Ford F-350 Ceramic Coating in Watertown, CT: 2026 Lariat Package
A brand new 2026 Ford F-350 Lariat is a serious investment, and the paint, wheels, and leather on a truck like this start taking abuse from the first Connecticut winter. That is exactly why this owner came to us for a Ford F-350 ceramic coating in Watertown, CT , along with protection for the wheels, the cabin, and the glass. Instead of handling one surface at a time, we put together a single package that covers the truck inside and out. In this post we walk through what the package includes, how each service works, what it costs, and what to expect if you are considering the same protection for your own truck.
The Job: A Full Protection Package for a 2026 F-350 Lariat
This proposal combines four services, each aimed at a different part of the truck. Here is how the package breaks down.
3-Year Ceramic Coating Package (Truck): $1,100
The paint coating is the foundation of the package. It starts with a full exterior detail and paint decontamination to strip away bonded contaminants that a normal wash leaves behind. Next comes a 1-step polish, which sharpens clarity and removes minor imperfections so the coating locks in a clean, glossy finish rather than sealing in flaws. Finally, we apply our 3-year ceramic coating, which forms a durable, hydrophobic layer that defends against UV rays, oxidation, road grime, and environmental fallout. On a truck with as much painted surface as an F-350, that prep work is where most of the time goes. Estimated duration for this stage is 48 hours.
Wheels Off Ceramic Coating: $400
Coating the wheels with them still on the truck only protects what you can see. For this service we remove each wheel, prep the surfaces properly, and coat both the faces and the inner barrels. The result is a slick layer that helps repel brake dust and grime, keeps the wheels cleaner for longer, and holds onto that deep, glossy finish. Estimated duration is 12 hours.
Interior Ceramic Coating Package: $300
A Lariat cabin is a nice place to spend time, and a work truck interior sees muddy boots, spilled coffee, and plenty of sun through the glass. Our interior ceramic coating bonds to leather, vinyl, plastic, and fabric to form an invisible shield. It repels liquids, resists stains, reduces UV damage, and makes cleanup much easier, all while keeping the original look and feel of the materials. Estimated duration is 12 hours.
Ceramic Window Tint: $400
The last piece is ceramic window tint. Ceramic film is our premium tint option, designed to cut heat, UV rays, and glare without hurting visibility. It keeps the cab cooler in summer, helps protect the interior from sun fading, and adds comfort and privacy.
The package subtotal comes to $2,200 before Connecticut sales tax and a 3% card processing fee.
Why a Ford F-350 Ceramic Coating Makes Sense: What to Expect
Full-size trucks take more punishment than most vehicles. They sit higher in the spray of road salt and sand, they often live outside, and their large flat panels show oxidation and water spotting quickly. A ceramic coating will not make paint bulletproof against rock chips or scratches, but it does make the surface far more resistant to chemical and environmental damage, and it makes washing faster because dirt and water have a harder time sticking.
Durability. The 3-year coating in this package is built for multi-year protection with proper care. Washing by hand with a pH-neutral soap and skipping automatic brush washes goes a long way toward getting the full life out of it.
Timeline. The paint coating alone is estimated at 48 hours, and the wheel and interior coatings are about 12 hours each. Plan on the truck staying with us for a few days; we will confirm the exact schedule when you book.
Cost factors. Coating pricing depends on vehicle size, the condition of the paint, how much polishing is needed, and which add-ons you choose. A new truck in good shape generally needs less correction than an older one, which keeps prep time reasonable. You can compare all of our coating tiers on our ceramic coating services page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3-year ceramic coating package include for a truck?
A full exterior detail, paint decontamination, a 1-step polish, and the 3-year ceramic coating itself.
Why take the wheels off to coat them?
Removing the wheels lets us prep and coat the inner barrels as well as the faces, so brake dust and grime have a harder time sticking to the whole wheel, not just the part you can see.
Can a ceramic coating go on leather and fabric?
Yes. Our interior ceramic coating is designed for leather, vinyl, plastic, and fabric, and it preserves the original look and feel of those materials.
How long will my truck be at the shop?
For this package, the paint coating is estimated at 48 hours and the wheel and interior coatings at about 12 hours each. We confirm the full schedule when you book.
How do I reserve an appointment?
A 20% deposit secures your booking, and we accept cash, card, Apple Pay, and Afterpay.
