One of the best ways to protect your vehicle’s paint from the scorching sun, humidity and environmental contaminants in Brisbane is ceramic coating. But before you can enjoy its long-lasting light-reflective protection, it’s important to get your car ready. With the proper preparation, the best finish may fail to adhere — or perform as promised. Whether you’re doing it yourself or getting a professional job, knowing the steps of preparation is crucial. This is how you can prepare your car for ceramic protection car Brisbane.
Start with a Thorough Wash
The first best step is a good wash of your car’s exterior. Use a neutral car shampoo and do not use dish washing soap which can remove the paint or leave residue behind. A thorough wash gets rid of dirt, bird droppings, road grime, and other pollutants that would interfere with the bonding process of the coating.
Look for less conspicuous places like under mirrors, inside door jambs and along trim lines where grime can be trapped. This is particularly so in Brisbane where dust and pollen are naturally common.
Decontaminate with a Clay Bar
Your car’s paint can still feel rough after washing from inset contaminants like industrial fallout, tree sap, and brake dust. You can do this with a clay bar treatment, which will pick up these microscoping particles. The clay effortlessly moves across the surface with a lubricant and grabs any contaminants that washing left behind. This is actually a crucial step as one applies ceramic protection car Brisbane services, as it is imperative that the coating is applied to a smooth, contaminant-free surface.
Paint Correction
In Brisbane’s full sun swirl marks and fine scratches stand out, particularly on dark paint. Ceramic coating will seal everything under it, flaws included, so you have to address the imperfections first. Paint correction is done with a machine to cut out the swirls, oxidation and any imperfections in the clear coat. And if you have moderate to dense inperfections on your paint, a pro detailer can offer a single- or multi-stage correction based on your paint’s health.
Degrease the Surface
The paint surface has to be perfectly “clean” (dry) before the application of the ceramic coating. A paint prep solution (usually a mixture of isopropyl alcohol [IPA]) is the final wipedown of surfaces. This last wipe will leave a chemically clean surface for the ceramic coating to adhere to properly.
By skipping this part you may end up with patchy or short lived coating, especially in the hot and humid climate of Brisbane where adhesion is the key to long lasting coating.
