This company was recommended to me for a ceramic pro procedure on my car since I wanted to keep its painting in good condition. They only took a day, but the difference is huge. My car now looks shinier, has a well-groomed appearance, and is better valued. Coming to Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley was an excellent investment.

3/18/2021: Just picked up my wife's white Mustang . We actually drove it there straight from the dealership last week for getting Ceramic coating on. Went with the Gold Package, Had the driver/passenger window tinted and painted brake calipers. Flawless work on the coating, flawless work and color match on the tint.. flawless work on the calipers. Overall outstanding job and meticulous. Now I dropped off my Jeep Grand Cherokee for the same work with stage 3 paint correction and repainting of calipers. Can't wait to see the before and after. Highly recommend these guys. Will post up some pictures once I pick up my Jeep. Update 03/29/21: I just picked up my car after got my wife's was done. As expected, they did a phenomenal job on it. Stage 3 color correction, Wheels inside out, Repainted Brembo calipers and Ceramic Coating (Gold Package). I wish I had before and after pictures. Both cars came out great. They even went above and beyond on the calipers taking some additional time to make sure they were perfect. One of the pictures you can actually see the reflection of my wife's car from the door panel. Kim (Hopefully I got his name right) did my car and really showed he cared about the end result. Highly recommend them and will go again in the future.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Gabriela Stephany | Jan 7, 2022
Compton Roland | Jan 7, 2022

The time it takes to install your auto vinyl wrapping depends on several factors, including what vehicle you have and which type of film we apply. A typical exterior color change will take between 2 and 3 days while full-color wraps often require 4 or 6 working days with our whole crew involved on the project in order to get the job done right!

How does ceramic coating works?

Ryan N. Mock | Jan 7, 2022
Compton Roland | Jan 7, 2022

Ceramic coating technology has been around for a while and it's really starting to take off. You can get ceramic coatings in different shades, including clear or frosty white — but they won't wash away with rain as waxes do! The chemical reaction happens when we combine the ceramic substance (which reacts)with your car’s paint— permanently bonding all together so there are no worries about reapplying at any point; just give us 30 minutes of drying time after application before driving home and voilà!

What types of car speakers can I find on the market for my car audio system ?

Kevin Gibbs | Sep 4, 2021
John C. Virgin | Jan 7, 2022

There are 2 main kinds of speakers : Coaxial Speakers and Component Speakers. Component speakers provide the best audio experience, but the drivers don’t always come together. Each component is placed in different parts of the car and mounted differently to improve the user’s experience. Coaxial speakers are easier to install and affordable since every component is built into the system. It consists of a woofer that handles lower to mid frequencies and a tweeter that takes on high-end frequencies. Coaxial speakers offer a better listening experience than factory speaker systems.

What size of wheels will fit my car?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

There are numerous types and sizes of wheels, and determining which size wheels fit your car depends on what you are looking for. If you are simply changing wheels for aesthetic purposes, then you probably want to just use the exact same size your car currently has. If you are looking for rims and wheels to improve your car’s acceleration and cornering, you will want to go with a wheel that has a slightly larger diameter then your current wheels. However, be aware that larger wheels can also mean that you wear out your tires quicker, and you may feel more bumps in the road while you drive. Smaller wheels make for a smoother and more comfortable ride, although you may notice a decrease in your car’s handling.

Can wheels go out of balance?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Yes, everyday wear on tires will contribute to imbalance. Normal manufacturing imperfections are also a cause: Tires and wheels don’t have precisely equal weight distribution. They’ll be slightly heavier in some spots. Just half an ounce in weight difference is enough to cause a vibration when you’re driving.

Why are tires black?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Cars themselves come in dozens of hues, but not tires. The rubber that tires are sourced from is a milky white color, but carbon black is added to the rubber as a stabilizing chemical compound and makes the tire black. Carbon black is combined with other polymers to create the tire's tread compound.

Can chrome wheels be re plated?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Chrome rim restoration can involve several different methods. If your chrome rims have been scratched, the way to restore them most effectively on your own is either by using a chrome rim cleaner or by using chrome rim paint. The only way to re-plate them is by a process of chrome rim dipping. It is, however, expensive and cannot be done at home.

