WHAT DOES CERAMIC COATING DO?
Ceramic coating
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer, typically made from nanotechnology-based compounds, that is meticulously applied to the car’s exterior surfaces, with a primary focus on the paintwork. It creates an exceptional protective layer that acts as an impenetrable shield against a wide array of contaminants and environmental elements.
Wash Car
First of all, wash and rinse your vehicle to remove all the dirt and grime from the surface.
Clay Bar
Next, remove any stubborn pollutants using a clay bar or speed clay product. Take a chunk of the clay, and knead it into a nice flat surface to work with.
Lubricate an area around a metre square with either the lubricant that came with your clay kit or a detailer spray and then rub the clay over the panel in long linear motions. There is no need to scrub too hard, and you should feel the clay begin to pick up and remove contaminants as you work.
Paint Correction
Now look for the scratches, swirls and faded paint. it will help to correct the paint to a smooth surface for the ceramic coating to bond with and give that deep glass-like finish.
Using rubbing compounds, scratch removers or a decent polish, work the paint till you're happy with the finish you're after. This process can take some time, but it'll be worth the result once your paintwork is as smooth as glass.
Clean Surface
Once you're happy with the surface and it's smooth as glass, we can now prepare the surface for the ceramic coating.
Using Isopropyl Alcohol and a clean microfibre cloth, wipe down each section to make sure the surface is free of any polish, waxes, oils or contaminants.
This ensures the ceramic coating bonds to the surface without an issue.
Apply Ceramic Coating
Working in small sections, lightly spray the Ceramic Coating onto the surface.
Take a soft, clean microfibre cloth to spread out the product evenly until it disappears. Leave it for 10 minutes to bond the ceramic coating with the surface.
Wipe Off
Take microfibre cloth and buff the surface until perfectly clean and clear. Try not to use a saturated cloth or towel to ensure an even clean surface.
Additional layers can be applied for increased durability, depth and protection. Allow 24 hours between coats for the Ceramic Coating to be appropriately layered. The more layers you apply, the more protection and longer the ceramic coating will last.
Watch Water Glide
Now that you've applied 1 or more layers and waited 24 hours between each of them, and your paintwork is looking smooth as glass with a deep glossy finish, you can test your new ceramic coating and see the magic happen before your eyes.
Simply just spray the treated areas with water and you'll see a water beading effect and the water will slide off.
