Ceramic coating is an incredibly popular choice among car enthusiasts and owners who want to achieve a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects your vehicle’s paint and withstands the test of time. At Avatar Auto Care in Surrey, we offer professional ceramic coating services to enhance and protect the appearance of your vehicle, truck or motorcycle.
Ceramic Coating – also known as Nano Ceramic Coating – is a revolutionary advancement in automotive protection and aesthetics. It’s a liquid polymer that is carefully applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle, including the paintwork, metal trim, and even glass surfaces. The coating contains nanotechnology particles that bond with the vehicle’s painted surface on a molecular level, creating a strong and durable layer of protection, while giving your vehicle a high-gloss, candy coated shine.
This thin protective layer acts as a shield, guarding the paintwork against a wide range of external elements. Ceramic coating forms a chemically resistant barrier that helps to prevent damage from UV rays, oxidation, road grime, bird droppings, tree sap, insect splatters, and other contaminants, taking the brunt of these hazards, while sparing the underlying paint from harm.
The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coating is another remarkable feature. This means the coating repels water and other liquids, causing them to bead up and roll off the surface. The hydrophobic effect creates a self-cleaning property, as water droplets carry away dirt and debris, leaving behind a clean and glossy surface. This not only makes the vehicle easier to clean but also reduces the chances of water spots or stains.
Beyond its protective qualities, ceramic coating also enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle. The coating creates an incredible depth and clarity, amplifying the colour and gloss of the paintwork. The result is a mesmerizing mirror-like finish that truly transforms the appearance of the vehicle. The enhanced shine makes the vehicle stand out from the crowd and gives it a showroom-worthy look.
It’s important to note that ceramic coating is not a mere cosmetic enhancement; it is a long-term investment in the overall well-being of your vehicle. The durability of ceramic coating means that it can last for several years, providing ongoing protection and beauty. However, proper maintenance and regular care are essential to maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of the ceramic coating.
Ceramic coating offers a range of benefits that make it a popular choice among car owners. Here’s a list of the top 6 benefits of ceramic coating for your vehicle:
Ceramic coating provides a durable barrier against various environmental elements. It shields your vehicle’s paintwork from harmful UV rays, which can cause fading and oxidation over time. It also protects against acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants that can etch or damage the paint surface. With ceramic coating, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safeguarded against these hazards.
Ceramic coating can transform the appearance of your vehicle by enhancing its gloss and shine. The coating forms a transparent layer that magnifies the paint’s depth and clarity, giving it a luxurious, glossy finish. It creates an incredibly reflective surface that makes your vehicle stand out, resembling a showroom-worthy shine.
One of the remarkable features of ceramic coating is its hydrophobic nature. The coating creates a slick, smooth surface that repels water and dirt. When it rains or when you wash your car, water droplets bead up and roll off the surface, carrying away dirt and grime with it. This makes cleaning your vehicle much easier and reduces the chances of water spots or stains.
Ceramic coatings are known for their durability and longevity. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that may wear off after a few months, ceramic coatings can last for several years with proper maintenance. They bond chemically with the paint surface, forming a strong protective layer that withstands the test of time and keeps your vehicle looking pristine.
With ceramic coating, maintaining the cleanliness of your vehicle becomes easier than ever. The hydrophobic properties repel dirt, dust, and grime, making it harder for them to adhere to the surface of your vehicle. This means you’ll spend less time and effort on regular washing, and dirt can be easily rinsed off with a gentle stream of water. Additionally, the smooth surface of the coating minimizes the accumulation of contaminants, making routine cleaning a breeze.
Ceramic coatings offer resistance against various chemicals, including acidic contaminants that can etch into the paintwork. This protection extends to chemical stains, such as road tar, insect splatters, and fuel spills. The coating acts as a barrier, preventing these substances from penetrating and causing long-term damage to your vehicle’s paint.
By opting for ceramic coating, you not only ensure the long-term protection of your vehicle but also elevate its visual appearance. The combination of environmental defense, hydrophobic properties, enhanced glossiness, longevity, ease of maintenance, and resistance to chemicals makes ceramic coating a worthwhile investment for car owners seeking optimal protection and a stunning finish.
The application of ceramic coating is a meticulous process that requires careful attention to detail and proper surface preparation. At Avatar Auto Care, our trained technicians follow a comprehensive and multi-step approach to ensure the best results.
The first step in the application process is thorough cleaning and decontamination of the vehicle’s surfaces. This involves washing the exterior with high-quality automotive cleaners to remove dirt, grime, and any existing coatings. Additionally, a clay bar or decontamination is done to eliminate embedded contaminants, such as tar, bug residue, and industrial fallout.
As part of our ceramic coating service, we include a 1-stage paint correction process. This helps to address minor imperfections in the paintwork, such as light swirl marks and light scratches. However, it’s important to note that if the vehicle has deep swirl marks or more significant paint damage, a 2 or 3-stage paint correction may be necessary. During the appointment, our technicians will assess the condition of the paint prior to the appointment starts and advise you accordingly, ensuring transparency and clarity on the recommended level of paint correction and costs.
Once the surface has been properly cleaned and prepared, the ceramic coating is carefully applied. Our technicians use specialized applicators and techniques to ensure even and thorough coverage. The ceramic coating is gently and evenly spread onto the surface, forming a thin, transparent layer that bonds with the paintwork. It is during this application process that the coating’s hydrophobic and protective properties are activated.
After the ceramic coating is applied, it is left to cure overnight. This curing process is mandatory and allows the coating to form a strong bond with the paintwork, creating a durable and long-lasting protective barrier. Once the coating has fully cured, the vehicle is meticulously inspected to ensure a flawless finish. Any necessary touch-ups or additional applications are made to guarantee uniform coverage and optimal results.
Please note that the condition of the vehicle’s paintwork may vary, and in some cases, a more extensive paint correction process may be recommended. Our technicians will assess the condition of the paint during the appointment and provide guidance on the best course of action. Ultimately, the decision to proceed with a 2 or 3-stage paint correction will be left to the client, ensuring transparency and personalized service.
