Ceramic coating has revolutionized car care, offering long-lasting protection and a stunning finish that lasts for years. However, the key to unlocking the full benefits of ceramic coating lies in the quality of its installation. Entrusting your vehicle to a trusted detailing service for professional ceramic coating installation ensures that you receive the highest level of expertise and craftsmanship. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into what you can expect from a trusted detailing service when it comes to professional ceramic coating installation.
1. Receiving a Quote:
Ceramic coating pricing is based on the number of years you would like your ceramic coating to last and the level of paint correction required prior to applying the ceramic coating. Because we want your paint to look its best before we essentially seal it in with the ceramic coating, we will perform paint correction on the vehicle to remove imperfections, marring and light scratches. Our ceramic coating contact form or our ceramic coating pricing tool (https://getmintmobiledetail.com/car-detail-services/ceramic-coating/) can help us get the information we need to understand your vehicle’s unique needs and get you a custom quote.
2. Surface Preparation:
Before applying the ceramic coating, the detailing service will meticulously prepare the vehicle’s surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and durability. This may involve washing and decontaminating the exterior to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants that could interfere with the bonding process. Additionally, any existing wax or sealant will be removed to ensure a clean slate for the ceramic coating application.
3. Paint Correction:
Paint correction is a widely used term for polishing imperfections, swirl marks and scratches out of clear coat and automotive paint jobs. Paint correction is completed in order to remove imperfections on your car’s surface. For example, you may have noticed that some cars have marks that appear like spider webs on your car paint under the sun or a street lamp? Paint correction can address this along with other damage to your vehicle’s surface. Our paint correction experts use techniques, tools and chemicals to smooth out the painted surfaces. The end result enhances the gloss effect and makes your vehicle’s paint look new.
We always advise that paint protection be performed before installing paint protection film or ceramic coating so that you are applying the protection when your vehicle looks its best.
4. Application of Ceramic Coating:
Once the surface preparation is complete, Mint Mobile Detail’s detailing professional will apply the ceramic coating to the vehicle’s exterior surfaces. Your Gtechniq ceramic coating is then applied to each panel. Our Gtechniq ceramic coating comes in a liquid form and is applied using precise techniques to ensure uniform coverage. If you select a 5-year ceramic option, we will then apply a 2 year Gtechniq coating on top of the 5 year coating. Layering the coatings this way adds further protection and ensures it truly lasts 5 years. We will then let the coating cure before adding a ceramic sealant on top of the coating(s). This is a step that is recommended by coating manufacturers but often overlooked by installers. When the coating has cured it is able to form a durable, protective layer that bonds with the paintwork on a molecular level.
5. Final Inspection and Quality Assurance:
After the ceramic coating has been applied, out Mint Mobile Detail technicians will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the finish meets our exacting standards. Any remaining residue or imperfections will be addressed, and additional touch-ups may be performed as needed before turning the vehicle back over to you so that you can enjoy your newly refreshed vehicle!
6. Aftercare and Maintenance:
To prolong the life and effectiveness of the ceramic coating, the Mint Mobile Detail will provide you with aftercare instructions and recommendations for ongoing maintenance. This will include tips on what products and soaps to use on your vehicle, how to dry your vehicle, as well as guidance on when to schedule routine maintenance visits to maintain the integrity of the ceramic coating. By following these recommendations, you can ensure that your vehicle retains its showroom shine and protection for years to come.
Professional ceramic coating installation offers unparalleled protection and enhancement for your vehicle’s paintwork, provided it’s performed by a trusted detailing service. By understanding what to expect from the installation process, including initial consultation, surface preparation, application, and aftercare, you can confidently invest in ceramic coating knowing that your vehicle is in capable hands. With the expertise and dedication of our reputable detailing technicians at Mint Mobile Detail, you can enjoy the benefits of ceramic coating for years to come, keeping your vehicle looking its best and protected against the elements.
