Bay Area paint protection,
done permanently.

The industry runs on selling it to you twice.

Icon Rocklear rebuilds your clear coat instead of covering it. It cures into a permanent layer thicker than your factory clear coat, brings faded paint back, and leaves nothing sitting on top waiting to fail.

Two packages, and we'll tell you which one.

You don't have to work this out yourself, and we'd rather you didn't try. Tell us what you're worried about, and we'll point you at the one built for it.

Straight answer on chips: this is chip resistance, and it isn't chip-proof. A soft PPF film absorbs a hard direct hit better than we do, and it costs several times as much to put on. For what it costs, Rocklear is the best money in the category. And if what you actually want is the most chip resistance the industry has to offer, ask about PeelClear. We'll book you a consult instead of selling you the wrong thing.

The price is on the page, before you talk to anyone.

It's priced by vehicle size. The table shows Gloss & Fade Protection at the current 50% Summer Sale, and Rock Chip Protection runs $1,725 to $2,475 depending on the car.

If you'd rather split it, Affirm breaks it into monthly payments. A coupe at $925 works out to roughly $77 a month over 12 months, at 0 to 36% APR depending on your credit. The quote is free and it doesn't take a card.

The number on the invoice is the number you pay.

There's no card processing charge, no shop supply line, and no tax at the bottom that wasn't in the quote. Plenty of places add three percent when you hand over a card. We don't.

The coating also self-levels as it goes on, filling a good amount of the light swirls by itself. Deeper scratches with paint actually missing are a bigger job, priced separately and told to you before drop-off.

That figure came out of our own payment records, not a rounded guess. And the deposit isn't an extra charge, it's half the job total and it comes off what you owe at the end.

Usually next day, and never longer than it needs.

Most cars are a next-day pickup. We don't overbook, every stage is checklisted, and your car isn't sitting in a corner of the lot behind six others.

Multiple layers take longer, because each layer has to cure before the next goes on. If yours is one of those you'll hear it up front, and we'll confirm your pickup once the car is with us.

You don't have to come while we're open. Drop the car any day, even the days we're closed, and put the key through the mail slot out front. We'll pull it inside that night, and the clock starts on the next open day. Take anything you need out of the car before you go.

Seven steps, and you know all of them now.

1. Free quote

   Tell us what you drive and we'll send your exact price. No card, no phone call.

2. We confirm your date first

   The date is agreed before any deposit request goes out.

3. 50% deposit holds it

   Comes off your total, and refundable outside 72 hours.

4. Drop-off

   Any day that works for you, including the days we're closed, through the mail slot out front.

5. The install

   Decontamination, clay bar, and machine polish, then the coating goes on and settles overnight.

6. Pickup

   The balance is due at pickup, and it's fine to get the car wet on the drive home.

7. Your 30-day visit

   We check the cure, sand or polish out anything still showing, and hand wash the car. Already paid for.

It's fine in the rain the very next day.

• The drive home

  The surface is dry and it's fine to get wet. Rain that night changes nothing.

• Day 1 to day 30

  It's still hardening, so leave it alone. No car washes, no soaps, no chemicals, no waxes. That's the whole list.

• If something lands on it

  Bird dropping, tree sap, bugs: spray the spot with water and wipe it gently with a clean microfiber. If it leaves a mark, your 30-day visit covers it.

• Around day 30

  Bring it back in. We check the cure, sand or polish out anything still showing, and hand wash the car.

• After that

  Wash it, drive it, park it outside. Just skip automatic washes with brushes, those are what put swirls into a coating.

Dirt and grime stop getting embedded and crusted into the paint, so a rinse takes most of it off before you start. Plenty of owners go from washing weekly to about every five weeks.

Fifteen years is the floor, not the average.

The 15-year warranty is identical on every package. The number comes from 4,000 hours of harsh lab UV testing, simulating a car parked outside in the sun 24 hours a day. That's a worst-case minimum, so a garaged car will see more than fifteen years.

Wear-life is the other number. Each layer carries its own UV inhibitors and blockers, and it takes roughly fifteen years of sun and weather to wear one layer away. So three layers on the front works out to around 45 years of wear-life on those panels. The warranty doesn't stack, the wear does.

The warranty works like a phone warranty: it covers the coating failing or wearing away early, and if that ever happened the manufacturer pays us, or any other Rocklear installer, to reapply it. It doesn't cover external damage, so if you destroy the coating, that one's on you.

Small stuff is free. Real damage is about $150.

A bird-dropping stain that won't wipe off, or paint transfer from whoever parked too close at Costco, is usually five minutes with a polisher. We'll just take it out for you.

Something real, like a key scratch, is usually under $150. It depends on how bad it is, and I'd rather look at it than quote you blind over the phone.

None of that is generosity, and I don't want it read as generosity. You already paid us for the coating, and squeezing another couple hundred out of somebody who already trusted us with their car would be a strange way to run a shop.

The largest Rocklear shop in the Bay Area, and the highest-rated in the country.

That's the highest review score and the most reviews of any Icon Rocklear installer anywhere. A $5,000 Honda gets the same obsessive attention as a $300,000 Porsche, and we've now done several of those.

The owners are at the shop for nearly every single job.

Dragon Auto is AAPI-owned, women-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned. Noah started it in 2017 as a mobile detailing side hustle while he was still in college, and in 2019 he did his first ceramic coating in his grandparents' garage. The full story is on the About page.

Once you're actually here though, you're dealing with the owners. Noah's at the shop for nearly every job we take, so if you don't see him at drop-off you'll see him at pickup, and on the rare day he's at neither, Jenn is.