Are wheels and rims the same thing?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

The main difference between wheel and rim is that rim is not the whole wheel but only a part of the wheel. Key parts of the wheel are rim and disc.The hub may be also considered as a part of the wheel. The hub is wheel base with studs on which the wheel is attached to the suspension. The rim is a cylindrical wheel outer edge holding the tire on the wheel. Main function of the rim is supporting and sealing the tire to the wheel. The rim ensures proper fitting between tire and rim and retaining the air inside the tubeless tire.

Do you really need an amplifier for car speakers?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Let's say you've invested in a new set of upgraded speakers and a sleek new stereo receiver unit. You're on your way to hearing your music in superior ways. However, your car may not be doing your custom audio system justice -- and your radio's built-in amplifier might not supply enough power to the new components. This is why you might need an external amplifier, or amp, as your audio setup becomes more and more elaborate. Amplifiers take a signal from the stereo and use an independent power source to change it into a more powerful signal for the speakers. The more power the amplifier delivers, the cleaner the sound from the speakers.

Are all car stereos the same size?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Vehicle manufacturers design car stereo head units in various sizes. You need to choose an aftermarket head unit based on your vehicle’s year, make and model. Aftermarket radios are normally rectangular. The standard car stereo size is referred to as single DIN. Most cars have single DIN stereo slots. The measurement of a standard DIN slot is 2-1/8” (50mm) height by 7-1/8” (180mm) width. Most car radios will slide directly into the single DIN slot without requiring an additional adapter kit. However, some DIN models may require an installation kit. Regardless of classification (single DIN, DOUBLE DIN, 1.5 DIN, etc.), the stereo’s depth is unique for each model. The installation may require some customization if your vehicle has a relatively shallow cavity.

What wheels fit my car?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

In order to know what rims fit your car, you need to know the range of wheel and tire sizes that will work for your car. Most cars can support a range of sizes, but if you know your wheel diameter and rim width you will be able to choose new rims that perfectly fit your vehicle. The wheel diameter is the width of the wheel, measured across the center in inches, while the rim width is the width of the wheel if looking at it from right in front of it. You can find your wheel diameter and rim width by looking at your tire. The wheel diameter and rim width are both stamped on your wheel, along with some other information that may be valuable when finding the right size rims.

When do wheels spin?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Wheel spinning occurs when excessive application of torque to the driving wheels causes one or both tyres to break traction and rotate more rapidly than the non-driving wheels do.When motoring in greasy conditions, wheel spinning will occur more readily due to the surroundings and weather conditions aiding loss of traction.Wheel spins can happen when one wheel is on a slippery surface (ice, snow, mud, slush) and the other on a dry or grippier surface. The reason it happens is because the differential always routes power to the wheel that needs it the least.

How can I tell if I have a bad wheel bearing?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

The most common symptom with a bad wheel bearing is a loud noise coming from the tire or wheel of the vehicle. It will sound like metal grinding on metal and will get louder as the vehicle goes faster. If you hear noises coming from the wheel, contact a mechanic right away. If the steering of your vehicle feels loose, meaning the steering wheel wobbles excessively, it can be another sign of a wheel bearing gone bad. This is an unsafe situation to be in because the vehicle will not be as responsive as it should be. A potential downfall of a bad or missing wheel bearing is your tires wearing out faster than if you had your wheel bearings replaced when they first showed signs of trouble. If a wheel bearing is missing, it is not recommended that you drive the vehicle at all as the wheel can fall off entirely while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel bearing is an essential part in keeping the wheel attached to your car, so without it, the wheel has nothing to hold it on.

When should I replace my wheels?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

You should immediately examine them for any unusual wear or to see if any of the wheels are broken, dented or cracked. If you notice any damage to your wheels, it's time to either repair or replace them. Usually, a competent tyre mechanic can easily replace most damages.

What can make a wheel fall off?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Any number of issues could loosen a tire, causing it to fall off while you are driving. Most of these incidents occur because of some kind of fastening failure. This could be because the lug nuts worked their way off, your wheel has broken lugs, or because the wheel studs themselves broke.

