Ceramic Coating Hamilton

The work happens at our Etobicoke studio at 222 Evans Ave., about 45 minutes from Hamilton. Ceramic coating has to be applied indoors in controlled temperature and humidity, and the paint has to be decontaminated and corrected first — none of which can be done properly in a driveway. Most Hamilton clients drop the car off and we keep them updated by text.

Longer than most people expect, because the coating has to cure. Plan on the vehicle staying with us overnight at minimum, and longer if paint correction is included — which it usually should be. Coating locks in whatever is already on the paint, so applying it over swirls preserves them permanently. We confirm the exact timeline when we quote your vehicle.

Hamilton paint deals with more than road salt. Industrial fallout and rail dust settle on cars as tiny iron particles that bond to clear coat and show up as rust-coloured specks, most visibly on white and silver paint. We remove that contamination chemically and with a clay bar before coating, and afterwards the coating's slick surface makes new fallout much easier to wash off before it bonds.

We take Hamilton clients from Stoney Creek, Dundas, Ancaster, Waterdown, Hamilton Mountain and Westdale, and across Hamilton-Wentworth generally. About 45 minutes east on the QEW from Hamilton to our Etobicoke studio. We take cars from Stoney Creek, Dundas, Ancaster, Waterdown, the Mountain and the rest of Hamilton.

Yes — a coating makes washing easier and far less frequent, not unnecessary. What it does not survive is an automatic brush wash, which puts in exactly the swirl marks the coating exists to resist. Two buckets, a clean microfibre mitt and a pH-neutral soap will keep it beading for years.
