Ceramic Coating is a permanent, hard, transparent nano-ceramic coating that bonds to your vehicle’s factory finishes – adding a layer of long-lasting protection that will keep it looking newer for longer. It also dramatically reduces the appearance of existing scratches, swirl marks and acid etching from environmental chemicals. An Diamond X application results in an ultra-glossy, low maintenance finish that extends the life of factory paint and finishes.
System X Diamond is much harder than factory clear coats (rated 9H – the hardest available) and protects against common wear and environmental damage that would otherwise cause the deterioration of factory paint layers. Ceramic coating is 100 times thicker than typical wax coatings and much longer lasting. Waxes and paint sealants offer only months of protection and break down over time, requiring frequent re-application. System X Diamond last from 8 years to lifetime and unlike waxes, won’t wash off or wear away. If you want premium finish protection and a flawless high gloss finish that turns heads, then this is the solution for you.
After an System X treatment, your vehicle finishes will require occasional minimal maintenance to keep them looking great. Your car will be easier to wash and clean and follow-up maintenance coatings are not required. Regularly washing your car and doing annual decontamination will help you maintain the gorgeous, pristine finish and keep the warranty on your coating valid.

Gleamworks uses clay towel to dissolve and remove ferrous oxides, tar and wax from your vehicle's painted surfaces and wheels. Residual spots are cleaned with professional cleaning solution. A final, wash is completed with technologically superior wash system that leaves no soapy residue and is better for the environment because there is no waste water to discard. The result: a pristine, gloss finish.
Compounding is the process of using a cutting compound/paste to remove fine scratches in micro-thin layers of paint or clear coat. Compounding “cuts” out surfaces scratches, extensive hazing, and swirl marks. Each cut removes from 5 to 10 microns of clear coat. At least 2 microns of clear coat is left intact to protect against harmful chemicals and UV rays.
Polishing is the final stage of paint restoration. Polishing removes small surface imperfections and results in a highly reflective, glossy surface. Once polishing is complete, the surface is hand cleaned again with soft cloths and alcohol to remove microscopic particles and dust. The vehicle is now ready for the final step: ceramic coating installation.
System X Diamond is a durable, ceramic clear coat that provides superior scratch resistance and protects your vehicle against chemical etching and other environmental deterioration. System X Nano-coating is a cross-linked pre-polymer, that results in a hard, shell-like, transparent finish. System X Diamond has been shown to provide superior resistance to chemicals, scratches and surface marring when compared to any other automotive coating on the market. Your vehicle gets long-lasting factory paint protection that extends paint life and looks great! Diamond X ceramic coating also used to protect metal and hard plastics.
See our pricing table above. The cost of an application is determined by the size of your vehicle, whether additional preparation, decontamination or cut-polishing is required, and which ceramic coating product is being applied. Because the condition of every vehicle is different, you must book an inspection appointment before we can make a recommendation and provide a firm estimate. The price tables above serve as a close approximation of costs.
Element 119 warrants that with the proper application of System X™ Paint Protection by an Element 119 approved installer; your vehicle’s paint finish will remain protected against:
Oxidation
Loss of gloss
UV Damage
Bug impacts
Color fading
Acid rain
Paint chalking
If any treated paint is shown to be adversely affected from exposure to these conditions or through normal use, as evidenced by a visible loss of paint gloss or intractable stain, and providing that all of the terms of this warranty have been met, then such conditions will be remedied free of charge by Element 119, regional distributor and / or its authorized installers, who reserve the right to attempt repairs through professional surface reconditioning / polishing before repainting the damaged area.
Coverage terms up to Lifetime, eligibility varies by Model Year when annual service requirements are met. (See: Annual Inspection). Failure to undertake an annual service will irreversibly terminate the warranty. Read More on official web.
“9H” hardness is the highest hardness rating in what is known as the “Pencil Hardness Test” (also known as the “Wolff-Wilborn test”). Clear coat and paint manufacturers test a coating’s scratch resistance by attempting to scratch the coating using increasing degrees of graphite pencil hardness. There are 20 degrees of graphite hardness starting at 9B (the softest), with HB in the middle of the hardness scale, and 9H (the hardest) at the end of the scale.
2-7 layers of System X ceramic coating can be applied, but typically, 2 coats is enough to provide optimal results. Once an optimal result is achieved, additional layers provide no further benefit. Adding many layers of coating is often used as a marketing gimmick, because some consumers assume that more of a good thing must be better. The vehicle owner doesn’t realize they are paying for coating layers that they don’t really need.
System X Pro and System X Diamond take 2-3 days to complete.
You will not need to wax your car after an application. All that is required is car washing (hand washing is recommended) and a recommended once-yearly decontamination. Follow the System X maintenance program to ensure your warranty remains valid.
