CERAMIC COATING

Surface preservation, refined.

Ceramic coating is a durable, high-gloss protective layer designed to preserve painted surfaces against contamination, fading, water spotting, and environmental exposure. It enhances gloss, repels water, and simplifies long-term maintenance.

At Detali, ceramic coating is applied as a surface preservation system.  Preparation is explicit. Paint correction is addressed first.  Execution follows a fixed standard.

CERAMIC COATING COVERAGE

Ceramic coating is applied as a surface preservation system, not a cosmetic upgrade.

Pricing reflects coating type, surface condition, and the level of preparation required before application.

ASSESSMENT BASED SYSTEMS

Coverage systems that require in-person evaluation before scope and pricing are defined. Vehicle use, exposure, and surface condition determine final execution.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01

How long does ceramic coating last?

Longevity depends on coating type, surface preparation, and exposure. Multi-year systems are designed to maintain performance for several years with proper care.

02

Is paint correction required before ceramic coating?

Yes. Surface defects must be addressed before coating to ensure clarity, bonding, and long-term performance.

03

Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

Ceramic coatings reduce minor surface abrasion but are not impact-proof. They are designed for preservation, not physical impact protection.

04

Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?

Yes. Ceramic coatings are often applied over Paint Protection Film to enhance gloss and simplify maintenance.

05

How should I maintain a ceramic-coated vehicle?

Regular hand washing and proper drying techniques are recommended. We provide care guidance after installation.
