How Are Ceramic Coatings Installed?
Installing a ceramic coating is an extremely tedious process. Below is a breakdown of how ceramic coatings are installed.
- 100% Hand Car WashUsing PH neutral soap and a clean wash mitt and safe towel to dry.
- Paint DecontaminationChemical decontamination with iron removers followed by a clay bar treatment to mechanically decontaminate the paint.
- Labor Intensive Machine Paint CorrectionWe must make your car’s paint as close to perfect as possible so that we don’t seal those defects under the coating.
- Surface Cleansing Coating PrepWe apply an alcohol-based cleansing solution followed by a solvent-based wax and grease remover to give the coating a proper surface to bond too. Unlike wax, coatings chemically bond to your clear coat so paint prep is very important!
- Tedious Panel by Panel InstallationWe apply the coating panel-by-panel with an applicator and special soft towels to prevent further damage. Area’s like grills, wheels, suspension components and brakes are applied by spraying with an airbrush to ensure full coverage of all parts.
