At August Precision, we turn sleek into stunning — and our latest project, this jet-black Mazda CX-50, is a perfect example of what happens when professional-grade ceramic coating meets expert application. From its aggressive stance to its shimmering gloss, this CX-50 now boasts more than just style — it’s shielded with cutting-edge surface protection.
Whether you’re new to ceramic coating or you’re considering it for your own vehicle, here’s what makes this treatment a game-changer for every car enthusiast.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle that chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a long-lasting layer of protection. Unlike wax, which wears off after a few weeks or months, ceramic coatings last for years and offer both aesthetic and protective benefits.
At August Precision, we use premium-grade nano-ceramic formulations that provide unmatched durability, hydrophobic performance, and intense gloss.
Why the Mazda CX-50 Was a Perfect Candidate
The Mazda CX-50 is a bold crossover with refined detailing and sporty undertones. While its black finish is stunning, it also tends to show dust, swirl marks, and water spots more than lighter colors. That’s where ceramic coating comes in.
By applying a ceramic layer, we’ve enhanced the vehicle’s:
-
Gloss and Depth: That jet-black shine now looks deeper, wetter, and glossier.
-
Hydrophobicity: Water beads right off the surface, reducing the risk of water spots and making wash maintenance a breeze.
-
UV Protection: The coating acts as a sunscreen for paint, preventing oxidation and fading from sun exposure.
-
Scratch Resistance: While not bulletproof, the ceramic layer helps reduce the risk of light swirl marks and micro-marring from regular washing.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
The transformation of this CX-50 wasn’t just about applying a product — it was about prepping and perfecting the surface first. Here’s how we brought it to perfection:
1. Decontamination Wash
We began with a thorough foam pre-wash followed by a two-bucket hand wash and iron removal to lift any bonded contaminants from the paint.
2. Paint Correction
Even new vehicles come with minor imperfections. Our specialists performed a single-stage paint correction to remove light swirl marks and refine the clarity of the paintwork before sealing it in.
3. Ceramic Coating Application
Using our signature ceramic formula, we applied the coating in controlled conditions, curing it panel by panel to ensure maximum bond and even coverage.
4. Cure & Final Inspection
After the initial cure period, we conducted a final inspection under various lighting conditions to ensure a flawless, streak-free finish.
How Long Does Ceramic Coating Last?
Our ceramic coating packages typically offer protection that lasts between 2 to 5 years depending on the product selected and proper maintenance. With this Mazda CX-50, the owner opted for a 5-year coating — ideal for drivers who want long-term peace of mind and visual impact.
Maintenance Tips for Coated Vehicles
To maximize the longevity of ceramic coating:
-
Use a pH-neutral car shampoo.
-
Avoid automatic car washes — go touchless or hand wash only.
-
Apply a ceramic booster spray every few months to refresh hydrophobicity.
-
Schedule periodic inspections with August Precision for top-ups or spot maintenance.
