Ceramic Coating in New Jersey
For vehicle owners who demand exceptional protection and a head-turning finish, Authentic Diamond offers professional ceramic coating services in New Jersey. This high-performance protective treatment bonds with your vehicle's clear coat to create a durable shield against environmental damage while enhancing paint depth and gloss. It’s the ultimate solution for drivers who want to preserve their investment and reduce the need for constant maintenance.
Advanced Surface Preparation
Before applying ceramic coating, proper preparation is essential. Our process begins with a thorough decontamination of your vehicle’s exterior to ensure a flawless bonding surface.
Paint Decontamination and Clay Bar
We start by washing the vehicle with a pH-neutral soap, followed by a clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants like tar, rail dust, and overspray. This step smooths the clear coat and enhances product adhesion.
Paint Correction for Optimal Results
To ensure the ceramic coating bonds to a pristine surface, we perform a single- or multi-stage polish to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. This polishing process reveals the true clarity of your paint and sets the stage for long-lasting protection.
Ceramic Coating Application
Ceramic coating is applied by hand in a temperature-controlled environment to guarantee even coverage and proper curing. Once bonded, the coating forms a semi-permanent layer that is hydrophobic, UV-resistant, and chemically resilient.
Hydrophobic Barrier
Water beads and rolls off the surface, carrying dirt and debris with it. This hydrophobic effect makes routine washing easier and helps maintain a just-detailed look between cleanings.
UV and Chemical Resistance
Ceramic coatings offer superior resistance to UV rays, preventing fading and oxidation over time. They also repel bird droppings, tree sap, road salts, and harsh chemicals that would otherwise damage unprotected paint.
Paint Sealant Alternatives
For clients seeking a more budget-conscious option or shorter-term protection, we also offer high-quality synthetic paint sealants. While not as long-lasting as ceramic coatings, sealants provide excellent gloss and environmental defense for up to six months.
Carnauba Wax vs. Synthetic Sealant
Carnauba wax delivers a warm glow and is ideal for show cars or short-term needs. Synthetic sealants, on the other hand, offer longer durability and stronger protection against the elements. Our technicians help determine which option suits your goals and driving habits.
Layering Options for Added Protection
We offer layering services where a sealant can be used as a base and topped with wax for enhanced visual depth and performance. For ceramic coatings, we can add a topper layer to extend hydrophobic qualities even further.
Protection for More Than Just Paint
Ceramic coatings aren’t limited to body panels. At Authentic Diamond, we apply coatings to other critical areas of your vehicle to create a fully protected exterior.
Wheel and Caliper Coating
Brake dust and road grime can damage your wheels over time. We apply ceramic coatings to rims and calipers to make cleanup easier and prevent corrosion.
Glass and Trim Coating
We offer glass coatings that improve visibility in rain and trim coatings that prevent fading and discoloration. This ensures all exterior components remain protected and uniform in appearance.
Maintenance and Longevity
While ceramic coatings are incredibly durable, proper maintenance ensures you get the most out of your investment. We provide guidance on safe washing practices and offer follow-up services to inspect or refresh the coating as needed.
Annual Coating Inspections
We recommend annual inspections to ensure your coating is performing optimally. During these visits, we can apply maintenance toppers to extend the coating’s lifespan and rejuvenate its hydrophobic properties.
Coating-Friendly Detailing Products
Clients are advised to use ceramic-safe soaps, mitts, and drying towels to avoid scratching or dulling the surface. We offer professional-grade maintenance kits for at-home use.
