8 Reasons to Ceramic Coat Your Vehicle
YOUR VEHICLE'S NEW CAR LOOK IS LOCKED IN
Ceramic coating doesn't mean your vehicle never gets dirty. It means it stays cleaner longer, maintains that deep gloss, and is much easier to bring back to that freshly detailed look.
YOUR VEHICLE IS EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN
Dirt, grime, and road film have a harder time sticking to the surface.
You can stop waxing your vehicle 2–4 times a year
Ceramic coating gives you long-term protection without constantly reapplying wax or sealants
It can save you money over time
Instead of continually buying products and spending hours maintaining your vehicle, one professional coating can protect it for years.
It adds a hardened layer of protection
Your clear coat takes a beating every day. Ceramic coating adds another layer between your paint and the outside world.
It protects against damaging UV exposure
UV rays can fade and dull your paint over time. Ceramic coating helps protect the finish and preserve its shine.
Bugs and environmental contaminants are easier to remove
Bug guts, bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants are much easier to deal with when they aren't sitting directly on unprotected clear coat.
Washing your vehicle becomes faster and easier
Less scrubbing. Less fighting stuck-on grime. More time actually enjoying your clean vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections and blemishes from a vehicle’s paint work and restoring it to its original condition. The process is complex, time consuming, and labor-intensive but when done by a professional, the results are impressive.
If you have noticed scratches or what may look like a swirl on your car, paint correction in Roanoke, VA will fix that and make the paint free and clear again. Once it is free of blemishes, it’s a good time to consider a protective coating such as ceramic coating or paint protection film.
Why is the paint correction process so lengthy? Well, it entails several steps to get it just right, especially if you want the paint truly corrected rather than merely have the scratches filled. A proper paint correction job can take anywhere from 5 to 30 hours depending on the damage that needs corrected.

The first step is always a thorough wash to remove all loose dirt and debris from the car’s paint surface. This is done with gentle soap formulated for car care. Then the vehicle is dried with soft towels before moving to the next step.
Next, an iron remover is sprayed to further decontaminate the paint. This is rinsed off before moving to the next step which is the clay bar. Claying the paintwork will safely remove any stubborn surface contaminants that the wash was not able to remove.

Now we can see what we’re working with. All of the previous steps have cleared away any residue from the car’s surface and what remains is the true condition of the vehicle’s paintwork. A thorough inspection will help determine what kind of paint correction is needed. Depending on the depth of scratches and imperfections, various techniques will be needed to level the paint and achieve best results.
Each vehicle is unique, and our detailing specialists can determine the best course of action, but generally polishing and buffing are required next in the process. In some more serious cases, wet-sanding and re-leveling is provided for deep scratches. Another several rounds of polishing and buffing will be needed to get the paint looking just right. Starting with a rougher grain and working to a finer one, the paint is polished and buffed 2 to 4 times.

Finally, each panel of the car is wiped down with a degreasing solution such as isopropyl alcohol. This dissolves any remaining oily residue and reveals the final finish, properly corrected. A professionally corrected paint surface will shine and reflect clearly now that there are no imperfections to scatter the light.
Now that the paint correction is done, a high-quality protection such as a ceramic coating or paint protection film will preserve the hard work done and make your vehicle’s shine last for years to come. If you’re not sure which protective option is best for your car, talk to one of our auto detailing specialists. We are passionate about cars and can help you determine which option will best suit your vehicle and your goals for your ride.
