Briones, California: One of the biggest questions is whether you can install ceramic and graphene coatings at the customer’s location, versus at a local detail shop. The short answer is yes but with caveats. Long answer, read below.

Our expert testing and analysis is that Ceramic and Graphene coatings for vehicles require strict temperature and humidity control which can interfere with the bonding of the automotive coating. High temperature means that the coating bonds rapidly with the clear coat and has to be leveled out very quickly. Meanwhile, humidity can instantly harden a coating or create very uneven high spots on the clear coat of the vehicle. Regarding light dust, coatings are far more forgiving than paint protection films (PPF) and do not require installation inside the garage or in a covered location.

We started the coating installation by first giving the car a foam cannon wash and followed it up with a clay bar treatment to get rid of any above-surface contaminants. We followed the clay bar treatment by giving the Audi Q5 a one-step polishing that got rid of fine scratches and swirls while priming the paint for proper coating adherence.

Finally, we installed our signature 5-year graphene coatings which not only enhanced the gloss and slickness of the vehicle’s painted surfaces but also provided complete protection against bird bombs, tree sap, industrial fallout, and other sources of chemical damage.

The customers were excited to see how their new Audi Q5 looked better than new and gave them peace of mind of knowing that the car would be protected for years to come.

Cars, after our homes, are the second largest financial investment we make. Did you know that your car's cosmetics are valued at about 30% of its retail price and having a professional film, paint corrected, and ceramic coating installed on your vehicle can save you thousands of dollars in maintenance and cosmetic damage while maintaining a higher than normal resale value? Keeping a meticulous appearance using our paint correction expertise and protecting it using paint protection films (PPF) and coatings can put money back into your wallet!
