At Teddy Prestige Detail Stop, we understand the value of maintaining your vehicle’s pristine condition and enhancing its durability. That’s why our ceramic coating services are designed not only to protect your car’s paint but also to give it that captivating, glossy finish that stands out on the road. Here’s a detailed look at how we apply ceramic coating at our shop located at 559 Pennsylvania Ave, York, PA.

Step 1: Deep Cleaning And Washing

Every successful ceramic coating application starts with a deep clean. Our team meticulously washes your car using premium shampoos and cleaning agents, paying extra attention to remove all contaminants that normal washing won’t get rid of. This ensures that the surface of your car is free of any substances that could interfere with the coating process.

Step 2: Paint Decontamination

Following the wash, we move on to decontaminating the paint. This stage is crucial as it involves removing microscopic contaminants that have bonded with the paint over time. Using specialized clay bars, we gently treat the surface to achieve a level of cleanliness that is necessary for the next steps.

Step 3: Paint Correction

Before applying the ceramic coating, it’s essential that the paint is flawless. Our skilled technicians perform a detailed paint correction to eliminate any imperfections, such as swirl marks, scratches, and etchings. This process not only ensures that the ceramic coating adheres properly but also helps in achieving that mirror-like finish.

Step 4: Applying The Ceramic Coating

The application of the ceramic coating is where the magic happens. At Teddy Prestige Detail Stop, we use only high-grade ceramic coatings that are suited for your car’s specific needs. The coating is applied evenly with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring thorough coverage on every inch of your vehicle’s exterior.

Step 5: Curing The Coating

After the ceramic coating is applied, it needs to cure. This process is vital as it allows the coating to fully bond with the paint, providing a hard protective layer that is resistant to weather, UV rays, and chemicals. The curing process typically takes 24 to 48 hours, during which the car should remain dry and out of direct sunlight.

Step 6: Quality Assurance And Final Touches

Post-curing, our team inspects the vehicle thoroughly. This final check ensures that the coating has been perfectly applied and the finish meets our high standards. Any tweaks needed are addressed promptly to ensure customer satisfaction.