What are the four main types of wheels?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Steel wheel rim. Steel is durable and can withstand a lot of damage. If you have steel rims that are bent, try taking them to a professional for repair. Usually, they can be fixed. Chrome plated wheel rim. Curb damaged chrome wheels may require sandblasting and re-plating, which is generally quite expensive. Often times, it’s more cost effective to buy a replacement chrome rim. Aluminum alloy wheel rim. Produced from an alloy of aluminum, these rims are commonly offered on new vehicles. They are usually painted, and often have clear coat as well. If they’re bent, it is often difficult to fix them safely. If they’ve been scratched or scuffed up, they can be sanded and repainted. Plastic clad wheel rims. Plastic cladding often looks like chrome, but it’s much lighter (and cheaper) for the manufacturer. Unfortunately, it’s typically not possible to repair plastic that’s been damaged. Instead, you can either replace the entire wheel, or try to remove and replace the plastic cladding (which isn’t always possible).

Can wheels be balanced?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Yes, rebalancing is done by putting the wheel-tire unit on a tire balancing machine that takes measurements to pinpoint lighter or heavier areas and making adjustments to account for these weight differences. The best time to get it done is when tires are being rotated, both for convenience and because you might have a tire out of balance on the rear of the vehicle and won’t feel it until it is moved to the front.

Can wheels lock up with abs?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

When making a sudden stop, it is possible that one or more of your vehicle’s wheels could lock up, leaving you with little control of your vehicle. During wheel lock, the wheels of your vehicle stop rotating, causing your car to slide. For years, drivers were taught to pump the brakes when they felt their vehicle steering into a skid. Today, ABS technology automates the brake pumping process so you can concentrate on steering the vehicle to safety during an emergency situation. By preventing your car’s wheels from locking, anti-lock brakes ensure that you are able to steer during a hard braking event.

Can wheels be powder coated?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Yes, once the powder coating particles are sprayed onto your wheel rims, the rims are baked in an oven at very high temperatures. This baking process not only causes the particles to fuse together, but it actually allows the powder coating to cure. The end result is a thicker, more durable surface coverage.

Will tire sizes will fit my wheels?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

How do tires thread depth impact ride quality?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Thicker tread can better cut through water, snow, mud, sand, gravel and other debris. With a thick tread with wide grooves, you can better manage hazardous driving conditions. Your car will maintain traction, and you’ll be at lower risk of hydroplaning or spinning out of control. You’ll also be at less risk of getting stuck in mud or snow or of sliding down an icy or snowy hill. Because thicker tread provides greater traction, it can also improve your stopping time. Your car will grip the road better, and it can brake quickly, helping you to respond to emergency situations better and to avoid obstacles. Thicker tread can also create a noisier ride. If you live in a hot, dry climate that doesn’t get snow or a lot of rain, you may not need the thicker tread. Your ride will suffer, but you won’t get the other benefits.

Why do my car tires sound loud?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Uneven wear is a leading cause of tire noises because contact between the road and uneven tires isn’t uniform. The unbalanced tread depths cause tires to emit loud noises while driving. Usually, you’ll hear sounds caused by uneven wear coming from one tire. Alignment issues can also cause tire noises. As you travel, the air chamber produces a low humming or drumming sound. If your car is overdue for a wheel alignment, then you’ll start to experience a bumpier ride. This will cause irregular tire movement and make the sounds coming from the air chamber louder.A bad wheel bearing is one of the more serious issues that cause tire noise. When the wheel bearing in your tires is damaged or deteriorating, it produces a soft humming sound or grinding noise when you change lanes. It’s best to have the wheel bearings replaced as soon as possible to prevent excessive damage and collisions.

Are wheel spacers safe?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

As long as the wheel, hub, and spacer are stiff enough to prevent flexing and loss of clamp force, the cause of most wheel stud failures is under tightened lug nuts (not enough clamping force) or over tightened lug nuts (the stud has been stretched past it's elastic limit, so the clamping force goes away). Therefore, properly installed wheel spacers are perfectly safe.

