Professional Ceramic Coating Services In Dallas

A ceramic car coating provides a durable layer that enhances paint glossiness while offering exceptional resistance against contaminants, scratches, and UV exposure.

What Is A Ceramic Coating?

To gain a better understanding of ceramic coatings, it's helpful to first examine the most common paint-protection products available in the market. Wax is an organic substance that comes in different forms, ranging from traditional paste to quick-and-easy sprays. For decades, "waxing" a car has been synonymous with keeping it looking shiny and new.

Unfortunately, wax is not very durable and hence must be applied several times a year. Sealants, on the other hand, are synthetic and designed to last for several months. They are easy to apply, but generally do not offer the same deep shine that a quality wax provides.

However, both wax and sealants are outperformed by a ceramic coating. This silica-based liquid polymer is applied by hand and hardens to create a protective layer that can be effective for several years if properly maintained.

The Benefits of Installing a Ceramic Coating

There are many coating companies out there that make big claims about what their products can do. While there is some truth to the claims, I prefer not to oversell the capabilities of coatings. However, there are some benefits that you can actually get from using a coating:

- Durable Protection: Offers the most durable protection that lasts between 5-7 years.
- Semi Permanent: You only need to apply it once, unlike other forms of protection that require reapplication every 3 months.
- Enhanced Gloss: Provides an unmatched deep level of gloss that cannot be compared to other forms of protection like wax or sealant.
- Effortless Maintenance: Provides hydrophobic properties that keep your car cleaner and make it easier to maintain.

To properly install a coating on your vehicle, it is essential to have the surface correctly prepped and corrected. This can be achieved through one of our paint correction services. If the coating is applied without the proper preparation, you won't be able to enjoy all its benefits.

This is where a professional ceramic coating installer comes in. If the coating is not correctly installed, you will not get the full benefits, and you'll notice smudges all over your vehicle. These smudges are known as "high spots," and they occur when the coating is not wiped off after being left to dry for too long.

As a general rule, the more durable the coating, the more challenging it is to install. For example, a 9-year coating is more challenging to install than a 1-year coating.

It's crucial to understand the weather variables as they can significantly impact the installation process. Different coatings react differently to humidity, cold, and heat.

We prefer to do our coating installations at our shop location. This way, we can control most of the working conditions.

FAQs of Ceramic Coating

Can I install Ceramic Coating Myself?

Applying a ceramic coating to your vehicle is a relatively simple process, but the real challenge lies in performing the paint correction process. It is essential to have the right skills and knowledge to polish your car properly.

Using the wrong pads or compounds can cause significant damage to the paintwork, resulting in holograms or buffer trails that will prevent you from achieving a smooth finish. Therefore, it is crucial to be careful and use the right tools to ensure that your vehicle looks flawless.

Professional installation of a ceramic coating is crucial to enjoy its benefits. High spots, caused by not wiping off the coating after it dries, can ruin the finish. A professional installer can ensure a flawless finish.

Should I Ceramic Coat A New Car?

Yes, it is recommended to have your car coated right after purchase. This can save you both time and money in the long run as you will require less paint correction or prep work.

Additionally, the ceramic coating provides extra protection to your car's exterior and helps maintain its brand new appearance with minimal maintenance.

This is achieved by making your vehicle easier to clean and more resilient to environmental damage.

What Is The Best Ceramic Coating?

When it comes to selecting the right coating for your vehicle, there are many options available. While several companies claim to offer the best coatings, any coating can fail if not professionally prepared.

At our shop, we use System X Ceramic Coating, which is a 7-year coating. Please note that the coatings we use are not available for purchase online or in-store. As we have exclusive access to these coatings, we strive to provide better quality coatings to our customers. I

n terms of professional applications, nano ceramic coating (also known as 9H ceramic coating) usually provides the longest-lasting protection. With proper care and maintenance, it can last up to five years or more.

Can I get only the Ceramic Coating With No Paint Correction?

It is crucial to perform a paint correction before applying a ceramic coating on a vehicle. This process involves one or multiple polishing steps to eliminate any swirls or webbing. The paint will be leveled to the depth of the scratch or swirl before the ceramic coating is applied.

Neglecting this step will magnify any defects in the paintwork tenfold by the ceramic coating. To ensure the best results, the vehicle's paintwork must be thoroughly prepped before coating. Without proper preparation, the coating may bond to an unclean surface, leading to a shorter lifespan and a suboptimal outcome.

Is Ceramic Coating Worth it?

Ceramic coating is an investment worth every penny. It provides excellent protection against environmental damage and corrosion, ensuring the integrity of your vehicle's paint for a long time. Investing in ceramic coating services is a good practice to ensure that your vehicle maintains its glossy appearance, similar to when it was brand new.

Moreover, it makes maintaining your vehicle ten times easier than a non-coating vehicle, and it can significantly increase its resale value. In short, ceramic coating is a great way to protect your vehicle and keep it looking like new for years to come.

What are the advantages of doing a coating?

Clints often opt in for ceramic coatings due to their long-lasting protection. These coatings create a hard shell that acts as a barrier, preventing water stains, bird droppings, road grime, and other substances from damaging the paint. With a quick rinse, these substances can just slide right off the surface.

The word "hydrophobic" is worth mentioning here. Though the word "phobic" may have a negative connotation, in this case, it's all positive. A ceramic coating can create a hydrophobic layer that repels water, which means that mineral deposits and dirt have less opportunity to damage the paint surface.
