Pristine Ceramic Coatings for All Vehicle Types

Detailed Exterior Cleaning

At Alpha Autocare, we believe that a good ceramic coating begins with a sparkling clean car exterior. That's why we start by thoroughly washing your vehicle to remove any traces of dirt and grime. This step reveals the true shine of your paintwork and creates a clear, clean surface that makes the ceramic coating application successful. We put a lot of effort into this initial cleaning to ensure the final result is both attractive and long-lasting once your chosen ceramic coating cures.

Pro Paint Correction

The second step in Alpha Autocare's ceramic coating application process brings your vehicle a specific level of paint correction. This is a crucial stage where we remove any visible flaws in your car’s top layer of paint, known as the clear coat. Getting rid of these small defects helps to create a smooth surface. This smoothness is not only important for the ceramic coating to stick properly, but it also enhances the shine and richness of your paint. We make sure no swirls, scrapes, or nicks are left behind to be amplified

Applying Your Ceramic Coating

After addressing any paint imperfections on your car, we at Alpha Autocare are set to apply the ceramic coating. We ensure the right quantity of coating is evenly spread across the vehicle's surface, applying the coating in a crosshatch pattern section by section. This coating is then allowed to cure before any excess is buffed off, unveiling your car's refreshed, glossy finish. The process concludes with a thorough inspection to ensure the highest quality of application.

Myth 1:

Ceramic coatings can be physically indestructible

A common misconception is that ceramic coatings make a vehicle's exterior completely resistant to any kind of damage or degradation. The reason this is not true is because a ceramic coating is similar to your clear coat. It is a solid layer that provides slick hydrophobicity and a lustrous shine. However, while they do offer this robust gloss layer, they are not durable against scratches, nicks, swirls, or extreme physical damage. Ceramic coatings are not invincible, but they are helpful in many other ways!

Myth 2:

Ceramic coatings completely eliminate water spotting

Ceramic coatings have a hydrophobic quality, meaning they repel water and various liquid contaminants. This helps in reducing the chances of water spotting forming on the vehicle. However, a ceramic coating does not necessarily remove the risk of water spots appearing entirely, especially if they are caused by heavy contamination. For instance, in areas with hard water, there is still a possibility of these spots developing on the coating. Our detailing services come to the rescue here.

Myth 3:

A vehicle has to be new to get coated with ceramic

Applying ceramic coatings is especially beneficial for new vehicles, but they are suitable for all vehicles no matter their age. This coating serves to improve the appearance of a vehicle's paintwork. Therefore, any vehicle can benefit from a ceramic coating, providing it with long-lasting paint enhancements and hydrophobic protection to give it a refreshed look. If your vehicle is older, it may require different levels of paint correction to remove any pre-existing defects or discrepancies from its clear coat. We will perform an in-person inspection of your vehicle before we install your coating.
