Default Local Ceramic Coating...

Does anyone know of a local shop that does Ceramic Coating, I'm in SGV area.
Can't seem to find anyone close by.
I talked to Young Guns in Rancho but, that's kinda far and their turn around 5-7 days.

I use Embee coatings in Santa Ana. Their automotive coating facility (Embee Performance) borders the 55 across the freeway (sorta) from the old Lamborghini dealership. Also, 5-7 days isn't a bad turnaround time. It's not usually something that you can have done properly in 1-2 days from drop-off to pick-up since they need time to prep it and then let the coating cure, not counting time spent not losing/damaging it and treating it properly.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. I would not want my job rushed.

If I want ceramic coating, the only people I talk to are the Jet Hot people.
They might be close to you but if not, they are worth it to use.
