The credentials behind the work — and how to verify them yourself.
Last updated: May 24, 2026
Ceramic coating and paint correction are skill-dependent and product-dependent. The wrong technique burns clear coat; the wrong application voids a coating warranty. These are the accreditations our technicians and our process are held to — and you can verify each one with the issuing body directly.
The International Detailing Association (IDA) is the industry's professional body. IDA certification tests detailers on safe wash technique, paint correction, coating application, and chemical safety. It's the baseline credential that separates a trained detailer from someone with a foam cannon.
Verify IDA membership and certification through the association's official detailer directory: the-ida.com.
Gtechniq accredits installers on its professional coating line — Crystal Serum Ultra, Crystal Serum Light, and the EXO topper. Accreditation is what makes the multi-year Gtechniq warranty enforceable; a coating applied by an unaccredited installer is not warranty-backed by the manufacturer.
Find accredited Gtechniq installers through the manufacturer: gtechniq.com.
Gyeon (Quartz) certifies installers on its Mohs, Mohs+, and Syncro coating systems. Like Gtechniq, the manufacturer-backed warranty on a Gyeon coating is tied to certified application.

A $99 spray-on coating from an uncertified applicator and a $1,500 certified ceramic install are not the same product or the same outcome. Certification means the manufacturer stands behind the work, the application was done in the correct conditions, and the warranty registered in your name is real and enforceable.
Ask. We'll tell you exactly which technician holds which certification and how to confirm it.
