How can a damaged ceramic coating be repaired?
Quick answer: By spot-correcting the affected area - wash and decontaminate, machine-polish to remove the coating and any defects, then reapply the coating and allow it to cure. If damage is widespread, a full polish and re-coat may be advised.
It depends on the extent of the damage. Scratches, scuffs and dents can be repaired the same as on any car, and if repainting is required, the ceramic coating can be re-applied to the affected panel.
If you have managed to put wash marks in your ceramic coating, they can be polished out. However, as the paintwork is now so much harder than on a normal car, this can take more processes, using coarser compounds and is therefore labour intensive.
