Ceramic Coating and Paint Correction
Troop Films Paint Protection & Tint provides the best ceramic coating services for the Charleston area. What truly distinguishes us is the complimentary professional paint correction included with our ceramic coating service. Before applying a ceramic coating, it is crucial that we remove the flaws in your vehicle's paint to make it flawless. Paint correction is a careful process where we use cutting, buffing, and polishing to remove paint imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, or nicks. This step ensures that the vehicle’s paint surface is perfect and ready to receive your ceramic coating.

Installing Your Ceramic Coating
Exterior Detailing
To make sure the ceramic coating bonds to your vehicle, it is very important to start with a super clean surface. At Troop Films Paint Protection & Tint, we thoroughly wash your vehicle, making sure we take care of every part of the exterior. This includes any other deep cleaning measures to remove all the dirt, dust, and surface grime that comes from driving. After everything is spotless, we take a close look at the paint to establish what needs to be fixed before we apply the ceramic coating.
Paint Correction
As mentioned earlier, paint correction and ceramic coatings go hand-in-hand here. After getting the outside of your vehicle completely clean, we tackle any paint issues and enhance its gloss with paint correction. Our process gets rid of minor swirls, scratches, or scrapes. At Troop Films Paint Protection & Tint, we use special compounds to cut away these surface imperfections before buffing and polishing those areas. This process removes those tiny flaws on the surface so that they will not be visible.
Ceramic Coating Application
After making sure your vehicle's paint is clean and flawless, our experienced
technicians carefully hand-apply the ceramic coating formula you choose. We use special applicator pads and a hand-application method so everything is covered evenly. By applying the coating to each panel separately, it bonds with the paint, forming a strong, water-repelling layer. You will see a big improvement in how shiny your vehicle looks and you will find it stays clean much longer, too.
Myths About Our Ceramic Coatings
Myth 1: Ceramic coatings are scratch-proof
Ceramic coatings are applied to enhance the appearance of your vehicle's exterior paintwork, but they will not make it resistant to scratches. Sharp surfaces and physical impacts will still leave marks or scratches on your vehicle. Vehicle owners should remain careful in handling and caring for their vehicles to minimize the risk of scratching the surface. Trust a pro detailer to wash your ride once a ceramic coating is applied.
If you are looking for scratch protection, maybe consider paint protection film prior to the installation of your ceramic coating.
Myth 2: Your coating eliminates the need to wash your vehicle
When you get a ceramic coating, it will certainly make the vehicle surface more hydrophobic. That hydrophobicity means the surface of your vehicle will be water-repellent, causing water to bead up and roll off the surface. This effectively reduces how much dirt and grime adheres to it. However, this does not mean that your vehicle is exempt from regular car washes.
Myth 3: Ceramic coatings will last on your vehicle forever
There is this common belief that once your vehicle has a ceramic coating installed that it is permanent. Unfortunately, this is not the case. They do outlast traditional wax or sealants by several years, but they do not necessarily last forever. The lifespan of a ceramic coating is affected by environmental conditions, how well the vehicle is maintained, and vehicle usage. You can extend this lifespan with regular detailing.
