Professional ceramic coating at American Fusion Wheels starts at $750 for the coating application without paint correction. This includes full wash, decontamination, clay bar treatment, and ceramic coating application. Packages with single-stage paint correction typically run $1,000 to $1,500. Full multi-stage paint correction plus ceramic coating packages range from $1,500 to $2,500+ depending on vehicle size (sedans vs. full-size trucks and SUVs) and paint condition.

We are located at 12310 W 62nd Ter, Shawnee, KS 66216 — right off I-435 and K-7 Highway. We are 10 minutes from Overland Park, 12 minutes from Lenexa, 15 minutes from Olathe, 15 minutes from downtown Kansas City, and 20 minutes from Lee's Summit. Our central location in the KC metro makes us easy to reach from anywhere in the Kansas City area, whether you are coming from the Kansas or Missouri side.

Professional-grade ceramic coating lasts 2 to 5 years in Kansas City's climate depending on the product tier and how well you maintain it. Our entry-level coatings provide solid 2-year protection. Our premium 9H ceramic coatings last 3 to 5 years even through KC's harsh summers and salt-heavy winters. The key to longevity is simple maintenance — hand wash or touchless wash every two weeks and avoid automated car washes with spinning brushes.

Daily drivers actually benefit the most from ceramic coating. Your vehicle is exposed to UV, road grime, highway debris, and weather every single day. KC commuters on I-35, I-435, K-10, and US-69 deal with construction dust, truck spray, and road salt seasonally. Ceramic coating keeps daily drivers looking clean longer between washes, eliminates the need for waxing, and protects against the cumulative damage of daily exposure. It also preserves resale value — a coated vehicle's paint looks significantly better at trade-in time than an unprotected one with the same mileage.

Absolutely. We ceramic coat vehicles of every size — sedans, coupes, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Trucks and SUVs are actually our most common ceramic coating customers because they have more surface area exposed to road spray, trail debris, and weather. Full-size trucks (F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500) and large SUVs (Tahoe, Expedition, 4Runner) are quoted individually because they require more product and labor than a sedan. We can also coat bed rails, wheel wells, and trim for trucks that see heavy use.

If your paint has swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, or oxidation, we strongly recommend paint correction before coating. Ceramic coating locks in whatever condition your paint is in — if you coat over swirls, those swirls are sealed under the coating for the next 2 to 5 years. Paint correction removes those imperfections first, so the coating goes over a flawless surface. New vehicles with minimal defects often skip the full paint correction and go straight to a light polish and coating, saving you money.

Yes. We offer ceramic coating for wheels, glass, plastic trim, and fabric or leather interiors in addition to exterior paint. Wheel coating makes brake dust cleanup dramatically easier — just a quick rinse instead of scrubbing. Glass coating creates a hydrophobic windshield that repels rain for improved visibility. Trim coating prevents fading and restores black plastic to like-new condition. Ask about our full-vehicle packages that bundle paint, wheels, glass, and trim for comprehensive protection.

Maintenance is simple — that is one of the biggest advantages. Hand wash or use a touchless car wash every two weeks using a pH-neutral car shampoo. Avoid automated car washes with spinning brushes — they introduce micro-scratches that degrade the coating over time. Use a quality microfiber wash mitt and drying towel. Every few months, apply a ceramic coating maintenance spray (we can recommend specific products) to boost hydrophobic performance. That is it — no waxing, no polishing, no sealant applications needed.
