What to Expect During the Ceramic Coating Process at Kearney Auto Restyling

Step 1: Thorough Wash and Decontamination

The first step in the ceramic coating process is a comprehensive wash of your vehicle. We start by thoroughly cleaning the wheels, paint, and engine bay to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants. This step is crucial for preparing the surface for the coating. We use specialized products such as iron removers to eliminate embedded particles in the paint and clay barring to ensure the surface is as smooth as possible. This decontamination process lays the groundwork for a successful application of the ceramic coating.

Step 2: Paint Inspection and Polishing

Once your vehicle is clean, we conduct a detailed inspection of the paint to assess its condition. Depending on the level of correction needed, we offer three options: Level I, Level II, and Level III paint correction. During this stage, we find the ideal polishing combination that best suits your vehicle’s needs and your expectations. Transparency is key, so we ensure that you are happy with the results before moving forward.

Step 3: Surface Preparation

After polishing, we need to prepare the surfaces for coating. This step is essential to ensure a strong bond between the ceramic coating and your vehicle. We use a specialized chemical to remove any polishing residues and soap that may still be present on the surface. By ensuring the surfaces are completely clean, we set the stage for optimal adhesion of the ceramic coating.

Step 4: Application of the Ceramic Coating

With the surfaces thoroughly prepped, we move onto the coating phase. We carefully apply the ceramic coating to all the surfaces outlined in the package you selected, which may include the paint, wheels, glass, trim, and door jambs. This process requires precision, as we aim to ensure even coverage and maximum protection.

Step 5: Soft Curing

After the ceramic coating is applied, we allow it to soft cure overnight. This step is critical as it ensures a proper bond between the coating and your vehicle’s surfaces before it is exposed to any environmental elements. It’s essential for the durability and effectiveness of the coating.

Step 6: Warranty Registration

To provide you with peace of mind about your investment, we register a warranty using your vehicle's VIN. This not only protects your ceramic coating but also ensures that you will receive the benefits of the warranty for the duration of its coverage.
