Our Supreme Shine Ceramic coating will help you protect your vehicle's paint and providing long-lasting results that wax and sealant can't match. If you want your paint to be durable and resistant to UV rays, scratches and dirt then ceramic coating is the way to go.

Make sure your ceramic installer does these three things correctly: Not fully preparing the vehicle’s surface, not properly applying the right amount of ceramic coating which is less effective, and not giving the protective layer the time needed to properly cure. In this page, I will be covering everything about ceramic coating so that you are aware if your detailer is doing what is required when adding ceramic coating to your vehicle. 

Ceramic Coating can help restore the gloss finish on your vehicle and help prevent your paint from fading. Supreme Shine Auto Reconditioning provides ceramic coating services to give your car the fresh, clean look it deserves!

What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a protective layer applied to the paint of your vehicle that creates an additional layer and protects the paint from any damage (such as scratches, UV rays, oxidation, swirl marks, and fading). Besides adding a protection layer to your vehicle, ceramic coating is ideal to enhance the appearance of your vehicle over the years. The benefit about ceramic coating is that you don’t have to do a ceramic coat every week like a regular detail, the ceramic coating can last for several years before it is reapplied.

Difference between ceramic coating and wax?

Durability and price are the main differences between ceramic coating and wax. Now that you are aware of what a ceramic coating is, let’s go into more detail about how wax is applied and how it differs. Remember, it is not necessary to be a professional to apply wax to a vehicle. Here’s what the process looks like when waxing a vehicle: Wash the car properly, choose the right wax for the type of paint of the vehicle, apply wax and let dry, buff the wax with a clean microfiber towel, and repeat the process until the wax is applied to the entire vehicle. 

The application of wax is a lot simpler when compared to a ceramic coat. Now, let’s cover  how to apply the ceramic coating to a car. 

Applying Ceramic Coating:

The application of the ceramic coating is important to ensure we have a successful finish.  

Before Applying Ceramic Coating

This is an essential first step to ensure the ceramic coat is a success. There is a high level of detail to washing and removing accumulated dirt or debris on the surface of the car. Supreme Shine uses a specific technique to ensure we are not leaving any scratches on the paint. The drying process is as important as the washing. The goal is to prevent leaving any water spots, and gently drying the surface of the vehicle. 

Surface Preparation

Properly washing and drying is part of the surface preparation before applying the ceramic coat. The additional step in ceramic coating is the usage of a clay bar to ensure we are removing any embedded dirt or debris that washing alone may not remove. Additionally, polishing is an additional step to remove any imperfections on the paint to create a smooth and even surface for the ceramic coat to properly work.   

Application Ceramic Coating

The application of the ceramic coating is the secret for an amazing finish. This step alone is the most important one, which many inexperienced detailers overlook. Our application method using Labocosmetica is flawless because make sure to follow the preparation and application exactly every time. To make sure we don’t miss any spots, we apply the coat in circular motions and focus on a particular area at a time. The key is to add the right amount of the ceramic coat to create an even surface and to avoid any unnecessary buildup. After applying the coat in the entire vehicle, we must wait for the coat to cure, which could take hours. 

Allow Coating to Cure

The application of the coat and the waiting for the coat to dry are the most important two steps in the ceramic process.   

Buff the Surface for the Final Touch

The last and final step is to buff the coating and to remove any residue or smudges. By doing this, the ceramic coat will have an even surface and a glossy finish.

Maintenance for longer protection

Maintenance is essential for the appearance of the vehicle. Here are some of the additional things we recommend to ensure the ceramic coat is taken care of: Regular washing, use a pH-neutral shampoo, check vehicle regularly for any signs of the coating wearing thing or scratched, avoid any direct sunlight or any extreme temperatures, for long lasting we recommend you to park your vehicle inside a car garage, and lastly it is a good idea to apply a ceramic coating booster periodically.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating

There are many benefits of ceramic coating when applied to your vehicle. Let me go ahead and explain the many benefits of ceramic coating:

Repels water (also known as hydrophobic)

We use Labocosmetica products because they contain an ingredient that repels water from forming in your vehicle’s paint. This typically means that water and dirt are less likely to stick, making it simpler to clean the vehicle. 

Say Goodbye to Mud & Dirt

As mentioned above, the Labocosmetica's ceramic coat product has a specific ingredient that repels any type of liquid from sticking in your vehicle’s surface. When the protective layer is applied, it creates a smooth and non-sticky layer that makes it difficult for any mud or first adding up on the surface of your vehicle.  

Ultimate protection against UV rays and Oxidation

These two common forms of protection are important to the longevity appearance of your vehicle. The Labocosmetica contains nanoparticles that create a hard, protective layer that prevents your vehicle from both UV rays damaging the layers of the paint and oxidation, which cause the paint to lose its shine over time. 

Long Lasting protection before reapplied

Unlike a general detailing job, the ceramic coat will last years before being reapplied. That is one of the biggest benefits.

New level of appearance

The ceramic coating layer not only provides an additional layer of protection but also a high gloss finish that restores the vehicle’s look. 

Overall, the main emphasis is “protection” on your vehicle’s paint. Now that you understand the benefits of ceramic coating, let’s now expand on some of the disadvantages of ceramic coating.

Although the coating process takes professional application time it does in fact make the car easier to clean protecting it from most scratches, dirt and dust particles. Its glossy and radiant finish over shines wax making it highly cost effective compared to PPF (paint Protection Film). Additionally the chemical composition of the coatings and its key ingredient being SiO2 takes the professional look from sand, quartz crystals, and silica to a truly “just-out-of-the-showroom shine”.
