Protection services

Three layers of high-end protection

Ceramic coating leads, PPF guards the impact zones, and ceramic tint protects the glass and cabin.

Why it matters

Protection built for luxury SUVs and sports cars

Carolina sun, spring pollen, red clay and winter brine on I-77 and I-85 all wear down paint. High-end vehicles show that damage first, and it costs you at resale.

Founded in 2019, Red Wagon has protected 1,500+ vehicles, and owner Christian Douglas still leads every job personally.

We're certified coating installers using a professional-grade ceramic coating and premium self-healing paint protection film.

Window tint

Ceramic window tint for Carolina heat

A Charlotte summer can turn a black interior into an oven. Ceramic tint rejects heat without signal interference, cuts glare on the drive home, and blocks UV that fades leather and trim.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to protect a luxury car's paint in Charlotte?

For most owners it's ceramic coating on all paint, with PPF on the high-impact front end. The coating handles UV, pollen, bird droppings and road grime. The film takes the rock chips from I-77 and I-85. Add ceramic window tint to protect the cabin from Carolina heat.

How much is ceramic coating in Charlotte?

Red Wagon's ceramic coating starts at $349 for a 1-year coating on a sedan. Multi-year packages with paint correction start at $897, and the Ultimate Protection Package starts at $2,497 for sedans. We use a professional-grade ceramic coating, and every coating carries a warranty for the life of the coating.

Should I get ceramic coating or PPF?

They do different jobs. Ceramic coating adds gloss and makes washing easy. PPF is a physical film that stops chips and scratches. Many luxury SUV and sports car owners do both: PPF on the front, ceramic on the entire vehicle, including over the film.

How much is PPF in Charlotte?

Full Front PPF starts at $1,895 and Full Vehicle PPF starts at $5,995 for sedans, with a 10-year warranty.

Is window tint legal in North Carolina?

Yes, within state limits. We'll recommend a ceramic film and shade that meets North Carolina rules for your vehicle. Tint carries a lifetime warranty.

Should I protect a new car right away?

Yes. Coating and film go on best before the paint picks up swirls and chips, so book soon after delivery.
