Proper surface preparation is critical and non-negotiable. The coating can only perform as well as the surface it’s applied to, so we start with thorough decontamination to remove any existing wax, sealants, or surface contaminants.
Paint correction follows if needed—ceramic coating won’t hide existing imperfections, so any swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation must be addressed first. This often involves multi-stage polishing to achieve a flawless base. For marine applications, gelcoat restoration may be necessary to ensure optimal adhesion and appearance.
We perform the entire process in our climate-controlled facility to eliminate dust and environmental contamination during application. This preparation phase often takes longer than the actual coating application, but it’s what separates professional results from disappointing outcomes.
