A Thorough Wash

In order for the ceramic coating to adhere and bond with your car, the vehicle must be clean. We will give your car or truck a thorough hand wash, removing any dirt and debris that might be sticking to the vehicle body. This ensures that once the ceramic coating is applied, it covers the entire vehicle and there are no troublesome spots.

Fallout Remover and Paint Correction

Once the vehicle has been washed, we apply a product called Fallout Remover. This chemical penetrates the paint surface to get any ferrous (iron) contaminants that are embedded in the surface. Fallout Remover breaks down these particles, creating a clean surface. We then rinse this chemical off and begin on paint correction.

For the paint correction, we remove scratches from the clear coat and use a number of polishers to repair any imperfections. We make sure to take our time so that nothing is missed and your vehicle is ready for the next step.

Strip Down to the Clear Coat

After the paint correction, we use a silicone remover to strip any polishes that may have been left behind. This allows us to work our way down to just the clear coat, where we can then prepare the vehicle for the ceramic coating and the sealant.

Apply Coating and Sealant

Once the vehicle has been thoroughly cleaned, the paint correction is done, and everything has been stripped down to the clear coat, the ceramic coating can be applied. We apply a seven-year base coat that is then covered with a six-month sealant, making your car look absolutely amazing. It will also be protected from road debris such as gravel, dirt, and more.
