Chemical and mechanical decon
Paint is washed, iron-treated, clayed where needed, and panel-wiped so the coating bonds to clean paint instead of road film.
Ceramic coating is for owners who want paint that looks crisp and is easier to maintain. We decontaminate, prep, and coat the finish after reviewing whether correction is needed, because the coating locks in the surface you choose to preserve.
The visible finish is the last step. The quality comes from the planning, cleaning, material handling, and final inspection before handoff.
Paint is washed, iron-treated, clayed where needed, and panel-wiped so the coating bonds to clean paint instead of road film.
Light machine polishing is reviewed before coating. If the finish needs more clarity, paint correction is quoted before the coating is applied.
Coating is applied in controlled sections, leveled carefully, and checked under lighting to avoid high spots.
You leave with the wash timing, maintenance notes, and a clear understanding of what the coating will and will not do.
Coating prices are size-based starting points. Heavy decontamination, extra correction, wheels, glass, trim, and specialty surfaces can be added after review. Financing is available on any project.

A clean process keeps expectations clear and helps the finished vehicle leave with the look, protection, and timeline you came in for.
We review gloss, contamination, swirls, water spotting, and owner goals before locking the package.
The vehicle is washed, decontaminated, dried, and wiped down so oils and residues do not interfere with bonding.
Coating is applied panel by panel, leveled at the correct flash time, and checked from multiple angles.
The vehicle is kept dry during the initial cure window, then delivered with realistic maintenance instructions.
No. Ceramic coating helps with gloss, slickness, chemical resistance, and easier washing, but PPF is the right product for impact protection.
If the paint has swirls, haze, or water spots, correction is recommended before coating. The coating preserves the finish underneath; it does not hide defects.
Use pH-neutral soap, soft towels or mitts, and avoid harsh automatic brushes. Maintenance washes are easier because the surface releases dirt more readily.
Yes, with the correct product and prep. We can quote coating over paint, PPF, and many wrap finishes after confirming material and condition.
