Ceramic coating is an extremely thin nano-coating which is applied to surfaces that it then bonds to. This process is the new industry standard for vehicle protection!

1. Preparation Stage
Proper preparation is crucial for the ceramic coating to bond effectively.
Wash the Car
(Decontamination Wash)
-
Use a PH-neutral car shampoo to thoroughly wash the car.
-

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber towel.
Remove Surface Contaminants
(Clay Bar Treatment)

This ensures a smooth surface for better bonding.
Paint Correction
(Polishing/Compounding - Recommended)
