This 2025 KIA Telluride SX X-Line arrived at our shop in Leamington Ontario straight from the dealership. The SUV was spotless on the surface, but like most new vehicles, it had faint haze and light micro-marring from factory handling. Even new paint can benefit from a polish before protection, so we started with a 1-step gloss polish to bring out the true clarity in the white finish.
Once the paint looked its best, we applied our professional-grade 5-year ceramic coating across all exterior surfaces — paint, trim, glass, and rim faces. This coating forms a strong, chemical-resistant shell that bonds to the surface at a molecular level. It protects against salt, UV rays, bird droppings, bug residue, and all the contaminants Ontario roads can throw at it.
Ceramic coating doesn’t just protect. It transforms how you care for your vehicle. Dirt, water, and road film can’t cling to the slick surface the same way they do to unprotected paint. Washing becomes faster and easier, and the shine lasts far longer than waxes or sealants ever could.
During coating, we also treated the Telluride’s piano-black trim and gloss accents, which are known to scratch easily. The coating will keep those areas glossy and fade-free even through tough winters. We topped it off with glass coating for better visibility during rain and coated the rim faces to help resist brake dust buildup.
For drivers around Leamington, Windsor, Kingsville, and Essex, ceramic coating is one of the smartest upgrades you can make on a new SUV. The Telluride is already a premium vehicle, and ceramic coating keeps it looking that way for years.

Many of our clients from across Essex County and Southwestern Ontario come to us because they’ve seen how durable and low-maintenance ceramic coatings can be. In fact, studies show that untreated clear coat can start to lose gloss by up to 40% after two years of UV exposure, while a ceramic-coated surface maintains that same shine for many more.
This Telluride now has full-surface protection designed to handle both summer sun and winter salt. The 5-year coating means fewer washes, easier upkeep, and a mirror finish every time it hits the road.
