Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle's exterior, creating a durable, protective layer over the factory paint. It's ideal for car owners seeking long-term paint protection, enhanced gloss, and easier maintenance against environmental contaminants and minor scratches.
What ceramic coating includes
- Multi-stage decontamination wash
- Paint correction (polishing to remove defects)
- Surface preparation (degreasing, IPA wipe)
- Application of ceramic coating layers
- Infrared curing (optional)
- Final inspection and wipe-down
Best for: Car owners who desire superior, long-lasting paint protection, a high-gloss finish, and reduced effort in maintaining their vehicle's pristine appearance.
