Ceramic Coating: Unrivaled Gloss and Permanent Protection

Give Your Vehicle the Ultimate Shield

Is your vehicle's paint constantly exposed to the elements? Sun, rain, bird droppings, road salt, and wash-induced swirls can quickly degrade your car's finish, diminishing its gloss and value. Traditional waxes and sealants offer only temporary protection and require frequent reapplication.

At Lakewood Collision LLC, we offer the definitive solution for paint protection: Professional-Grade Ceramic Coating. A ceramic coating is not just another wax; it's a semi-permanent, optically clear nanoscopic layer that bonds chemically with your vehicle's clear coat. This creates an incredibly hard, hydrophobic, and durable shield that protects your paint for years, not months.

Why Choose Our Ceramic Coating Services?

Investing in a ceramic coating is an investment in the longevity and appearance of your vehicle. Here’s why discerning owners choose our expert application services:

• Extreme Durability & Hardness: Our coatings provide a 9H or higher pencil hardness rating, significantly increasing scratch resistance and protecting against minor abrasions and wash marring.

• Unmatched Hydrophobic Properties: Water, dirt, mud, and contaminants bead up and roll off the surface effortlessly. This "self-cleaning" effect keeps your car cleaner for longer and makes washing incredibly easy.

• Deeper, Richer Gloss: The coating enhances the reflective properties of your clear coat, giving your paint a deep, candy-like gloss and intense color depth that looks better than new.

• Permanent UV Protection: Contains powerful UV inhibitors that prevent oxidation, fading, and premature aging caused by the harsh sun.

• Chemical & Corrosion Resistance: Shields your paint from bird droppings, tree sap, bug splatter, road salt, and industrial fallout, preventing them from etching into the clear coat.

• Certified Professional Application: Our technicians are factory-trained and certified in the meticulous preparation and application of leading ceramic coating brands. We ensure a flawless, high-spot-free finish.

Our Meticulous Application Process

Achieving a perfect ceramic coating requires precision, patience, and a strictly controlled environment. We cut no corners:

1. Decontamination Wash: We perform a thorough multi-stage wash to remove all surface dirt, tar, iron particles, and embedded contaminants.

2. Paint Correction (Polishing): This is the most critical step. To lock in perfection, we perform one or more stages of machine polishing to remove swirls, scratches, hazing, and imperfections, refining the paint to a mirror finish.

3. Surface Prep Wipe: We use specialized panel prep solvents to completely strip any oils, waxes, or polishing residues, ensuring a perfectly clean surface for the coating to bond to.

4. Precision Coating Application: In our temperature-controlled, dust-free bay, the ceramic coating is carefully hand-applied panel by panel using a specialized applicator.

5. Flashing & Levelling: We monitor the coating as it "flashes" (bonds) and meticulously level it with multiple clean microfiber towels to achieve an optically clear, streak-free finish.

6. Infrared Curing: We use infrared curing lamps to accelerate the bonding process, ensuring maximum hardness and durability before the vehicle leaves the studio.

7. Final Inspection: The vehicle undergoes a rigorous final inspection under high-intensity lights to ensure absolute perfection.
