Wash and Decontaminate the Vehicle

To ensure that the ceramic coating you choose to have installed here at JM Autolavaggio bonds perfectly and cures without a problem to your vehicle's clear coat, it is essential that every relevant surface is cleared of both natural and artificial contaminants. Our ceramic coating installation approach begins with a meticulous hand washing process, utilizing microfiber towels, wash mitts to cleanse every exterior part of your vehicle.


Following this, our detailing specialists employ a clay bar treatment with extreme precision to eliminate any microscopic dirt or dust that could obstruct the bonding of your ceramic coating.

A Professional Paint Correction Package

Beyond just needing a surface that is free from dirt and grime, ceramic coatings also demand a level, unblemished surface to adhere correctly. Any imperfections in the paint can cause the clear coat to be uneven and impede successful bonding with a ceramic coating formula.


This is where our premier paint correction and defect removal procedures at JM Autolavaggio come into play! By employing techniques such as cutting, buffing, and polishing, we enhance your vehicle's surface for the ultimate shine and gloss.

Ceramic Coating Installation - Done By Hand

After completing all the preparatory steps for the ceramic coating installation process at JM Autolavaggio, we arrive at the heart of the entire operation: Manually hand applying our specialized, professional-grade ceramic coatings using the tried-and-true methods that we are renowned for. We first apply our advanced ceramic coating formulas to an applicator pad and then distribute them uniformly over the designated surfaces of your vehicle.


These ceramic coatings, known for their ultra water-repellent and stain-resistant properties, work their magic by filling tiny valleys in your vehicle's clear coat. By addressing small sections at a time, our process ensures an even coverage from start to finish.

Providing the Finishing Touches

Once every part of the vehicle is thoroughly coated with the ceramic coating you have selected, we check our work twice and more to make sure that it is completely and flawlessly smooth.


Finally, we place your vehicle in a secure setting to allow it to cure, forming a glossy and resilient surface layer that you can be proud of. Because we are certified in the ceramic coating formulas we work with, our team can then provide you with detailed instructions on the suggested detailing processes that should follow the installation of your selected ceramic coating package.

Debunking the Misunderstandings Surrounding Ceramic Coatings

Myth 1: Ceramic coatings are permanent and CANNOT be removed

Although they exhibit remarkable durability and longevity in contrast to conventional store-bought waxes and spray paint sealants, it is important to note that ceramic coatings do have durability to them.


As time passes, various environmental factors, the relentless impact of UV radiation from the Tuscan sun, and the inevitable wear and tear incurred through regular driving can collectively contribute to the gradual degradation of even the most durable, well-maintained ceramic coatings. If you are noticing that the once profound gloss and slick hydrophobicity has waned, we can remove your old coating and install a new one here at JM Autolavaggio.

Myth 2: Ceramic coatings require NO maintenance after installation

Some people believe that once a ceramic coating is applied, they can completely forgo regular car maintenance such as hand washing or the full exterior detailing services you get here at JM Autolavaggio. Trust us when we say that this is NOT an accurate assumption whatsoever! While ceramic coatings make it easier to clean your vehicle thanks to their ceramic-infused water-repellant and can even repel some dirt and water by themselves, you will still need to get regular washing done. This effort is still essential to prevent the buildup of heavier contaminants or any chemicals that can degrade the ceramic coating.

Myth 3: Ceramic coatings are physically defect-resistant

We'd love for this to be true, but the truth is that ceramic coatings are NOT impervious to scratching or abrasion. Think of them as being similar to your vehicle’s clear coat except far more hydrophobic, glossy, and long-lasting.


Ceramic coatings provide an excellent barrier against common contamination, but they are NOT scratch and defect proof! They CAN be chipped, scraped, nicked, or scratched, especially if you drive them through a public car wash here in Tucson, Arizona. However, a properly applied ceramic coating does act as a sacrificial layer that protects the ORIGINAL surfaces of your vehicle, though it will need replacement if affected by those abrasions.
