Our Process

The Ceramic Coating Process

Professional ceramic coating is a multi-step process that requires controlled conditions and trained technicians. Here is what happens when you bring your vehicle to Classic Shades for ceramic coating.

1

Consultation and Booking

Book online or call us to select your ceramic coating package. We will discuss your vehicle's condition, your protection goals, and the best package for your needs. Allow 1 to 2 days for coating packages.

2

Thorough Wash and Decontamination

Your vehicle receives a full hand wash followed by chemical decontamination to remove embedded contaminants, iron particles, and road film. This step is critical for proper coating adhesion.

3

One-Step Paint Correction

A machine polish removes minor swirl marks, light scratches, and surface imperfections from your paint. This step ensures the ceramic coating bonds to a clean, smooth surface and maximizes gloss.

4

Ceramic Coating Application

The ceramic coating is applied panel by panel across all exterior painted surfaces and wheels. Each panel is coated evenly and allowed to flash before being leveled. This creates a uniform, durable protective layer.

5

Curing and Inspection

The coating requires time to cure and bond to your paint. We perform a final inspection under controlled lighting to verify uniform coverage, proper gloss, and hydrophobic performance before releasing your vehicle.

6

Aftercare Instructions

We provide care instructions to help maintain your coating. Avoid washing for 7 days after application. Use pH-neutral car shampoo and avoid automatic car washes with abrasive brushes to preserve the coating's longevity.
