Learn More About Our Car Coating & Detailing Offerings

At Gloss Detailing & Ceramic Coating, we love looking after your vehicle’s aesthetics and value. The best way we do this is through ceramic coating. In this all-encompassing guide, we will take you through everything about this game-changing paint protection technology.

What is Car Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle’s factory paint to form an additional protective layer which enhances gloss and durability. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants which only offer temporary protection, ceramic coatings create a semi-permanent bond with the surface thereby protecting against contaminants from the environment, UV rays and chemical stains for an extended period of time.

Our Installation Procedures

We follow a rigorous process at Gloss Detailing & Ceramic Coating for maximum results:

1. Chemical Wash: We start by thoroughly washing the car using pH-neutral shampoo to eliminate any contaminants on the surface.
2. Paint Decontamination (Clay Bar): Regular washing cannot get rid of some embedded pollutants; that’s why we use clay bars to remove them.
3. Paint Correction: Our skilled technicians polish carefully so as not to cause more damage while removing imperfections such as swirl marks and light scratches from paints.
4. Paint Prep (IPA Wipedown): Oils or residues may still be present on the surface even after cleaning; therefore, an Isopropyl Alcohol solution should be used in wiping down before applying any coat.
5. Coating Installation: Lastly, ceramics are applied under controlled environment conditions where they cure and bond well with paints.

Advantages of Applying Ceramics

1. Amplified Gloss: With ceramic coats amplifying shine levels; vehicles end up having showroom finishes .
2. Hydrophobic Properties: Water beads off faster because of hydrophobicity making it easy during washings.
3. Protection Against Environmental Damage: Such a coat saves your paints from being affected by UV rays, acid rains, bird droppings and other contaminants.
4. Easier Maintenance: The smoothness repels dirt hence keeping cars cleaner for long periods.
5. Increased Resale Value: A person who maintains their car properly while having ceramics can fetch higher prices when reselling it later on.

Maintenance Tips After Detailing

After investing time and money in detailing your car, keeping it looking great is essential. Here are some tips to help maintain your vehicle's appearance and extend the life of your detailing.

Protecting Your Vehicle's Finish

To protect your vehicle's finish, consider using a ceramic coating. A coating creates a barrier between your car's paint and the elements, such as UV rays, rain, and dirt. This barrier helps prevent damage to your car's paint and makes cleaning easier.
