Installing a Ceramic Coating Comes Down to the Process

Thorough Cleaning of the Vehicle

To ensure the best adhesion and hydrophobic performance of a ceramic coating, cleanliness is key. The installation process here at Glisten Clear Bra starts with a thorough hand wash of your vehicle's entire exterior, adding a meticulous removal of all traces of dirt, road wash grime, dust particles, and surface contaminants. In addition, we also employ a clay bar treatment on the vehicle's exterior to enhance surface purification. The clay bar process effectively eliminates embedded impurities that a standard wash might not, agitating and lifting them away with the clay.

Preparation with Buffing and Polishing

Once your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned, the next critical step in ceramic coating installation involves paint correction. We go on a mission to eliminate imperfections such as swirl marks, hazing, minor scratches, and other clear coat blemishes. Leveraging our expertise in paint correction and top-notch buffing and polishing techniques, we work diligently to achieve a smooth and flawless surface. The result of the Glisten Clear Bra paint correction effort means effective bonding of your ceramic coating and the vehicle’s finish will look richer and deeper in detail- often times better than new.

Application of Ceramic Coating and Curing

At the time we hand apply your ceramic coating, our skilled team uses the liquid ceramic coating formula combined with an applicator pad to hand install it across your finish. The systematic application of the coating to the vehicle's exterior results in consistent coverage across all areas included in your package. Hand application provides our team with the ability to control the installation precisely, preventing any oversight or over-application. We also conduct thorough checks for evenness during this phase so that when the vehicle is ready to cure, it will do so seamlessly and perfectly.

Ceramic Coatings at Glisten Clear Bra - Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a ceramic coating last?

    There are numerous variables determining longevity for ceramic coatings. The delicate balance of costs of installation, practicality, drivability, & maintenance requirements, are the ideal factors in determining current ceramic coating technologies. With a decade of data & experience, we at Glisten Clear Bra determine 5 year coatings are the optimal timeframe for the current advancements in the industry. The varying factors that impact the longevity of our ceramic coating include how your vehicle is stored, its cleanliness over time, and the general driving patterns it is subject to. A well-maintained ceramic coating, alongside high-quality application by our pro team, will result in a longer-lasting enhancement layer at the best value proposition possible. In fact, if we don’t believe you will practically benefit from ceramic, we promise to be upfront and tell you.

  • Will ceramic coatings provide some level of protection for my vehicle?

    First and foremost, it is important to know ceramic coatings are NOT scratch-proof like our PPF options. If you need tangible protection, you want PPF. The purpose of ceramic coating is to slow decay processes that take time to see the effects. Whereas PPF can protect from a rock chip that can happen suddenly, ceramic protects from forces like UV deterioration that take months & years to see the effects. Thus, ceramic is intended to seal the paint and preserve gloss. It will not protect from rock chips, scratches, and swirls like PPF. 

  • Can ceramic coatings be applied to any vehicle surface?

    Yes! Ceramic coatings are primarily intended for application on a vehicle's paint, where it provides superior shine and enhanced paint aesthetics. Additionally, this versatile vehicle coating can be extended to other surfaces such as PPF, glass, chrome trim, wheels, calipers, and even stripes & decals. Expanding its application to these areas can further enhance the overall beauty of your vehicle and long term visual appeal of the surfaces. So, while its primary focus is on the paint, ceramic coating does offer flexibility for additional surface protection.

  • Can I apply ceramic coating to a new vehicle?

    Absolutely! Ceramic coatings are a versatile solution that can be applied to both new and older vehicles. This is why our prep processes are so crucial in all of our services. A new vehicle typically needs less prep and paint correction than a used vehicle. The processes and goals can be different, but the benefits are always there. Remember: your vehicle will never be as new as it is right now. Right now is always the best time to protect and preserve.
