Ceramic Coatings

Advanced, Innovative Paint Protection

What is a Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coatings are a solid, transparent, slick and self-cleaning silica-based protective layer. We offer coatings for every surface of your vehicle, including the interior.

Our quartz based ceramic coatings provide ease of maintenance and an incredible deep shine that lasts for years. Washing a coated car takes just minutes due to the extreme water beading. Bugs, tar, bird droppings and other contaminants will not be able to etch into your paint or cause rust issues, and your car will look brand new again every time you wash it.

How does it work?

After the vehicle is thoroughly prepped we begin to lay down the coating. It penetrates the porous structure of the paint and seals it, resulting in an extremely glossy and slick surface.

Gyeon ceramic coatings are extremely hard and chemical resistant. It cannot be washed off, or even polished off in most cases. The chemical resistance will prevent bugs, bird droppings, tar, and road grime from penetrating your clear coat and dulling, or even corroding, your paint.

Explore Our Entire Coating Process Below

  • Wheels, tires, and wheel arches are individually cleaned with specific cleaners, brushes, and chemicals.

  • The vehicle is treated for tar, bugs, and traffic, then coated in a thick layer of foam. This foam encapsulates the grime and then is rinsed off. We’ve just removed the bugs and tar without ever touching the paint.

  • Any small areas are cleaned with an extremely soft brush. This includes emblems, front grille, panel gaps, gas cap, and more.

  • The car wash washed from top to bottom using the two bucket method to ensure a scratch free wash.

  • This treatment dissolves iron and metal particles from your clear coat. These could be from brake dust, exhaust fumes, or any other junk found on the road.

  • Door jambs are thoroughly and deeply cleaned with a soft brush and soap, then gently rinsed along with the rest of the car.

  • We use air to be blow dry the air out of the grille, crevices, emblems, mirrors, and even your wheels and tires.

  • You car is dried using high quality microfibers for a quick, scratch free dry.

  • Clay bar is used to further remove solid contaminants from the pores of your clear coat.

  • Scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, and etching are removed from the clear coat with our polishing process, resulting in an incredible, deep shine that you’ve never seen on your car before.

  • We use Gyeon Prep spray to remove any polishing oils from the paint, leaving a bare surface for the coating to bond with

  • The coating is installed section by section and is a one layer system. Three very soft (and pricey) microfiber towels towels are used to level and buff the coating to a magnificent shine.

  • Wheels and arches are touched up, glass is cleaned, tires are dressed, and anything that will help tie it up to a finished product that we can proudly present to you.

 FAQs

  • If a ceramic coating is not applied properly it can be a very expensive fix. The coating has to be buffed off at the perfect time - not too soon, not too late - for it to properly bond to the paint. If it doesn’t cure properly then your car will be a blotchy, cloudy mess, and the coating can only be removed by heavy compounding and buffing. That service alone could be up to $4,000+. It’s safe to say that leaving it to a professional is a wise choice, and SM Auto Detailing happens to be certified by Gyeon to install their industry leading ceramic coatings.

  • There are many. Waxes and sealants are designed to fill the pores of the clear coat. This leaves you will a smooth finish and increases shine and water beading. The problem is that they don’t last more than 4 months and can be washed off very easily, providing you minimal protection and a lot of unnecessary work.

    A ceramic coating does not just fill the pores of your paint like wax, it hardens to create a new, perfectly smooth layer atop the clear coat; yes, ceramic coatings actually add thickness to your paintwork. This coating will not wash off like wax and sealant would.

  • Ceramic coatings offer some resistance to light scratches and swirl marks due to their hardness, but they are not scratch proof. Proper car care is still required to prevent swirl marks.

  • We offer coatings made specifically for:

    • Paint

    • PPF (Paint Protection Film)

    • Matte Paint

    • Wheels and calipers

    • Plastic trim

  • Machine carwashes are extremely abrasive and dirty. The excessive abrasion from the brushes will eventually cause swirl marks and can even remove the coating. If you want your coating to last as long as possible and you want to prevent swirl marks in the paint, avoid the carwash as much as possible.

  • It is recommended you hand wash the vehicle or use a touches car wash as much as possible. You can wash a coated car in about 15 minutes very easily due to the hydrophobic properties.

    Ceramic infused paint sealants are ready available at auto parts stores and even Wal-Mart, and they will help to prolong the life of the coating. We recommend you use these products every 6 months to help prolong the life of your ceramic coating, or we can come out and provide you an affordable and thorough wash.
