Ceramic Coating Warranty Maintenance in Mississauga
Keeping a Gold — Three Years or Platinum — Five Years ceramic coating warranty valid at YYZ Detailing Haus in Mississauga requires booking a free annual inspection within 30 days of your install anniversary, plus following the hand-washing and product guidance in your care guide. The coating is registered to your car at handover, and that record is kept by the studio for the life of the warranty.

General information, not legal advice. Rules and prices can change.
What the warranty covers
The warranty covers failure of the coating itself — loss of its protective, hydrophobic properties or visible degradation — under normal use and the maintenance described in your care guide. It is in addition to your rights under Ontario and Canadian law and does not limit them.
The annual inspection requirement
A free annual inspection is required within 30 days of your install anniversary. There is no cost for the inspection itself. Booking it on schedule, together with following the care guide, is what keeps the warranty in place year over year rather than it being a one-time condition at installation.
Day-to-day care that protects the coating
Wait 7 days after installation before the first wash, then hand wash only, using a pH-neutral shampoo, clean microfibre mitts and a separate mitt for wheels, drying with a plush microfibre towel. Avoid automatic brush washes, and avoid abrasive or harsh chemicals, waxes, polishes and cleaner-waxes applied over the coating.
What falls outside the warranty
The warranty does not cover rock chips, scratches, scuffs and impact damage; collision damage or any panel that is repaired or repainted; damage from automatic brush washes or abrasive or harsh chemicals; contaminants left on the paint long enough to etch it; defects that existed before the coating was applied; or normal wear.
Making a claim
Send a photo of the issue if you can, then bring the car to the studio for inspection, which is free for a covered claim. If the issue is covered, the studio repairs or re-applies the affected area; warranty remedies are repair or re-application, not cash refunds. The warranty is transferable if you sell the car.
Gold vs Platinum: the maintenance requirement is the same
Both Gold — Three Years and Platinum — Five Years require the same free annual inspection within 30 days of your install anniversary and the same care-guide maintenance to stay valid; the length of coverage differs (3 years versus 5 years), and Platinum additionally includes one-step correction and paint-thickness measurement before the coating is applied, but neither tier is exempt from the annual inspection requirement. Keeping the same maintenance routine on either tier is what the warranty is conditioned on, not the price paid for the package.
Before you choose a package
Select Car, SUV or Truck on the service page to see the listed price for that size. Read the package inclusions and estimated time together: the lowest priced option is not automatically the right scope for your vehicle. At drop-off the studio inspects with you and confirms the price before work begins. Tell the studio about existing damage and remove personal items before arrival. If extra work is proposed, it needs your approval. For questions about the condition of the vehicle, use the quote form or call 647-323-7867. Booking opens Square, where you choose the service and appointment; a website link does not automatically preselect a package or apply an offer. Keep the handover care instructions with the written warranty and contact the studio if you are unsure about a product or cleaning method.

Questions
Is the annual inspection free?
Yes. Annual inspections are free and are required to keep the warranty in place.
Does losing water beading mean the coating has failed?
Not by itself. Contamination can mask water behaviour; bring the car in to have the surface assessed.
Does the ceramic coating warranty transfer if I sell the car?
Yes, coverage transfers to the new owner.
What happens if I miss the 30-day inspection window?
The free annual inspection is required within 30 days of your install anniversary to keep the warranty in place, so book it within that window.
Does Platinum have different maintenance requirements than Gold?
No. Both require the same free annual inspection within 30 days of your install anniversary and the same care-guide maintenance; only the coverage length and the inclusion of correction differ.