What are wheels rims?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

What are car amplifier channels?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

A channel refers to the electronic circuit that are used to provide power to a single speaker in a car’s sound system. Car amplifiers featuring multiple channels are ideal for powering multiple speaker units. The important question is should ask yourself is, what is the right number of channels suitable for your car sound system. Amplifiers are offered in various configurations. The number of channels depends on the number of speakers connected to your sound system. This simply means that each speaker that you need to amplify requires its own channel. If you’re intending to add a subwoofer to an already existing system, then a single amp can get the job done. You can configure some of the car amps with a multiple channels for specific applications Mono amplifiers with class D’ rating are specifically designed to consume less power and emit less heat when amplifying woofers. The most versatile units are those with 2, 4 or 6 channels. A car amplifier with two channels can be used to power 2 woofers, 2 coaxial speakers, or can be bridged to run a single sub. 4-channel amplifiers are the best option when you want to add a subwoofers to your system and enhance the power directed to the rear full range speakers. In such a case, it is very easy to run the full range speakers, each with its own channel and bridge the remaining other 2 channels to power the sub unit. You can also power all the 4 coaxial speaker units with the same amp and then designate a separate a different mono amp for the subwoofer. You should note that component systems are usually more complicated and you may require more than a single amplifier and external crossovers.

What different benefits can I find in vinyl wraps?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Wraps do not reduce the resale value of your car like a paint job does. Vinyl car wraps protect your OEM paint and are 100% removable. Cost for a vinyl vehicle wrap is considerably less than a comparable paint job. Vinyl car wraps wear as well as paint when properly maintained. The vinyl can take a beating and protect the paint underneath. Warranties and/or lease agreements remain valid. Painting can void warranties, increase the cost of insurance, and is not even an option with a lease. Vinyl car wraps come in any color, even custom, and can have a matte, semi-gloss, gloss, brushed steel, carbon fiber, metallic flake, matte metallic, chrome and even leather-like finishes. Expensive, color-matching paint fees are unnecessary for scratches or accident vehicles; just re-wrap the section that needs repair.Affordably customize parts of your car. You do not have to wrap your entire car; just your hood, roof, mirrors, stripes, etc. Matte-paint jobs can be brittle and chip easily while vinyls are more durable and harder to scratch. In the event that repairs are needed, the part that was damaged can be easily replaced, providing a perfect match. Hides dings or scratches and refreshes the look of your vehicle.

When are tires out of balance?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Tire balancing is a tune-up for your wheel-tire set. It makes sure that weight is evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the unit. The common symptoms of out-of-balance tires are uneven and faster tread wear, poor fuel economy, and vibration in the steering wheel, the floorboard or the seat that gets worse at faster speeds.When all areas of the wheel-tire unit are as equal in weight as possible, the tire will roll smoothly. This helps it wear evenly, for longest life. Balancing also contributes to ride comfort: Imbalanced tires will wobble or hop up and down, which causes vibration. If a front tire isn’t properly balanced you’ll likely feel vibration in the steering wheel. If the problem is in the rear the tremor will be noticeable in the seat or floor. Imbalanced tires are easily corrected, but the work is precise. It’s done by attaching small weights, just fractions of ounces, to the wheel.

How can you tell if a car speaker is blown?

In general, vehicles with compound curves, or indentions, like a VW Bug or PT Cruiser are more difficult and more expensive to wrap than a box van with -at surfaces. Partial wraps are a great way to minimize cost as opposed to a full wrap. Cast (High Performance) Vinyl is more expensive than Calendared (intermediate) Vinyl and lasts longer so be sure to discuss with your supplier. Make sure to request a clear vinyl overlaminate also. It costs a little more but is well worth it.

What causes a blown speaker?

Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020
Ceramic Pro San Fernando Valley | Sep 4, 2020

Failures in subwoofers are caused either by ELECTRICAL and/or MECHANICAL power handling issues. Electrical failure occurs when applying to much power to the subwoofer(s) and causes the voice coil(s) to "burn". This can be the result of incorrect gain settings or improperly wired subwoofers, which can cause a low impedance load on the amplifier. Failures in tweeters, midrange and midbass speakers are caused by ELECTRICAL and/or MECHANICAL power handling issues. Most failures occur from ELECTRICAL failure caused by applying too much power to the speaker's voice coil. Constant over-powering results in "burned" voice coils. The only fix for this is to reduce the amplifier gain controls and/or treble/bass boost controls or not to drive your audio system so hard. Distortion is not damaging to a speaker. However, if you hear distortion long before reaching peak system volumes, it's just a good idea to readjust the amplifier or signal processor gain controls and/or readjust the equalizer settings to maximize your sound quality. MECHANICAL failures occur by using the wrong crossover point for the speaker.

How are car amplifiers categorized?
