"The service provided far exceeded my expectations from the beginning to end. I took my Kia Telluride to Matt for a ceramic coating and was extremely happy with the results. What I was most impressed with is the professionalism. Matt took the time to explain the details of the ceramic process and differences in the packages. He is very honest in his assessment of the vehicles paint condition and did not try to up sale me on the packages. He kept me updated on each phase of the process with pictures along the way. Once I picked up my vehicle he did a good job of explaining and demonstrating how to care for a ceramic coated vehicle. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting their car/truck ceramic coated or detailed."
Ron - Killeen, Texas
"I had Matthew come down to Austin from Harker Heights (1 hour drive) to do a paint correction and ceramic coating on my 2008 Corvette. He did an AMAZING job and the Ceramic Pro he put on my car makes it look 1000% better! I had some oxidation on a couple parts and alot of dirt embedded in the paint because I used to have to drive on a dirt road everyday with it. The car now looks like shes never seen dirt before. The difference between what I gave him and what he returned to me is night and day. He also has really amazing prices. You will definitely get more than you are paying for if you choose to give Matthew your business. I'll definitely be coming back."
Nick - Austin, Texas
"Matthew turned my daily driver that I thought was beyond help into something I barely even want to drive anymore it’s so nice looking. The paint correction and ceramic coating he did was perfect. It looks so good I might try to sell it to Carvana in this market. You wouldn’t know this car has sat outside in direct sunlight /Uv damage for 7+ years ever since I bought it from its original owner, and it looks like there’s a fresh new coat of paint on it , it’s crazy how good it came out."
Gorge - Harker Heights, Texas
"Thank you so much Matthew! When I dropped the car off the paint looked awful, it was full of scratches and bugs that wouldn’t come off. Matthew didn’t rush and treated me like family and my car like it was his own! On the day of pick up my car looked brand new! Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings made the process extremely easy and affordable. I cannot recommend Matthew enough. If you want your car to look brand new and have the best service possible - hit him up!"

This uniquely-colored BMW X4 in Brooklyn Gray was part of the two-vehicle package we did for husband/wife Killeen residents, where we installed a partial full body on the husband’s BMW 540, and we did a full front (mirrors, fenders, hood, and bumper) on this BMW X4, and then installed a five-year SB3 Alpha ceramic coating (similar in longevity and performance to a Ceramic Pro Silver Package).
The client was incredibly concerned about rock chips on her far away commute from Killeen to Austin, daily. She had already received a few rock chips, and was borderline between being able to install the clear bra/paint protection film and not being able to (as we discuss in our frequently asked questions section – at a certain point, the rock chips become too much and the clear bra/PPF will have pockets of air where the chips are, and look worse).
We ended up filling in many of the smaller chips with a crayon that was similar in color to the Brooklyn Gray, which allows the hole to be slightly filled (covering up the primer underneath), without creating the raised bump that you might typically get by fixing rock chips (that also creates an air pocket that looks bad under the clear bra/paint protection film).
Overall, this installation of clear bra came out amazing, with just a minor tweak.
We are not always perfect, and sometimes, as we have discussed in other blog articles and frequently asked questions, no installation is flawless. However, in this case, the BMW X4 driver mirror continued to lift up on the edge. We decided to redo both mirrors to ensure the client was happy.
Mirror clear bra installations can be more difficult to lay down. As the tension required to wrap an 8mil thick paint protection film without wrinkles is high. This makes it the most commonly returned item.
Why are we telling everyone about an imperfect clear bra/paint protection film/PPF installation?
Mainly because of expectation management. A typical clear bra/paint protection film installation has a two-week follow-up period where we check for issues like this. We addressed all of the client’s concerns, and as you can see from our reviews, she was totally satisfied! We try very hard to ensure this never comes up where clear bra lifts, and many shops make every attempt to hide any imperfection in their clear bra/PPF installations, especially online, where everyone is afraid to post issues.
The important takeaway from this installation is that after voicing some concerns to us, we rushed to ensure they were taken care of and satisfied. These situations are NOT the normal with clear bra/paint protection film installations, but it’s important to understand that NO business can PREVENT problems – they happen. Each business is defined by how they handle issues.

For this vehicle, we used Legend Paint Protection Films (https://legendppf.com/). We talked a lot in a FAQ article about what the major differences are between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any, between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, Ceramic Pro – Kavaca, STEK, Flexishield, Global, Legend and more (https://hhceramiccoatings.com/what-is-the-difference-between-major-clear-bra-brands-faq/). The key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which is something installers have to deal with, but generally, don’t have an effect on anything the client sees.
People frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film, and if Legend PPF compares to Xpel at all. A lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands. We also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as clear bra, here: https://hhceramiccoatings.com/is-xpel-the-same-as-clear-bra-faq/
SB3 Coatings (sb3coating.com) are great coatings. They are similar to other offerings we have had in the past. You may be more familiar with other brands’ offerings. Here is a quick reference to help you understand our transition.
– The SB3 Coatings Solo is similar to Ceramic Pro Sport. (although SB3 Solo has a one-year warranty whereas Ceramic Pro Sport has a six-month warranty)
– SB3 Coatings Omega is similar to Ceramic Pro Bronze (Ceramic Pro Top Coat) two year coating
– The SB3 Coatings Thirty3 is a three-year ceramic coating. Which is a warranty period we have not had in the past.
– SB3 Coatings Alpha is a five-year coating, similar to the Ceramic Pro Silver (five-year) package, which uses Ceramic Pro 9H (one layer) and Ceramic Pro Top Coat (one layer). SB3 Coatings Alpha utilizes a single coating system which helps us get your vehicle back to you faster without sacrificing quality.
– The SB3 Coatings Trinity is a seven-year coating, which we did not offer previously with Ceramic Pro.
– SB3 Coatings Vortex is a two-year ceramic coating similar to Ceramic Pro Wheel & Caliper or Ceramic Pro 9H (when used on wheels).
– The SB3 Coatings Optic is a one-year ceramic coating similar to Ceramic Pro Glass. It is used on your windshield/glass surfaces.
Additionally, we have access to many brands of ceramic coatings. We always choose what is best for the client in their particular situation.
