Improving Resale Value: Carfax + Ceramic Pro
Carfax has teamed up with Ceramic Pro to increase the resale value of vehicles. As the official press release states:
SAN DIEGO – Ceramic Pro is helping maximize the resale value of their customers’ vehicles by reporting product installation details to Carfax. Vehicles treated with Ceramic Pro, the revolutionary liquid nanotechnology that protects paint and eliminates the need to wax your car, now are identified on Carfax Vehicle History Reports and the myCarfax.com mobile app.
Ceramic Pro protects a vehicle’s paint from corrosion, UV damage and oxidation while simultaneously enhancing its gloss finish. Making this information available through Carfax is beneficial for both buyers and sellers. Shoppers can buy with more confidence knowing that these are vehicles a previous owner invested in to protect, and may be willing to pay a premium for them.
…
Carfax Reports and myCarfax show the type of Ceramic Pro treatment on the vehicle (i.e. paint, wheels, glass), the date of installation and that the work was done by a certified installer. The myCarfax Service Shop program puts vehicle maintenance and repair information from more than 53,000 dealer and aftermarket service locations on Carfax Reports and myCarfax.
“Taking steps to safeguard a vehicle’s fit and finish can have a positive impact on the overall maintenance,” said Vern Poyner, general manager at Carfax. “Ceramic Pro’s choice to provide these details to people who use Carfax will help them make better decisions about the cars they buy, sell and service.”

WHAT IS CERAMIC PRO?
Ceramic Pro 9H is a revolutionary and transparent glass coating. It's the thickest, hardest paint protection coating available. There are also other exterior and interior Ceramic Pro products.
WHAT DOES "9H HARDNESS" MEAN ANYWAYS?
Are you familiar with the Pencil test? This Pencil test is used in the coating industry to determine a mineral’s hardness, and 9H is the highest on the scale. The coat will stay hard for a lifetime if maintained correctly.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER CERAMIC PRO EXTERIOR PRODUCTS?
There are different levels of Ceramic Pro exterior packages. Ceramic Pro exterior coating depends on what level of warranty you are looking for. There is a 1-year warranty, 2-year warranty, 5-year warranty, and the Lifetime warranty. The major differences in the warranty packages are the durability and layers of the coatings, but they all offer extreme gloss, self-cleaning and anti-graffiti properties.
WHAT ABOUT FOR INTERIOR PROTECTION?
Ceramic Pro is also offered for suede, leather, plastic, rubber and textile. This revolutionary product works for old and new vehicles.
HOW IS IT APPLIED?
Ceramic Pro can only be applied by a trained professional detailer. Capitol Shine is the original dealer for Ceramic Pro products in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Most of the time, we suggest some paint correction. This process is basically removing all the scratches and blemishes before we lock in the perfect look with the Ceramic Pro coating.
WHAT KIND OF PREPARATION HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT'S APPLIED?
The first step is scheduling an estimate. The process varies by vehicle model, color and current condition. Contact one of our trained Ceramic Pro specialists to schedule your estimate by sending us an email or calling 202-380-7100.
