Benefits of a ceramic coating. Premium paint protection for my car.
November 28, 2020
Imagine the exterior of your glass always staying clean. Your night-time visibility is dramatically improved so you can now see more clearly. Bugs no longer bond themselves to your windshield, at highway speeds, water just sheets right off, and prevent water-spot build-up. Glass Coating is a top level paint conditioning and coating that provides 2+ years of protection. It protects painted surfaces of the vehicle from damaging UV light, acid rain, and prevents the adhesion of dirt, industrial fallout, contaminants, bird droppings, and bug particles. Value and beauty is maintained because the paint is not degraded by UV light. Paint itself is soft and has a few microns of unevenness; dirt, road tar, contaminants, and industrial fallout adhere to the paint easily. Quality glass coatings provide you with amazing levels of exterior protection in a way that nothing else will do. This liquid glass coating solution was one of the best possible options for not just cars, but for many types of automobiles in general. Shine and scratch protection is a great benefit but most of all – you will never have to apply car wax again! Liquid glass and other compounds enables this product to give your car a liquid glass effect which will protect it against weather, scratches, dust, spills and all those things that just no ordinary wax can fix.

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections and blemishes from a vehicle’s paint work and restoring it to its original condition.  The process is complex, time consuming, and labor-intensive but when done by a professional, the results are impressive. 


If you have noticed scratches or what may look like a swirl on your car, paint correction in Roanoke, VA will fix that and make the paint free and clear again. Once it is free of blemishes, it’s a good time to consider a protective coating such as ceramic coating or paint protection film.


Why is the paint correction process so lengthy? Well, it entails several steps to get it just right, especially if you want the paint truly corrected rather than merely have the scratches filled. A proper paint correction job can take anywhere from 5 to 30 hours depending on the damage that needs corrected.

The first step is always a thorough wash to remove all loose dirt and debris from the car’s paint surface. This is done with gentle soap formulated for car care. Then the vehicle is dried with soft towels before moving to the next step.


Next, an iron remover is sprayed to further decontaminate the paint. This is rinsed off before moving to the next step which is the clay bar.  Claying the paintwork will safely remove any stubborn surface contaminants that the wash was not able to remove.

Now we can see what we’re working with. All of the previous steps have cleared away any residue from the car’s surface and what remains is the true condition of the vehicle’s paintwork. A thorough inspection will help determine what kind of paint correction is needed. Depending on the depth of scratches and imperfections, various techniques will be needed to level the paint and achieve best results.

Each situation is unique and our detailing specialists can determine the best course of action but generally polishing and buffing are what is required next in the process. In some more serious cases, wet-sanding and re-level is used for deep scratches. Several rounds of polishing and buffing will be needed to get the paint looking right. Starting with a rougher grain and working to a finer one, the paint is polished and buffed 2 to 4 times.

Finally, each panel of the car is wiped down with a degreasing solution such as isopropyl alcohol. This dissolves any remaining oily residue and reveals the final finish properly corrected. A professionally corrected paint surface will shine and reflect clearly now that there are no imperfections to scatter the light. 


Now that the paint correction is done, a high quality protection such as a ceramic coating or paint protection film will preserve the hard work done and make your vehicle’s shine last for years to come.
