A coating is only as good as the prep
A ceramic locks in whatever is underneath, so the surface has to be flawless before a drop goes on.
We Correct the Paint
Swirls, light scratches, and oxidation get polished out first. Coating over a flawed surface just seals the flaws in for good.
Then We Decontaminate & Wipe
A full wash, chemical decon, and panel wipe strip every trace of oil and residue so the coating bonds to bare clear coat, not a film sitting on top of it.
After That, We Apply the Coating
Gtechniq goes on by hand, one panel at a time, in a controlled space with no dust in the air to land in the finish.
Finally, We Cure & Inspect
The coating cures under controlled conditions, then we inspect every panel under proper lighting before the car leaves.
Start with a flawless surface
A coating seals in whatever is underneath. Pairing your ceramic with paint correction first means you lock in a swirl-free, mirror finish, not the defects.
Common Ceramic Coating questions
What does a ceramic coating actually do?
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint and cures into a hard, slick layer over the factory clear coat. That layer is hydrophobic, so water and dirt bead up and slide off instead of sticking, which makes the car far easier to keep clean. It also adds real depth and gloss and shields the paint from UV, bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime. It is not a force field, it will not stop rock chips, but it takes the daily chemical and environmental abuse that would otherwise dull your paint over time.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
That depends on the coating tier you choose, how the car is stored, and how it is maintained. We install tiered coatings, and the higher tiers hold up longer than an entry-level one. Kept out of the weather and washed properly, a good coating keeps performing for years rather than months. What shortens it is automatic brush washes, harsh chemicals, and neglect. When we look at your car we will give you an honest picture of what to expect for your situation and how to get the most out of it.
Do I still have to wash my car after a coating?
Yes, and that catches people off guard. A coating makes washing easier and less frequent, not unnecessary. Dirt and contaminants still land on the surface, they just release far more easily. The coating actually rewards proper maintenance, so a gentle hand wash keeps it performing at its best. What you want to avoid is automatic brush washes and harsh chemicals, which wear it down faster than anything else.
How is a ceramic coating different from wax or a sealant?
Wax and sealants sit on top of the paint and wash away or break down in weeks to a few months, so you are reapplying constantly. A ceramic coating chemically bonds and cures into a much harder, longer-lasting layer, with far better water beading, gloss, and protection against UV and contaminants. It is a bigger job up front and a real step up in performance. Think of wax as a short-term shine and a coating as lasting protection.
Does my paint need to be corrected first?
Usually, yes, and this is the step that separates a good coating job from a bad one. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so any swirls, scratches, or oxidation get sealed in and put on display under that glossy layer. We assess the paint first and correct what it needs before we coat, so what gets locked in is your paint at its best. We will tell you honestly what your car needs rather than coating over problems.
