Your vehicle deserves more than just a quick wash and wax. It deserves long-term protection that keeps it looking sleek, glossy, and well cared for. That’s where ceramic coatings come in. At Appearance Solutions in Sacramento, we specialize in premium-grade ceramic coatings that shield your vehicle’s finish from the harsh California sun, environmental contaminants, and daily wear.
But with so many options available, how do you know which ceramic coating is right for your vehicle? Not all coatings are the same, and choosing the right product makes all the difference in protection, appearance, and longevity.

Why Ceramic Coatings Matter
Ceramic coatings have become the gold standard for vehicle protection. Unlike traditional wax or sealants, ceramic coatings create a semi-permanent bond with your vehicle’s paint or paint protection film (PPF).
Some key benefits include:
Enhanced Gloss and Depth: Ceramic coatings bring out the richness of your paint, giving your vehicle a showroom-quality look.
Hydrophobic Properties: Water, dirt, and grime slide off with ease, making your vehicle easier to clean.
UV Protection: Prevents fading and oxidation from Sacramento’s strong sun.
Contaminant Resistance: Shields against bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime.
Long-Term Durability: Coatings last years, not months, giving you peace of mind.

At Appearance Solutions, we exclusively use XPEL Fusion Plus coatings—widely recognized as some of the best ceramic coatings in the industry. Here are the different options we offer:
1. XPEL Fusion Plus Premium – The Ultimate in Protection
Warranty: 8 Years
Finish: Gloss only
Durability: 200% thicker than standard coatings
Best for: Long-term protection, maximum gloss, and depth
XPEL Fusion Plus Premium is the flagship of ceramic coatings. With an impressive 8-year warranty, it offers unmatched longevity. What makes this product stand out is its thickness—200% greater than Fusion Plus Paint & PPF—which means better defense against scratches, contaminants, and UV damage.
Drivers who choose Fusion Plus Premium want their vehicle to look flawless for years to come. This coating delivers unmatched shine, a rich glossy finish, and the strongest hydrophobic properties available. If you’re looking for the ultimate protection and are serious about keeping your vehicle pristine, Fusion Plus Premium is the way to go.
2. XPEL Fusion Plus Paint & PPF – Balanced Performance
Warranty: 4 Years
Finish: Gloss only
Best for: Everyday durability with strong protection and clarity
For vehicle owners who want great protection without committing to the highest tier, XPEL Fusion Plus Paint & PPF is an excellent choice. This coating provides 4 years of reliable protection while enhancing paint clarity and vibrancy.
It bonds seamlessly with both your vehicle’s paint and XPEL’s paint protection films, making it a smart option if you already have PPF installed. The result is a smooth, sleek finish that not only looks great but also resists fading, stains, and environmental wear.
Fusion Plus Paint & PPF is a perfect balance of quality and affordability, delivering noticeable improvements to your vehicle’s appearance while still offering strong defense.
3. XPEL Fusion Plus Satin – For a Unique Finish
Warranty: 4 Years
Finish: Satin/Matte only
Best for: Preserving the look of satin and matte paint or XPEL STEALTH™ PPF
Not every vehicle is meant to have a glossy finish. Satin and matte paint finishes create a bold, distinctive look, but they require specialized care. That’s where XPEL Fusion Plus Satin comes in.

This coating is designed specifically for satin and matte surfaces, including XPEL STEALTH™ PPF. Unlike traditional ceramic coatings, it doesn’t alter the unique flat appearance of your finish. Instead, it adds hydrophobic protection, stain resistance, and long-lasting durability while keeping your satin finish exactly as it was meant to be—clean, smooth, and eye-catching.
If you want to keep your satin finish free of water spots, fingerprints, and environmental damage, Fusion Plus Satin is the best solution available.
