When is the best time to pitch ceramic coating to a wash customer?

At the reveal, once the bike is clean and the customer can see the actual result -- not during the original booking call, before any work has been done.

What should the ceramic coating pitch focus on for a wash-only customer?

Protecting the result and making future cleaning easier -- less frequent washing, easier bug/grime removal, UV protection -- rather than generic "it'll look shinier" framing, since a wash customer already has shine.

What if a customer declines the full-bike ceramic coating quote?

Offer a smaller-scope option, like tank-and-fenders or chrome-and-exhaust only, as a lower-commitment way to try the result -- keep it as a standard price-list item, not an improvised discount.
