coating
s for my customers there are a lot of very goodcoating
s on the market but we've chosen to carry just threecoating
s that we think are the best this video may seem a little biased because I will be referring to the brands that we use here the most important thing you can do when choosing acoating
is finally write installer similar to a good quality paint job it's not just about the quality of the paintit's definitely important but it's the skill level and the execution of the job that's going to determine the end result anyone can apply a
coating
you can buy a consumer-gradecoating
online watch a couple of YouTube videos and you'll have a coated car but it might not look great and it might not last properly prepping the vehicle before you apply theceramic
coating
is going to determine the quality of the results most of the time and money spent on acoating
job is the laborto prepare the paint for the protection if you don't have the tools or the skill to do the proper paint correction before the
coating
it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig or like painting a dirty house what's the point right newer cars can sometimes get away with very minimal Corrections but if you want that deep wet gloss you're gonna have to do some paint correction to correct the marring the love marks or the scratches before it gets coated when choosing acoating
it's important to know that generally speaking all the
coating
s are gonna protect your vehicle in the same way allcoating
s are durable they're shiny and they're gonna last a whole lot longer than any wax or sealantcoating
s are gonna vary on their thickness they're slickness durability longevity and the gloss generally speaking there are only two types ofcoating

Procoating
s are thick and often include multiple steps tocure it into a hard thick layer these provide the best durability entry-level
coating
s you can buy online are typically a single level application they are much more forgiving to apply but they don't cure as hard so you really don't get that deep and durability associated with the proko diem so when you call into one of our shops we're gonna ask you a series of questions to determine what coding is gonna be right for you one of the first questions we ask is how long you're goingto be keeping the car if it's three years or less then you probably want to go with an entry level coding unless you really want the durability and the shine that the pro
coating
s offer if it's more than three years it's worth considering a pro coding the second question we're gonna ask is what are your expectations for the appearance of the car if you love your car if you walk away from it backwards and you tend to stare at the shine when no one's watching then a pro codingis probably what you want to go with on the other hand if you just want any sensible protection to save time and a little bit of money but don't obsess over the little stuff then go with an entry-level coding if a pro coding sounds right for you then we have a few options if you love your car and you want the best protection money can buy you will want to go with modesties pro level coding it is the thickest most durable longest
