How does ceramic coating relate to car detailing?
Quick answer: Ceramic coating is a form of paint protection that sits at the end of the detailing process: after the car has been carefully washed, decontaminated and machine polished, the coating is applied to lock in the finish, add lasting protection and make it easier to keep clean.
Your car must be buffed, polished and thoroughly detailed before any kind of coating can be applied. Car detailing is the essential part of the process. The coating will seal in the condition of the car, so your ceramic coating will only be as good as the detailing. It is important to trust your car to somebody who you know can make your car like new again before the ceramic coating is applied.
