Before applying ceramic coating, your vehicle needs to be properly prepared to make sure the coating bonds correctly and lasts as long as it should. This usually starts with a full exterior wash to remove dirt and buildup, followed by a decontamination process to clear out anything stuck in the paint. In many cases, paint correction is recommended to remove swirl marks and imperfections so the surface is smooth and clean before coating.

Once the surface is fully prepped, the ceramic coating can be applied evenly and allowed to cure. Proper preparation is what makes the biggest difference in how the final result looks and how long the protection lasts.
