FAQ image

What can a ceramic coating protect against?

Ceramic coatings protect against environmental contaminants. It provides resistance to UV rays, preventing oxidation and fading over time. Ceramic coatings protect against staining, road salts, bird droppings, and tree sap. When installed, the coating creates a chemical-resistant surface, making it easier to clean. Ceramic coatings provide a high level of hydrophobic protection, allowing for water to bead up and roll off the surface, reducing the likelihood of water spots and mineral deposits forming on the paint – this is important in areas with hard water. 

FAQ image

How long does ceramic coating last?

A ceramic coating can last anywhere from 6 months to a lifetime. The longevity of a ceramic coating largely depends on the quality of the product used, the application process, and the care taken to maintain it. A high-quality, layerable coating will last a few years with proper maintenance. Check our Ceramic Pro Packages to discover what is the best option for your car.

FAQ image

Does the quality of a ceramic coating really matter? 

A high-quality coating matters significantly for a vehicle’s maintenance and overall appearance. Higher-quality coatings provide superior durability and forms a stronger, and more resilient bond with your vehicle’s paint. This creates a robust layer that can withstand environmental contaminants and UV rays far more effectively and for a longer period of time. Higher-quality coatings are also far more resistant to chemicals than cheaper and lower-quality coatings. This means that higher quality coatings ensure that your paint is truly protected from contaminants, long-term. 

FAQ image

What is the difference between DIY and professional ceramic coatings?

Professional-grade ceramic coatings, which are applied by experienced detailers, tend to last longer than consumer-grade products. Professional-grade products typically offer superior protection against environmental contaminants, and UV rays due to the higher concentration of certain ingredients in professional coatings. Professional coatings are engineered to be layerable, allowing for longer-lasting protection. On the other hand, DIY coatings offer less durability, often needing reapplication after a few months. 

FAQ image

How do I maintain a ceramic coating?

Maintenance is important in determining how long a ceramic coating will last. Regular maintenance using pH-neutral soaps, avoiding abrasive cleaning methods, and periodic maintenance with products designed to work with ceramic coatings can extend the life of the coating. With professional coatings, annual inspections are necessary to extending the longevity of your coating.

FAQ image

What products can I use to maintain my ceramic coating?

Using an aftercare soap, like Americana Global Ceramic Aftercare Soap, that has been formulated to work with professional-grade nano ceramic coatings. This soap in particular, is a pH-neutral formulation with aggressive surfactants that remove contaminants that settle on ceramic coatings, leaving behind a crisp and clean surface. This Ceramic Aftercare Soap allows the ceramic coating to maintain and showcase its hydrophobic and protective qualities. 

FAQ image

What are the things I need to avoid when the Ceramic Coating is done?

After getting a Ceramic Pro installation, you should avoid:

Automatic car washes: The brushes can scratch the coating; always hand wash your car instead. 

Harsh chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaning products, waxes, or polishes that could damage the coating. 

Letting water dry on the surface: This includes tap water, which can leave mineral spots; always dry your car thoroughly after washing. 

Parking under trees: Bird droppings, sap, and pollen can damage the coating if left on for too long

Abrasive cleaning methods: Avoid using rough sponges, dirty microfiber cloths, or aggressive drying techniques. 

DIY detailing practices: Unless you are very experienced, avoid attempting to polish or wax your ceramic coated car yourself. 

Not using dedicated car wash products: Use a pH-balanced car wash soap specifically designed for ceramic coatings.

FAQ image

What is PPF?

Paint protection film, also known as clear bra, clear wrap, or paint shield, is a transparent yet resilient film applied seamlessly to your vehicle’s exterior. PPF effectively shields your car’s paint from a variety of hazards, including bird droppings, UV-ray exposure, bug splatters, as well as chips and scratches caused by road debris and rocks. The top layer of this urethane film features “self-healing” properties through elastomeric polymers, reverting to its pristine, pre-incident condition, even when scratched.

FAQ image

Why is PPF so expensive?

To better understand the price tag of PPF, we need to talk about what goes into the installation process. PPF installation requires thorough prep work in order to ensure that all dust and debris has been removed. This allows the film to properly adhere to the applied surface. Each piece of PPF is custom cut to fit each panel of your vehicle and provide maximum coverage. The quality of the film and the quality of the installation are what gives paint protection film a high price tag. 

FAQ image

How important is a good paint protection film installation?

The more skilled the installation is, the longer your film will last. A highly skilled technician will likely wrap the edges of the film around each panel of your vehicle, providing a seamless appearance and longer lasting protection. When the edges are tucked, it reduces the likelihood that the film will lift. 

FAQ image

What are the benefits of paint protection film?

Paint protection film protects your vehicle from scratches, rock chips, staining, corrosion, fading, chemicals, insects, and road debris. It helps keep your paint looking like new, saving you money and improving your resale value. A good quality PPF has self-healing properties that allow small scratches to disappear with the application of heat.

Customize Your Ride with Car Wrap, Ceramic Coating, and Wheels Powder Coating

Have you ever dreamt of giving your car a fresh, unique look that sets it apart from the crowd? Well, dream no more because at our shop, we specialize in transforming vehicles into stunning works of art. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a Mercedes-Benz CLS63, and the results were truly remarkable. In this blog post, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of how we completely revamped this luxury sedan with a full color change, a captivating car wrap, repainted calipers, and wheels powder coated to perfection.

Full Color Change: A Bold Statement

The first step in this Mercedes-Benz CLS63 transformation was the full color change. The car's original black exterior was stunning, but the owner desired a more eye-catching appearance. To achieve this, we decided to go with a striking matte metallic blue wrap. The matte finish added a touch of elegance, while the metallic blue hue exuded confidence and sophistication. This bold color choice would undoubtedly make the vehicle stand out on the road.

Car Wrap Color Change

Car Wrap: Unleashing Creativity

Installing the car wrap was a meticulous process that required utmost attention to detail. Our team of skilled professionals ensured that every contour and curve of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 was wrapped flawlessly. The vinyl wrap not only transformed the car's appearance but also provided an added layer of protection for the original paintwork. The result was a seamless and captivating finish that surpassed the owner's expectations.

Repainted Calipers: Harmonizing with the New Look

To complement the new color scheme of the car, we decided to revamp the calipers as well. We repainted them in the same captivating metallic blue color as the car wrap. The freshly painted calipers added a touch of coherence and sophistication to the overall aesthetics. Now, every time the wheels turned, glimpses of the vibrant blue peeked through, captivating the attention of onlookers.

Wheels Powder Coating: Elevating Style and Durability

The final touch to this remarkable transformation was the wheels powder coating. We opted for a glossy black finish that created a stunning contrast against the matte metallic blue of the car wrap. The wheels were carefully sandblasted to remove any remnants of the old finish, ensuring a pristine surface for the powder coating. Once the dry powder was expertly applied, the wheels went through a baking process, resulting in a durable, long-lasting, and flawless finish. The glossy black wheels provided the perfect balance between style and functionality.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the transformation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 was an awe-inspiring journey that showcased the power of car customization. With a full color change, an attention-grabbing car wrap, repainted calipers, and wheels powder coated to perfection, this luxury sedan underwent a jaw-dropping makeover. The end result was a head-turning masterpiece that turned heads wherever it went. At our shop, we take pride in our ability to bring our customers' automotive dreams to life.
