Software for ceramic coating shops
WrapForce is CRM and quoting software built for ceramic coating shops - it prices paint correction and coating packages from your own rate card, shows customers a mockup of their own car, and collects the deposit before correction work begins.
Start free trialHow does WrapForce price a ceramic coating job?
Ceramic coating quotes are really two line items stacked together: the correction labor and the coating package itself, and WrapForce's catalog keeps them separate on purpose. Most SiO2 (silica-based) coatings only bond properly to paint that's been corrected first, so a one-stage polish to knock down light swirls prices very differently from a full multi-stage correction on a car with years of neglect - and that correction labor is often the biggest line on the invoice, not the coating. On top of that, coating packages are usually sold by durability tier: a one-year entry coating, a two-to-five-year mid-tier, or a multi-year (sometimes marketed as "9H" hardness) flagship package, each with its own price. Vehicle size matters too, since a coupe and a three-row SUV take different amounts of product and labor. Every one of those variables - correction stage, coating tier, vehicle size - is an editable line item in your catalog, and WrapForce suggests a quote total from your own rate card and comparable past jobs rather than a fixed formula.
Add-ons are common in this segment too - glass coating, wheel and caliper coating, trim restoration, and interior protection are all frequently sold alongside the paint package. Since each add-on is its own editable line item, a customer who wants the full "inside and out" treatment gets one quote with every piece priced separately rather than a verbal estimate that's hard to reconstruct later.
How do customers see what they're paying for?
Ceramic coating is a hard sell to explain over the phone, because the visible result is mostly a gloss and hydrophobic upgrade on paint that already looked fine to the customer's eye - it's not a dramatic color change like a wrap. WrapForce's AI mockups help by showing the customer their own vehicle looking freshly corrected and coated, which gives buyers considering a one-year versus a multi-year package something concrete to compare rather than a durability chart. Mockups are generated from the customer's own photo, not stock images, with standard renders on every plan and HD on Pro and Enterprise.
How does a coating job move from quote to booked job?
Leads, quotes, customers, vehicles, and jobs all live on one pipeline board, so a call about correcting swirls before a coating doesn't get lost between a text thread and a sticky note. Once the customer is ready, WrapForce sends a private, tokenized link with an embedded Stripe Connect payment form - no account required on their end, and the deposit settles directly to your own Stripe account on your own payout schedule. A paid deposit creates the job and puts it on your calendar automatically. The calendar itself is a normal shared scheduling view; WrapForce doesn't try to reason about correction time, flash time, or cure time on its own, so your team still blocks out the bay for however many days the correction and coating actually take, and still tells the customer when the car is safe to wash or drive in the rain.
What does WrapForce track once the job is booked?
Product use is tracked against your inventory, and customers and their vehicles are stored together, which matters here - a customer happy with a two-year coating on the daily driver is a strong candidate for a multi-year package on the next car in the garage. Reports with CSV export make it easy to see which correction stages and coating tiers are actually the most profitable, and every price change and status move is captured in an audit log. Since coating is so often bundled with PPF, both live as separate, editable services in the same catalog, so a combined quote is one line item away.

Frequently asked questions
Does WrapForce auto-schedule around cure and flash time?+
No - the scheduler is a normal shared calendar your team books jobs onto, not a system that reasons about cure or flash time on its own. A paid deposit creates the job and puts it on the calendar; from there your team schedules correction and cure/delivery windows the way you already do.
How does WrapForce price a coating job that needs paint correction?+
Correction labor and the coating package are separate, editable line items, so a one-stage polish plus a two-year coating prices differently from a full multi-stage correction plus a multi-year package. WrapForce suggests a total from your rate card and past comparable jobs based on vehicle size and the package chosen.
Can I quote add-ons like glass, wheels, and interior coating?+
Yes. Add-ons are just additional editable line items in your catalog, so glass, wheels, trim, and interior coating can each be priced on their own and added to any quote alongside the main paint package.
How realistic are the AI mockups for a coating job?+
Coatings mostly enhance gloss and add hydrophobic behavior rather than changing the car's color, so mockups focus on showing the customer their own vehicle looking freshly corrected and coated - a useful sales aid, not a guarantee of the exact finish your correction process will produce on a given paint.
Do customers need an account to pay a coating deposit?+
No. Every quote gets a private, tokenized link with an embedded Stripe payment form. No login, no app download - the deposit settles straight to your own Stripe Connect account.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes - 14 days, full access, no card required. Shops that just want a quote form for their website can also start with the free embeddable quote widget, no account needed.
