Ceramic Coating Service

Ceramic coating is an advanced solution composed of liquid polymer designed to protect and improve the exterior surfaces of vehicles. It's a cutting-edge development in automotive detailing providing numerous benefits. This coating is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle, where it bonds with the vehicle’s paint creating a layer of protection.

Once cured, this unique product forms a hard layer on the car's surface, protecting it from environmental hazards and giving it a glossy finish. It's not just an aesthetic enhancement - it's a powerful protective tool, capable of keeping a vehicle's exterior in showroom condition, despite what the elements throw at it.

A ceramic coating is renowned for its durability and longevity. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that require frequent reapplication, ceramic coatings, when maintained properly, can last for several years. While the exact duration depends on various factors including the quality of the coating, the preparation process, and how well it's maintained, we recommend regular maintenance with us every 6 months.

With regular maintenance and proper care, a ceramic coating can continue to protect and enhance your vehicle for up to five years, sometimes even longer. However, it's important to remember that while a ceramic coating significantly reduces the need for frequent waxing, it does not completely eliminate the need for routine washing and care. 

Yes, our ceramic coating service at Detailed by Diddy does indeed include a complimentary headlight restoration. This is part of our commitment to ensuring that your vehicle receives comprehensive care and attention. We understand that headlights are an integral part of any vehicle, not just for safety but also for maintaining the overall aesthetics. Over time, headlights can become cloudy or yellowed due to oxidation, drastically reducing their effectiveness and detracting from your vehicle's appearance.

Our complimentary headlight restoration service is designed to restore your headlights to their former glory. We use high-quality products and proven techniques to remove the cloudy or yellowed layer from your headlights, leaving them clear and bright. This not only enhances your vehicle's appearance but also significantly improves visibility for safer driving. When combined with our superior ceramic coating service, it ensures that every part of your vehicle shines, from bumper to bumper. At Detailed by Diddy, we believe in providing services that go above and beyond, offering value-added features like headlight restoration to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

To maintain its stunning appearance and long-lasting protection, we recommend regular maintenance with us every 6 months. If you prefer to maintain your vehicle yourself, follow our guide below for optimal results.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:

1. A pair of 5-gallon buckets with dirt traps
2. pH-balanced, high-lubricity car wash soap
3. Ultra-soft wool wash mitt
4. Twist loop microfiber towel for drying
5. Graphene detailing spray (suggested use every three months)

CLEANING PROCEDURE:

1. Choose a shaded spot and ensure the car's surface is not hot.
2. Use a hose to rinse off loose dust and particles from the vehicle.
3. Fill one bucket with water mixed with the specified car wash soap, and the other with clean water.
4. Employ the two-bucket cleaning method. Immerse the wash mitt in the soapy water, clean one area at a time, rinsing the mitt in the clean water bucket after each section.
5. Start cleaning from the top and work your way down.
6. To minimize the chances of creating swirl marks, avoid using circular movements while cleaning. Use linear motions instead.
7. Thoroughly rinse the vehicle after cleaning.

DRYING PROCESS:

1. Using the twist loop microfiber drying towel, carefully pat dry the vehicle. Avoid pulling the towel across the paint to avert scratches.
2. Be extra cautious around cracks and joints where water may accumulate.

USAGE OF GRAPHENE DETAIL SPRAY (EVERY THREE MONTHS):

1. Following the cleaning and drying process, apply the graphene detail spray to boost the coating's water-repellent properties and provide additional protection.
2. Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for application.

EXTRA GUIDELINES:

• Steer clear of automatic car washes with brushes as they can damage the ceramic coating.
• If an automatic car wash is unavoidable, opt for a touchless wash and the most basic wash package since the chemicals used can be harsh and cause premature degradation of the ceramic coating.
• Avoid using strong chemicals, rough polishes, or wax products as they can undermine the coating's efficacy.
• In case your vehicle gets wet from rain and no further rain is expected, endeavor to wash it as soon as possible.
• Regular upkeep will prolong the lifespan of your ceramic coating and keep your vehicle in top condition.

At Detailed by Diddy, we pride ourselves on our commitment to quality and transparency, setting us apart in the auto detailing industry. We’ve heard claims from other detailers, ranging from “the entire process takes only 5 hours” to “your car will be road-ready just 60 minutes post-coating”. However, if you’re seeking a genuine ceramic coating applied to properly prepared paint, these timelines simply aren’t feasible. Moreover, some detailers offer ceramic coatings but add an extra charge for polishing. This approach doesn’t quite add up. At Detailed by Diddy, we believe in providing comprehensive services without hidden costs. Choose us for a seamless, honest, and high-quality ceramic coating experience.

Yes, we do! Regular washing is still necessary to keep a coated vehicle looking its best. However, we recommend signing up for our regular maintenance schedule. We offer this service at a competitive price, making it a valuable investment in your vehicle’s ceramic coating.
