Professional Ceramic & Nano Coating Installation Services in Orange County, CA

When it comes to protecting the paint and finish of your vehicle, Doctor Detail offers state-of-the-art ceramic polymer and nano coating installation services. No matter how durable your vehicle’s clear coat may be, adding a ceramic polymer or nano coating provides an additional layer of hardness, surpassing the original finish of your vehicle. Our ceramic coatings create a hard, glass-like barrier on the clear coat, made from high-grade silicium formed through a precise chemical reaction during application.

This impenetrable layer shields your vehicle from a wide range of environmental factors, including UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and more. Not only does it protect against scratches and swirl marks, but it also enhances the natural shine of your vehicle’s paint, giving it a deep, candy-like gloss. At Doctor Detail, our skilled in-house installers are experts in applying these coatings, ensuring that every detail is attended to with the utmost care. Whether you’re looking for long-lasting paint protection or a brilliant shine, our ceramic coating services in Orange County, CA, are designed to exceed your expectations.

How We Install Ceramic Coating on Your Vehicle

At Doctor Detail, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality ceramic coating services, designed to provide long-lasting protection and enhance the beauty of your vehicle. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how our ceramic coating installation process works:

  1. Thorough Wash and Decontamination: We begin by giving your vehicle a meticulous wash, removing all dirt, grime, and contaminants from the surface. This step is crucial to ensure that the ceramic coating bonds properly with the paint.
  2. Paint Correction: Next, we perform a detailed paint correction process. This involves polishing out any scratches, swirl marks, or imperfections in the paint, ensuring a smooth and flawless surface before the coating is applied.
  3. Surface Preparation: After the paint correction, we prepare the surface by wiping it down with a special solution to remove any remaining oils or residues. This step ensures that the ceramic coating adheres perfectly to the vehicle’s paint.
  4. Ceramic Coating Application: Our skilled technicians then carefully apply the ceramic coating in multiple layers. Each layer is meticulously applied to ensure even coverage, creating a hard, glass-like protective barrier actually encapsulating your vehicle’s paint.
  5. Curing Process: Once the ceramic coating is applied, we allow it to cure. This curing process is essential for the coating to fully bond with the paint, forming a durable and resilient protective layer.
  6. Final Inspection and Quality Check: Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection and quality check to ensure that the ceramic coating has been applied flawlessly. We inspect every inch of your vehicle to make sure it meets our high standards before we consider the job complete.

This meticulous process guarantees that your vehicle receives the best possible protection and a stunning finish that with proper care will last for years to come.
