If you’re an avid car enthusiast, you probably want your vehicle to look its best at all times. And this is where ceramic coating comes in – the ultimate solution for long-lasting protection and a shiny finish.
But before you go ahead with the ceramic coating treatment, there are a few important steps you need to take to ensure the best results. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about preparing your car for a ceramic coating treatment.
Step 1: Thoroughly Wash Your Car
Before August Precision can begin with the ceramic coating treatment, your car needs to be thoroughly washed and cleaned. This is an essential step as any dirt, debris or contaminants on the surface of your car can interfere with the bonding process of the coating. Use a high-quality car shampoo and a microfiber wash mitt to gently scrub away any grime, dust, and dirt from your car’s exterior. After washing, make sure to completely dry your car.
Step 2: Decontaminate Your Car’s Paintwork
One of the most important steps to ensure a flawless ceramic coating is removing any contaminants from your car’s paintwork. This includes tar, bugs, tree sap, and other stubborn substances that can stick to your car’s surface. Use a clay bar or a dedicated decontamination solution to remove these impurities.
Step 3: Polish Your Car
To achieve the best possible finish, it’s recommended to polish your car before applying a ceramic coating. This step will help remove any fine scratches or swirl marks from your car’s paintwork, giving it a smooth and glossy surface for the coating to bond with.
Step 4: Apply Paint Protection Film
For an extra layer of protection, consider applying paint protection film (PPF) to your car before the ceramic coating. PPF is a transparent film that acts as a barrier against scratches, stone chips, and other minor damages. This will not only enhance the durability of your ceramic coating but also keep your car looking brand new for longer.
Step 5: Wipe Down With Isopropyl Alcohol
Now that your car is clean, decontaminated and polished, the next step is to wipe it down with a high concentration of isopropyl alcohol. This will remove any remaining oils or residues on the surface of your car, allowing for a stronger bond between the ceramic coating and your car’s paintwork.
Step 6: Leave Your Car to Dry
After wiping down your car with isopropyl alcohol, it’s essential to let it dry completely before applying the ceramic coating. Any moisture on the surface can also interfere with the bonding process and affect the final result.
