Revealing The Process: Safely Applying and Removing a Ceramic Pro Ceramic Coating
When it comes to Ceramic Coatings, Ceramic Pro has emerged as a game-changer, providing vehicle owners with a cutting-edge solution for paint protection. The Ceramic Coating acts as an invisible shield, offering longevity, hydrophobic properties, and a glossy finish that is there to last. To truly understand the power of Ceramic Pro Coatings, let’s delve into the in depth process of applying and, if the time comes, removing this product.
Applying Ceramic Pro: A Symphony of Protection
Vehicle Inspection:
The application process begins with a thorough inspection of the vehicle’s paintwork. Any imperfections, contaminants, or swirl marks are addressed before the application process begins.
Surface Preparation:
The canvas must be pristine for the application process to begin. The vehicle undergoes an in depth cleaning process. This includes a contact wash to get light surface dirt and debris off. Then, the installers will move onto a second decontamination wash which includes an iron removal treatment and a full clay bar. A clay bar treatment is often utilized to remove any remaining residue or contaminants. This includes but is not limited to iron from your brakes, any brake dust left on the vehicle, any tree sap or tar, overspray.
Paint Correction:
The next step of the application process is paint correction. Depending on the severity and condition of the paint, your vehicle will require a one or two step paint correction. Even brand new cars with ten miles get a level one paint correction to ensure the most gloss, the least amount of scratches, and a perfectly clean surface.
Ceramic Coating Application:
Once the installers have prepped the vehicle one final time after paint correction, the Ceramic Coating is carefully applied to the vehicle’s surface, layer by layer. Depending on the ceramic coating you choose, multiple layers may be added to maximize durability and protection.
Curing Process:
The coated vehicle is then left to sit while it undergoes a curing process. The vehicle is placed in a covered and safe area, so the ceramic coating can bond with the vehicle’s paint. This bond will create a powerful and resilient shield, keeping your vehicle’s paint protected for the long run!
Final Inspection:
Once the coating is cured, the vehicle is ready for a final inspection. The trained installers will inspect the coating. Things they keep an eye out for are most commonly high spots. High spots are spots where all of the coating was not properly wiped off. Only after passing this inspection is the process considered complete, and the vehicle is then delivered to the customer!
PPF Maintenance Tips
Removing a Ceramic Pro Coating:
While Ceramic Pro Coatings are famous for their durability, there may come a time when a vehicle owner wants to remove the coating.
Polishing or Abrasive Removal:
A polish or abrasive removal is the first step to removing a Ceramic Coating. In order to avoid damage to the vehicle’s underlying paint, this should only be performed by trained professionals.
Wash:
Once a full polish or abrasive removal is complete, a wash is necessary to ensure that all of the coating was removed from the paint, and the vehicle has a clean, even, and smooth surface.
Surface Inspection:
Following the removal process, the installers will do a final inspection on the vehicle’s paint to guarantee that all of the coating was removed.
Conclusion:
The application and removal of a Ceramic Coating is an art form in the automotive industry. There are multiple steps in both the application and removal process, each step depends on each other. With our Ceramic Pro Trained Installers, you can rest assured that your vehicle is in safe hands.
