Lock In Gloss And Repel Contaminants
Advanced Film Solutions applies ceramic coating to vehicles in Oklahoma City for long-lasting protection and easier maintenance.
Your vehicle's paint collects dirt, pollen, and water spots faster in Oklahoma City due to seasonal storms and high UV exposure, and standard wax only lasts a few weeks before it breaks down. Ceramic coating bonds directly to your paint and forms a hard, hydrophobic layer that sheds water, resists staining, and makes washing quicker and more effective.
This service involves a multi-step surface preparation followed by the application of a liquid polymer that cures into a permanent protective layer. The coating does not replace wax or sealant because it becomes part of your vehicle's surface, filling microscopic pores in the paint and creating a smooth, glossy finish. Advanced Film Solutions prepares your vehicle through paint correction and decontamination to ensure the coating adheres properly and delivers the results you expect.
If you want a low-maintenance finish that lasts years instead of months in Oklahoma City, reach out to Advanced Film Solutions to schedule a consultation and coating appointment.
A Chemical Bond That Outlasts Traditional Wax
The process begins with a thorough wash, clay bar treatment, and paint correction to remove embedded contaminants, swirl marks, and oxidation that would otherwise be sealed under the coating. In Oklahoma City, road tar and tree sap are common issues that must be addressed before coating application. Once the surface is polished and inspected under high-intensity lighting, the ceramic coating is applied panel by panel using foam applicators and buffed to an even finish.
After the coating cures, water beads up and rolls off your vehicle instead of sitting on the surface and leaving spots. Dirt and grime have a harder time sticking to the slick surface, so your vehicle stays cleaner between washes. The coating also provides a layer of UV protection that slows down paint fading and oxidation, and it resists minor scratches from washing and drying.
Ceramic coating does not prevent rock chips, dents, or scratches from physical impact, and it will not fix existing paint damage or imperfections. Most coatings require a curing period of 24 to 48 hours before the vehicle can get wet, and you should avoid washing or parking under trees during that time. Coating durability ranges from two to five years depending on the product used, and maintenance involves regular washing with pH-neutral soap and an annual inspection.
What vehicle owners want to know first
People considering ceramic coating usually ask how it compares to wax, what kind of care it needs, and whether it makes sense for their vehicle and driving habits.
How is ceramic coating different from waxing a vehicle?
Wax sits on top of your paint and wears off within weeks, while ceramic coating bonds chemically and lasts for years. Coating also provides stronger water repellency, chemical resistance, and gloss retention than any wax or sealant.
What kind of maintenance does ceramic coating require after application?
You wash your vehicle with a pH-neutral soap and avoid abrasive brushes or automatic car washes that use harsh chemicals. An annual inspection and optional maintenance coating can extend the life of the original layer.
Why does paint correction need to happen before coating is applied?
Ceramic coating amplifies whatever condition your paint is in, so swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation will be more visible after coating if they are not corrected first. Advanced Film Solutions polishes your paint to remove defects so the coating looks flawless once cured.
How long does it take to apply ceramic coating to a vehicle in Oklahoma City?
Most applications take one to two days depending on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint. The coating then needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before you can drive the vehicle in wet conditions.
What happens if the coating gets damaged or starts to wear down?
You can apply a maintenance layer to restore hydrophobic performance without removing the original coating. If the coating is scratched or contaminated, Advanced Film Solutions can polish the affected area and reapply a fresh layer.
