scaling to the tier you choose. It is a measurable upgrade in how your paint resists contamination and how little effort it takes to keep clean.

What moves the price within a tier

The starting prices above assume clean, sound paint on a standard vehicle. A few things change the final number for your car:

Vehicle size and complexity. A large SUV simply has more surface area than a compact coupe, so it takes more product and more time.
Paint correction. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so swirls and scratches are best polished out before it goes on. If your paint needs correction first, we quote that honestly up front rather than sealing the flaws in.
Finish. The Satin tier is built specifically for satin and matte (XPEL STEALTH) finishes, so the right tier depends on your paint.
Add-ons. Coating wheels, glass, and trim, or applying ceramic over fresh PPF, adds protection and a little cost.

That’s why we confirm an exact price for your specific vehicle and its condition, rather than asking you to guess from a number online.

Ceramic coating vs. wax or a cheap “ceramic spray”

The reason ceramic coating costs more than a wax is simple: it lasts. A wax or an off-the-shelf “ceramic spray” measures its life in weeks or a few months and washes away. A professionally installed coating measures its protection in years and carries a written warranty. If you’re weighing the two, we broke it down in detail in ceramic coating vs. wax.

How to get your exact price

Tell us your vehicle and a little about its condition, and we’ll confirm the right tier and an exact written price, same day, usually within the hour. The consultation is free and there’s no obligation, and financing is available through Sunbit if you’d rather split a higher tier into payments.
