Why Detailers Are Switching from Ceramic Coatings to FST Coatings: The Ultimate Surface Protection

Why Detailers Are Switching from Ceramic Coatings to FST Coatings: The Ultimate Surface Protection

In the competitive world of auto detailing, results matter. Customers expect unmatched gloss, long-lasting protection, and faster turnaround times—and detailers need products that can deliver all three. That’s why a growing number of professionals are ditching outdated ceramic coatings and making the switch to FST Coatings, the ultimate surface protection for vehicles.

The Problem with Traditional Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coatings changed the game years ago, but many formulas haven’t evolved. Long cure times, finicky application, and inconsistent performance have left detailers searching for something better. When customers expect same-day delivery and jaw-dropping finishes, old ceramic formulas can slow you down—and cost you business.

Faster Install, Faster Profits

FST Coatings solves the time problem. Our proprietary Chrysoberyl Formula cures in as little as one hour, meaning vehicles can be delivered the same day without compromise. No more holding cars overnight or juggling shop space. Faster turnaround equals higher volume and better profits.

Gloss That Outshines Ceramics

While standard ceramics deliver good gloss, FST Coatings produces an incredibly deep, wet glow that turns heads from across the parking lot. The clarity and reflection go beyond what many ceramic coatings can achieve, giving your customers a finish they’ll brag about—and bringing you more referrals.

Durability You Can Count On

FST Coatings is engineered for the real world, with industry-leading hydrophobics, UV protection, anti-scratch resistance, and anti-dirt surface technology. Our Advanced formula delivers up to 5 years of protection when maintained with FST Maintenance Products—outlasting and outperforming many ceramic coatings on the market today.

A Price That Works for Professionals

Top-tier performance doesn’t have to come with a top-tier price tag. Many detailers switching from ceramics to FST are finding they can deliver better results at a lower cost per vehicle. With 50ml bottles that rival or exceed premium ceramic coatings, FST keeps your margins strong without cutting quality.

Built for the Detailer Community

When you switch to FST, you’re not just upgrading your product—you’re joining the FST Crew, a network of detailers sharing tips, marketing strategies, and business support. It’s more than a coating—it’s a movement built around helping professionals succeed.

The Bottom Line

Detailers are moving away from traditional ceramic coatings because FST Coatings is faster, glossier, tougher, and more profitable. If you’re ready to offer your customers the next level of surface protection and grow your business in the process, it’s time to join the FST Crew.
