There are many different aspects, properties and characteristics of ceramic coatings and they differ slightly from one brand to another. We will work with you to understand your wants and needs to find the most suitable coating for your vehicle. The general idea behind ceramic coating your vehicle is to provide an increased level of protection by hardening your paints surface, enhanced clarity, gloss, increased ease of washing, added UV-resistance, and increased scratch resistance. This creates an immensely hydrophobic surface on your vehicle allowing water to fall right off and dirt has a much harder time sticking to your paint allowing your vehicle to stay cleaner substantially longer.
A typical ceramic coating that is properly maintained with routine maintenance washes will last as long as the advertised life of the ceramic (approx. 5-7 years est.) Factors to consider that may affect the lifespan of a coating are; environmental conditions, driving style (driving behind vehicles that kick up debris), how much you drive and much more. To get the most out of your vehicles ceramic coating we recommend our maintenance wash package which utilizes spray wax and optional spray ceramic sealant to top off your ceramic coated vehicle to help maintain its coating.
The prices of ceramic coatings can vary drastically because of many factors which may include: the quality of the ceramic coating such as lifespan of coating ( 1-year 3-5 year or 7 years), primary purpose of the specific ceramic: shine, protection, slickness, country of origin, and self healing characteristics. One of the most exclusive ceramic coating brands originates from Japan. Used on highly exclusive exotic cars such as Bugatti’s, Koenisegg, Ferrari’s, and Lamborghinis, Kamikaze Ceramic Coatings are unmistakably the pinnacle of coatings. If the pinnacle of ceramic coatings is not what you’re looking for, we also offer other great, price friendly ceramic coating brands such as Gyeon, and Koch Chemie.
Paint Correction
Depending on the your wants and needs we can adjust accordingly. Although, to achieve the perfect finish we recommend a 3-step polish (heavy, medium and fine) to leave your vehicles surface with a mirror-like finish. Once this has been completed, we only use a top shelf premium surface cleaner which is necessary to remove any extra compound, or residue left on the vehicle after our processes. This allows for an immensely clean surface prep for the ceramic coating to bond to.
The amount of paint correction steps is dependent upon your desired level of paint clarity and existing paint conditions. This process is the most important as your ceramic coating clarity is only as good as the paint quality beneath it. Our process goes up to a 4-step correction, typically 3 and begins with a heavy cut depending upon the existing level of scratches, oxidation, swirls, hazing and holograms, and potential orange peel within the vehicles paint.
If heavy cut is not enough we offer wet sanding which is a 2-3 step process which involves sanding your paints surface with 1000 grit working up to 3500. This may be necessary to remove deep scratches, swirls and/or holograms. A follow up sanding stage is done after this with 2500 grit to leave a smoother surface when polishing. 2500 grit sanding marks are removeable via our DA.
