Our 5-Step Ceramic Coating Install Process

PREPARE

1. Clean + Wash

The first step is to thoroughly wash and clean the vehicle to remove any dirt, debris, or contaminants. This is important to ensure that the ceramic coating can adhere properly to the surface of the paint.

DECONTAMINATE

2. Surface Decontamination

After the paint correction stage, the surface of the vehicle is typically treated with a special solution to remove any remaining contaminants, such as tar, grease, or industrial fallout.

CORRECT

3. Paint Correction + Polish

Depending on the condition of the paint, a process known as paint correction may be necessary to remove any swirl marks, scratches, or other imperfections. This involves using a series of polishing compounds to smooth out the surface of the paint. Up to 1 hour, or 1 layer of paint correction is included.

COAT

4. Ceramic Coating Application

Once the surface is completely clean and prepped, the ceramic coating is applied to the vehicle's paint. This may be done using a spray gun or by hand using a microfiber applicator.

CURE

5. Curing

After the ceramic coating is applied, it needs time to cure and bond to the paint. Depending on the product used, this may take several hours or up to 24 hours. Once the coating is fully cured, it is buffed to a high shine using a microfiber towel.
