Professional Ceramic Protection
System X Pro+ is a professional-grade ceramic coating delivering durable gloss, hydrophobic performance, and contamination resistance. It is the foundation of Empire's accessible ceramic protection — a proven System X chemistry installed by certified technicians.
Overview
Pro+ delivers the core benefits of System X ceramic technology — a hard, hydrophobic, chemically-resistant layer bonded to the paint — in a package ideal for owners who want genuine ceramic protection with a shorter commitment window. It is the chemistry behind Empire's Empire Shield tier.
Applied under Empire Shield (2-Year) with single-layer ceramic application and paint decontamination.
Technical Data
Performance
Pro+ shares the same SiO2 ceramic foundation as the wider System X line. It bonds to the clear coat to create a protective ceramic layer that outperforms any wax or sealant on durability and hydrophobic behavior.
Pro+ provides 9H surface hardness, improving resistance to wash marring and light scratching versus uncoated paint — keeping the finish cleaner and glossier between details.
A water contact angle above 100° means water, contaminants, and fluids bead and release readily, reducing wash effort and the surface abrasion that dulls paint over time.
As certified System X installers, we apply Pro+ as a single-layer ceramic over a decontaminated, properly-prepared surface, inspected panel by panel for even coverage and finish.
Pro+ is ideal for owners evaluating ceramic benefits before committing to a decade-long coating, or for aircraft approaching a planned repaint within a few years where a 2-year protection window fits the ownership plan.
Ideal For
Owners new to ceramic coating
Aircraft approaching a planned repaint in 2–3 years
GA piston and high-performance singles
Budget-conscious owners wanting real ceramic protection
Questions
Both are System X ceramic coatings with 9H hardness. Max G+ is the Boeing-approved flagship applied in multiple layers under Empire Excellence with a 10-year warranty; Pro+ is a single-layer application under Empire Shield with a 2-year warranty — a great entry point to ceramic protection.
Under our Empire Shield tier, Pro+ is backed by a 2-year warranty, with real-world longevity depending on maintenance washing practices.
Yes. Many owners start with Pro+ and step up to Max G+ under Empire Excellence at their next major detail or before a long ownership horizon. We'll advise the right path for your aircraft.
No. Ceramic coating is completely prohibited on Cirrus SR20/SR22 composite airframes per Service Advisory SA25-02. We never ceramic coat a Cirrus.
