Ceramic Coating in Yakima
Want paint protection that goes beyond film? Ceramic coating bonds directly to your car’s clear coat, creating a hydrophobic, UV-resistant layer that repels water, contaminants, and light scratches. It won’t stop rock chips the way PPF does, but it dramatically simplifies maintenance and keeps your car looking freshly detailed between washes.
Many Yakima drivers combine ceramic coating with a PPF for full-spectrum protection on high-impact areas, and coating on the rest. Ask us about bundled packages when you request a quote.

Why Yakima Drivers Trust MC Tint
At MC Tint, protecting your vehicle is what we do, and Yakima’s conditions make it even more important. US-97, SR-823, and the agricultural roads through the Valley kick up gravel and debris year-round. Summer UV intensity at Yakima’s 1,066-foot elevation fades paint and cracks interiors faster than drivers expect. We install XPEL window tint, PPF, and ceramic coating to address all of it, backed by the only 100% money-back guarantee in Central Washington.
What sets us apart? It starts with our commitment to quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Clear Bra and Ceramic Coating?
Clear Bra (PPF) is a protective film that shields against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic Coating, on the other hand, is a liquid polymer that adds hydrophobic and UV protection but does not protect against physical damage. For maximum protection, many customers choose to apply both.
How long does XPEL Paint Protection Film last?
XPEL PPF is engineered to last up to 10 years or more with proper care. It is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers yellowing, cracking, and peeling under normal driving conditions.
Can XPEL PPF be removed?
Yes! XPEL Paint Protection Film can be safely removed by a professional without damaging your vehicle’s paint. This is ideal for leased vehicles or when upgrading to a newer model.
Does PPF affect the appearance of my vehicle?
Not at all. XPEL PPF is optically clear and practically invisible once installed. It enhances your vehicle’s gloss and preserves its original paint color and finish.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the coverage package. We will provide a timeline based on their specific vehicle and the package that is chosen.
How do I care for my vehicle after PPF is installed?
You can wash your car as usual, but avoid automated car washes with brushes. Use pH-neutral soaps and soft microfiber towels. We recommend waiting 48 hours after installation before washing your vehicle to allow the film to fully cure.
Can I combine PPF with window tint or ceramic coating?
Absolutely! In fact, combining XPEL PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint offers the ultimate in appearance, protection, and performance. Ask us about bundled services for added savings.
Is window tinting legal in Washington state?
Yes, Washington allows any darkness on rear and back windows. Front side windows must allow at least 24% visible light transmission. MC Tint installs all film to meet Washington’s requirements. See our full breakdown of Washington state window tint laws if you want to go deeper.
Do you serve all of Yakima, or just part of the Valley?
We serve customers throughout the Yakima area, including Selah, Union Gap, Tieton, and Moxee. Most customers bring their vehicle to our shop in Ellensburg, about 35 minutes up I-82, and many tell us the drive is worth it for the quality of the installation.
