Does my car need paint correction before the coating is applied? My car is brand new!

Most if not all new cars sit on a lot for long periods of time, and collect dirt particles on the clear coat until it gets its first detail when the car is purchased. This is how swirl marks are introduced to a brand new car, and unfortunately this is the case with every dealership. It will require a minimum single stage polish to remove these imperfections prior to coating. Otherwise, they will show right thru the finish.

Can I apply Paint Protection Film over the Ceramic Coating in the future?

Yes and No. It can be done by first stripping the coating off with a heavy rubbing compound. The biggest issue is removing it from the edges of each panel. Most edges cannot be buffed out without risking it from burning the paint. In this case, the edges will stay coated, and you will no longer be able to have the edges fully wrapped in PPF. The other downside is that the film will not adhere to the clear coat making the film more vulnerable to lifting over time.

What is the application process and how long does it take?

Our process of Ceramic coating a vehicle will take between 1-5 days depending on the condition of your paint, the size of the vehicle and the packages you select. The 1st step is to wash and prep the vehicle. The 2nd step is to correct all the imperfections in the paint such as swirls and scratches. Once the vehicle is properly prepped, a body shop safe prep solvent will be applied to the entire vehicle to get to bare paint. At this stage the coating process will begin, and each panel of the vehicle will have Ceramic coating applied, leveled, and stacked to achieve the package you have selected.
