  • 🛡️ Ceramic Coating Process: Step-by-Step

  • Step 1: Deep Exterior Wash & Decontamination

  • We start with a thorough hand wash using a pH-balanced shampoo to remove dirt, dust, and surface grime.

  • Followed by iron and tar removal to break down embedded contaminants like brake dust and road grime.

  • A clay bar treatment is then performed to smooth out the paint surface and ensure it’s contaminant-free.

  • This is crucial so the coating can bond directly to clean, bare paint without interference.

  • Step 2: Paint Correction (if needed)

  • Before coating, we inspect the paint under LED lighting and correct imperfections like swirls, oxidation, and minor scratches using a polishing machine.

  • Why? Ceramic coating locks in the paint's current condition—so we make sure it’s flawless before sealing it.

  • Paint correction may be 1-step, 2-step, or 3-step depending on the vehicle’s condition.

  • Step 3: Surface Preparation

  • We perform a panel wipe using an alcohol-based solution to remove all polishing oils, waxes, and residues.

  • This ensures a perfect bond between the ceramic coating and the paint, allowing maximum durability and effectiveness.

  • Step 4: Ceramic Coating Application

  • The ceramic coating is carefully applied by hand using a dedicated applicator pad, working in small sections at a time.

  • We allow the coating to flash (cure slightly), then level and buff it to ensure an even, high-gloss finish.

  • Depending on the product, we may apply multiple layers for enhanced thickness and protection.

  • Step 5: Curing Time

  • Once applied, the vehicle needs to cure undisturbed for several hours (or up to 24 hours in-shop).

  • We may use infrared lamps to accelerate curing, depending on the environment and product used.

  • During this period, the coating hardens and begins to form a semi-permanent bond with the surface.

  • Step 6: Final Inspection & Delivery

  • We perform a full inspection under proper lighting to ensure a flawless, streak-free finish.

  • The vehicle is delivered with care instructions, including curing guidelines (no washing for 5–7 days) and maintenance tips for long-term performance.

  • 💎 What Ceramic Coating Does for Your Vehicle:

  • Creates a long-lasting, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants

  • Enhances and preserves deep gloss and shine

  • Protects against UV rays, oxidation, and chemical stains

  • Reduces maintenance effort—dirt doesn’t stick as easily

  • Eliminates the need for waxing for years
