When it comes to preserving the beauty and integrity of your vehicle, few solutions offer the longevity and performance of professional ceramic coating. At August Precision, our team of trained specialists brings years of experience, advanced tools, and high-end products together to deliver ceramic coating services that go beyond surface-level aesthetics.
In the image featured above, our technician is hard at work, meticulously polishing the surface of a luxury SUV. This critical stage in the ceramic coating process ensures the surface is free of imperfections, allowing the coating to bond properly and deliver the deep, glossy finish our clients expect.
This article takes you behind the scenes of our ceramic coating process and highlights the value it brings to discerning vehicle owners who demand the best in both appearance and protection.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. Once cured, it forms a strong, protective layer that chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint. Unlike waxes or sealants that sit on top of the paint and wear off over time, ceramic coatings provide long-term protection and enhanced performance.
When properly applied, ceramic coating offers years of defense against environmental contaminants such as dirt, road salt, tree sap, acid rain, and ultraviolet rays. It also improves the vehicle’s appearance, enhancing the depth and gloss of the paint while making future cleaning easier.
The Role of Paint Correction in Ceramic Coating
Before any ceramic coating is applied, the surface must be perfected. This is where paint correction comes into play. As shown in the photo, our technician uses a dual-action polisher to perform multi-stage paint correction on the vehicle. This process eliminates imperfections like swirl marks, oxidation, water spots, and light scratches that have accumulated over time.
Even new vehicles can require paint correction, as they often arrive from the dealership with transport-induced blemishes or subpar factory polishing. A smooth, defect-free surface is essential for the ceramic coating to bond properly and deliver optimal results.
At August Precision, we never cut corners. Every vehicle undergoes a thorough inspection and a tailored paint correction process to ensure that the final result is nothing short of flawless.
The Ceramic Coating Process at August Precision
Our ceramic coating service involves a series of carefully executed steps designed to maximize the performance and longevity of the coating. Here’s what clients can expect when they choose August Precision:
1. Deep Cleaning and Decontamination
Every service begins with a comprehensive hand wash followed by chemical and mechanical decontamination. We use iron removers and clay bars to extract embedded contaminants from the paint surface, leaving it clean and ready for correction.
2. Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Depending on the condition of the paint, we perform one or more stages of machine polishing to eliminate imperfections. Our paint correction process restores the clarity and reflectivity of the surface, creating the ideal foundation for ceramic coating.
3. Surface Prep
Once correction is complete, the vehicle is wiped down with an isopropyl alcohol solution to remove any polishing oils or residue. This ensures that the coating bonds directly to the paint without interference.
4. Coating Application
We apply the ceramic coating in a controlled environment using precise techniques to ensure even coverage and proper curing. Multiple layers may be applied depending on the selected coating package. The result is a high-gloss, durable finish that protects for years.
The Benefits of Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating offers an unmatched combination of aesthetics, protection, and ease of maintenance. Some of the key benefits include:
Long-Term Protection
Ceramic coatings form a semi-permanent bond with the vehicle’s paint, offering protection that can last up to five years or more with proper care. This shields the paint from harmful elements such as UV rays, acid rain, bug splatter, and bird droppings.
Hydrophobic Properties
One of the most noticeable effects of ceramic coating is its water-repelling ability. Water beads up and rolls off the surface, taking dirt and grime with it. This not only keeps the vehicle cleaner for longer but also makes regular maintenance significantly easier.
Enhanced Gloss and Depth
Ceramic coating enhances the visual appeal of a vehicle by increasing the depth, clarity, and shine of the paint. The finish looks wet and glossy, often appearing better than the day the car left the dealership.
Resistance to Contaminants
Thanks to its slick surface, ceramic coating resists common contaminants like brake dust, tree sap, and tar. These elements are less likely to bond to the surface, reducing the risk of staining and etching.
