Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to your car’s exterior surface. Once cured, it chemically bonds with the vehicle’s paint, creating a transparent protective layer. Unlike wax or sealant, ceramic coatings offer much longer-lasting protection. This hydrophobic barrier repels water and contaminants, making your car easier to clean and maintaining its pristine shine for years. Ceramic coating also protects against:
We start with a meticulous hand wash using pH-neutral products to ensure no harmful chemicals affect your car’s paint. Next, we remove surface contaminants like tar, sap, and industrial fallout using clay bar treatment. This step ensures the surface is clean, smooth, and free of any impurities.
Before applying the ceramic coating, it’s essential to fix any imperfections in the paint. We perform a multi-step paint correction process, which involves machine polishing to remove light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. This step is critical because the ceramic coating will seal in whatever is on the surface, so we want to make sure the paint is as flawless as possible.
After the decontamination and paint correction, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the vehicle’s surface is completely clean and ready for the coating. Any residual contaminants, imperfections, or oils are removed to ensure maximum bonding of the ceramic coating.
Once the vehicle is perfectly prepped, the ceramic coating is carefully applied by hand. We use professional-grade ceramic products designed for long-term protection. The coating bonds with your car’s paint, forming a semi-permanent barrier that enhances both shine and durability.
Depending on the package you choose, we may apply multiple layers of ceramic coating to ensure optimal coverage and protection. Each layer is left to cure properly, resulting in maximum protection against UV rays, chemical stains, and water spots.
The vehicle requires a curing period to ensure the ceramic coating fully bonds with the paint surface. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain the vehicle’s protection during this crucial phase.

Regular washing is your first line of defense in maintaining the integrity of your ceramic coating. Aim for a weekly to bi-weekly wash schedule. While ceramic coatings are excellent at repelling dirt, grime, and water, contaminants can still accumulate. To preserve the coating, it’s crucial to use a pH-neutral, wax-free car wash soap that won’t strip away the protective layer. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the hydrophobic properties of the coating. Gtechniq, a leading brand in ceramic coatings, recommends using gentle products to avoid unnecessary damage.
Automatic car washes might seem convenient, but they can do more harm than good to your ceramic coating. The abrasive brushes can scratch and weaken the coating. Instead, opt for a touchless car wash or hand wash. Use a microfiber wash mitt to gently remove dirt without causing micro-scratches or swirl marks. Separating mitts for the wheels and paintwork is a great way to prevent cross-contamination.
After washing, drying your car properly is key to preventing water spots that can etch into the coating. High-quality microfiber drying towels are the best option, as they absorb water without leaving streaks or lint. Unlike traditional towels, microfiber towels are designed to be soft on delicate surfaces, ensuring the ceramic coating remains unblemished. Additionally, drying your car thoroughly will protect the hydrophobic properties from any water-related issues.
Every 2-3 months, it’s recommended to apply a ceramic maintenance spray to revitalize the hydrophobic effect and maintain the coating’s longevity. These sprays form a supplementary layer that boosts the coating’s resistance to water, dirt, and other contaminants. Maintenance sprays like CarPro Reload or Gtechniq C2 are specifically designed for this purpose and help ensure the coating remains slick and functional.
For optimal long-term results, schedule a professional check-up for your ceramic coating every 6-12 months. Professionals can provide a thorough decontamination wash to remove embedded pollutants that may not be visible to the naked eye. This step can extend the lifespan of the coating and may include a reapplication of booster products for enhanced protection. Additionally, an annual inspection can help detect any early signs of wear, allowing for timely corrections
