Rivian R1S PPF, Ceramic Coating and Tint in Watertown, CT

Looking into Rivian R1S PPF and ceramic coating in Watertown, CT? GoodLooks Auto Spa recently built a three-part protection package for a 2026 Rivian R1S: full frontal paint protection film, a 3-year ceramic coating, and ceramic window tint. Below, we explain what each service covers, what it costs, and how long it takes.

The 2026 Rivian R1S Protection Package

Full Frontal PPF (SUV): $2,340

Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear film applied over factory paint. On this R1S, coverage includes the front bumper, headlamps, fog lamps, fenders, mirrors, and full hood. These are the surfaces that take the most rock chips, road debris, and bug splatter, and the film helps preserve the original finish underneath. Estimated duration: 62 hours. Learn more about our paint protection film options.

3-Year Ceramic Coating Package (SUV): $1,150

This package starts with a full exterior detail and paint decontamination, followed by a 1-step polish to improve clarity and remove minor imperfections. We then apply a 3-year ceramic coating, which forms a hydrophobic (water-repelling) layer that adds gloss and helps defend against UV rays, oxidation, road grime, and environmental fallout. Estimated duration: 48 hours.

Ceramic Window Tint: $300

Ceramic tint is a premium window film that reduces heat, UV rays, and glare without affecting visibility. It keeps the cabin cooler, protects the interior, and adds comfort and privacy. Our team also installs carbon and ceramic tint for homes, businesses, and boats.

Why Pair Rivian R1S PPF and Ceramic Coating?

Each product does a different job. PPF is a physical barrier against impact damage on the most exposed front surfaces, while a ceramic coating focuses on gloss, easier washing, and resistance to UV and contaminants. The package subtotal for this R1S was $3,790 before Connecticut sales tax and processing fees. We serve drivers from Watertown, Waterbury, Middlebury, and across Greater Waterbury.
