Ceramic Coating Excellence
Unmatched gloss and long-term protection for a high-performance masterpiece.
Overview
A client in Ballantyne approached us with their brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo S. Although the car was straight from the dealership, the Jet Black Metallic paint already showed signs of "swirl marks" from improper dealership washing.
The owner wanted to not only correct these imperfections but also lock in that "wet look" shine for years to come, drastically reducing the maintenance required to keep the car looking showroom-ready.
Client Goals
- Eliminate visible swirl marks and surface scratches.
- Achieve extreme depth and gloss on the black paintwork.
- Protect the vehicle from environmental fallout and ease future cleaning.
The Solution
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Before coating, we performed a rigorous 2-step paint correction process to remove swirl marks, holograms, and minor scratches, ensuring a flawless foundation.
5-Year Ceramic Protection
Applied a premium 9H ceramic coating to the paint, glass, and wheels. This creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and road grime.
UV & Chemical Resistance
The coating provides a sacrificial layer that protects the clear coat from harmful UV rays, bird droppings, and acidic contaminants that can etch the paint.
Process Highlights
1. Decontamination Wash
A thorough hand wash and clay bar treatment to remove embedded iron particles and industrial fallout from the paint surface.
2. Paint Correction
Machine polishing to level the clear coat, removing imperfections and restoring deep, mirror-like gloss to the black paint.
3. Coating Application
Precise, hand-application of the ceramic coating in a controlled environment to ensure even coverage and proper curing.
4. Curing & Inspection
The vehicle is kept indoors for 24 hours to allow the coating to bond fully, followed by a final quality control inspection.
