Best Exterior & Interior Car Detailing in Arlington, VA

When you’re searching for ceramic coating Fairfax you need a durable and reliable coating. At Detail Authority, we understand the desire for long-lasting brilliance and safeguarding your vehicle's paint job. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle. Composed of silicon dioxide or silica, this transparent layer chemically bonds with the car's factory paint, creating a durable shield. It forms a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants, thereby preventing them from adhering to the paint. The application process of ceramic coating involves several meticulous steps to ensure optimum results. First, the vehicle undergoes a thorough wash to eliminate any dirt, grime, or residue. Then, the paint is decontaminated to remove embedded particles using clay bars or chemical solutions. This step is crucial to achieving a clean surface for the coating to bond effectively. After preparing the paint, the ceramic coating is delicately applied using an applicator. Our technicians meticulously cover the vehicle panel by panel, ensuring even distribution and complete coverage. The coating is then left to cure, allowing it to bond with the paint and create a resilient layer. The curing process may take anywhere from a few hours to a day, depending on the specific product used. It provides protection against UV rays, oxidation, bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental pollutants, preserving the car's finish.
