Westminster Speed and Sound offers industry-leading Opti-Coat Ceramic Coating solutions to help maintain and enhance the look of your vehicle. If you aren’t familiar with ceramic coatings, they are like car wax on steroids. The protective layer adds a deep, rich shine, and the exceptional hydrophobic properties make keeping your car, truck, SUV or motorcycle clean easier than you could ever imagine.
Opti-Coat Ceramic Coating from Westminster Speed and Sound
Though microscopically thin, ceramic coatings are a durable protective layer that helps keep your vehicle looking like new. The treatment resists fine scratches from the regular washing and drying process to help prevent swirl marks. The coating also helps resist stains from road tar and bug splatter and damage from road salt and acid rain. Best of all, because the coating is so slick, washing and maintaining your gloss and shine is quicker and easier. The coating also helps block UV rays, so bright paint colors like red, yellow and orange will look rich and vibrant for longer.
Don’t mistake ceramic coating for paint protection film. It doesn’t prevent stone chips or guard against scratches in parking lots or from tree branches. It will make wiping off bird droppings or tree sap much easier, and a regular car wash in your driveway will take less time than ever. Where waxes last for weeks and sealants might last for months, a vehicle protected with a professional-grade ceramic coating will look great for up to seven years when maintained properly. Think of it as a sacrificial layer on top of your paint.
The Coating Process
The first step in the ceramic coating process is thoroughly inspecting the paint finish to determine its condition. On the day of your appointment, we start with a decontamination wash that removes greases, oils, dirt and debris from the paint, wheels and glass surfaces. Multi-spectrum lights help us understand how much correction is needed to establish gloss and preserve the remaining factory clearcoat. We measure the paint thickness using a special digital gauge to determine how much clear coat we have to work with to perfect the finish.
Manufacturers are putting less and less paint on vehicles today, and our goal is to help you preserve your paint for as long as you own the vehicle. All of our coating jobs include a light polish to restore the factory gloss. If there are defects that need further attention, we are prepared to remove them AND protect the remaining paint. We have professional-grade polishers, the best polishing pads and a complete array of compounds that let us refine the paint surface to a mirror-like finish. Once the paint is corrected and preserved, we decontaminate everything one last time to ensure that the coating will bond perfectly.
Ceramic coatings are not a force field or armor suit that protects your vehicle’s paint. Our team of automotive enhancement experts can explain the cleaning and care process that will keep your vehicle looking like new. We’ll also schedule regular annual maintenance to help the coating continue providing effective protection for many years.
