And ridiculous water behavior. SystemX says Phantom's 2K formula creates “a dramatically stronger cross-linked matrix” for chemical resistance and gloss retention. We rate it 9+ years, with proper washing and maintenance. Not magic, just a seriously good layer between your paint and the world.

No, and anyone who promises that is overselling. A coating is an added protective layer. It makes bird droppings, sap and water spots easier to remove and makes washing much easier, but it's not scratch-proof and it still needs proper, gentle washes.
We offer two tiers: P&S Inspiration STOUT, rated 4 years, and SystemX Phantom, our top-of-the-line coating, rated 9+ years. Those are our tier ratings, not guarantees. How long any coating lasts depends on washing, maintenance and conditions, like how the car is driven and stored. When we reach out, we'll walk you through the care that helps it last.
A coating locks in whatever's underneath, so it won't fix swirls or scratches. Both of our coating packages include a 1-step polish (gloss enhancement). Whether your paint needs more depends on its condition, and we'll tell you honestly after we see it.
