What Is A Ceramic Coating?

Nano-Particle Technology

 
mmt-ceramic-coating

Ceramic coatings utilize nano-particle technology that is applied by hand to a vehicle's top coat, wheels or interior. Once applied the coating covalently bonds to the vehicle's surface creating a glass like protective shield. Hydrophobic properties ensure that water, dirt and grime slide right off and that you cut your wash time in half! Ceramic coatings also eliminate the need for wax, provide superior gloss and shine and protection from UV damage, oxidation and anything acidic. When maintained and taken care of properly a ceramic coating will provide lasting shine, ease of cleaning and surface protection. Give us a call today to learn more about our ceramic coatings and what they can do for your vehicle.

I used MMT to apply a ceramic coating on my Tahoe and a nano ceramic coating on my front winshield. To say that they were extreamly accomodizing is accurate. i made an appointment adn had to change it 3 times and they were able to accomadate me each time. The service was less than a day, it was great service. To be honest i was leary about it becuase it was pricy but after it was completed i was able to justify to my self that it was worth it. Korn explained everything in detail and i have seen first hand that the coating has protected my Tahoe already. It shines 24/7.

Good price, fast for the service I asked for, and quality work. I was able to bring my car in the same day I called the place to inquire (of course I'm sure this depends on the day). The inside of my car smells so fresh! Highly recommend

Amazing customer service! They suggested what I needed and explained in detail why I needed the services. I couldn't recommend a better place in town to take care of your vehicle. They offer a no fault warranty on their ceramic waxing and I haven't seen anyone else offer that.

By far my favorite car wash in Houston. Pricey but my car comes out with a Detail-like clean every time. Drying towels are clean which leave no streaks. Be sure to set an appointment!

Midtown is so very good. They did such a good job on my Genesis GV70 ceramic coating treatment that I brought my wife's new car to them! Her car had paint damage incurred during shipping and they restored it to new, added the ceramic coating and now her car POPS! GREAT JOB! Highly recommend.

I picked up a 22 4Runner and was advised to get PPF/Ceramic coating. Midtown Motors was recommended and I have to say it was worth every penny.Customer service is what I was impressed by most. I put in a request online and was contacted the next morning. Ryan was upfront with costs compared to competitors and explained the different packages. Korn was able to fit me into the schedule early and explained Xpel, cleaning process, and explained any issues that came up during install. The film tech had the hardest job because the 4runner is the most difficult vehicle to put film on from what I've read, it has a large surface area with a lot of curves. He did an amazing job and I salute him! I also like that there is a 2 week follow up to make sure things are good with the install.Overall I recommend this place, so come here to get PPF and Ceramic coating. No vehicle looks fresh with rock chips!

Jaguar F-Type that I am reluctant to have anybody touch. So moving to a hi-rise in Houston and not being able to wash my own car was an issue, until I came across these guys. Impeccable work!

Midtown Motor Trends is the only place I trust my car with. Time and time again they have not only ensured that my car be returned extremely clean and shiny, they taught me so much on how to care for my paint and what tint to protect me from this crazy Houston heat. If you love your car, then take your car only here! Ask for Korn, she's amazing!

Korn and her team go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy. They take their time and treat each car as if it was their own. There may be long wait times and they may be more expensive than other car washes but they are definitely worth it and you can tell the difference. You most definitely get what you pay for!

Super friendly, honest and detailed car wash. You’re greeted professionally upon arrival, they ask you what your concerns are with the vehicle and help you choose which package is right for you. Every time I get my car back it has been way cleaner and spotless than the ones that charge much less and rush. These are professionals I trust when it comes to my car and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Best detailing shop ever! This is the only car wash place I know that has someone check your car to make sure you get a flawless vehicle back. I asked for the interior preserver and when the service advisor inspected the vehicle at arrival she told me it wasn’t needed at that time and told me to pick the package under it because they didn’t want me to spend more money on something that wasn’t needed just yet. They take their time, they ensure you pick the right package for you, they’re honest, and if they do miss something that you notice they do everything they can to make it right before they let you leave. They are definitely worth the wait and the money!

These guys really did a phenomenal job with my car. Gave it to them in totally squalid condition, and they made it look great! It seems that they really take pride in their work. They repeatedly inspected and moved my car to ensure the wax was applied just right. Really really impressed with their workmanship! I'll definitely be back for other services.

Called to make an appointment to have my engine detailed and cleaned down because we travel alot. The guy asked me what areas were concerning me and what i expected out of the detailing. After talking i sat in the lobby for about 45 min. My engine came back looking like it was right out of the dealership. I couldn't have been been more pleased for the price and time.

I got my model 3 wrapped at Midtown Motor Trends and I loved the final product. Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I also got my windows tinted with crystalline and chrome delete. I plan to change the wrap every two years to give my car a fresh look, so that’s where I’ll be again! Highly recommended.

If you have a car that needs cleaning, this is the place to go to. They have several wash packages that you can choose from depending on how dirty your car is or how clean you want your car to be. Even the basic package is outstanding. I was expecting a quick wipe down and I pretty much received a mini interior detail. It was amazing. They also hand wash all cars so you don’t have to worry about getting your paint scratched. Now that I mention it, they also fix paint scratches! AND chip repair! AND tints. This is a car heaven. Trust me.

Mike and his gm Phillip run a flawless operation. Both guys and their entire staff were knowledgeable, always professional, and (most importantly) accountable. I was shopping for a ppf clear wrap for my new Tesla Model 3 in July and they sold me on their 3M ppf product, which came with a warranty in the event the ppf is damaged via impact. As luck would have it something impacted my lower front bumper damaging the ppf not 4 months after they'd applied it. I'm always skeptical of warranties (and the headache they usually require) but these guys were all over my warranty claim. I literally did nothing but wait and receive regular updates. These guys were surprisingly fantastic communicators, which is rare in any service industry (both gents literally texted me intermittently with updates throughout the process). They both remained above and beyond accountable, patiently following up with 3M (many times) until my claim was approved and then patiently scheduling my free ppf replacement per my busy work schedule. In every encounter with these guys they were impressive. They simply did what they promised when they said they would. I cannot send them enough business. Thank you guys!!

The thing that I really appreciated about this car wash was that they did a very thorough job which is what a detail really is. They definitely took the time to do a good job. I love the location because I can just drop my car off there and go enjoy my time at a bar or restaurant in the area rather than wait in lobby. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within 2 blocks from there shop.
