DePorter Detailing - Ceramic Coating Specialists

The many benefits of window film include eye comfort, UV protection, aesthetics, and increased safety, privacy, and energy savings.

If you want to protect your vehicle and keep it looking as great as possible for as long as possible, you need ceramic coating Hanover PA. It is long-lasting and requires very little maintenance to keep it shining and looking as good or better than new!

Ceramic coating Hanover PA are carefully applied by certified applicator’s as a liquid one panel at a time covering the exterior painted surfaces. The paintwork is firstly decontaminated and prepared to ensure the coating achieves a good bond to the paintwork.

Ceramic coating Hanover PA is a good investment to permanently protect the exterior from deteriorating prematurely and maintain a higher resale value. Less maintenance due to the slickness of the coating won’t allow dirt, brake dust and road tar to stick to your paint, wheels or glass nearly as much making cleaning your vehicle a much more enjoyable and effortless process.

It is recommended to remove your personal items from inside your vehicle. This will save us time and it is less unlikely that your items will be lost during our car detailing Hanover PA process. Don’t worry so much about removing items from your glove box or center console. We remove those items for you to clean inside compartments then put everything back in immediately.

Just because your vehicle is new doesn’t necessarily mean the paint finish is flawless. Often times when a vehicle leaves the factory there are many paint imperfections that are missed by quality control personnel. Some of these imperfections are dirt specks, run lines, wet sanding marks, pig tails from a D/A sander, and hologramming from improper polishing techniques.

We hear this quite often. While having your vehicle detailed just once in its life time right before you sell it will help its first impression on a potential buyer, most likely by this time your vehicle has deteriorated, interior soiled, exterior paint oxidized, and the clear coat damaged. Not only does having your car detailing Hanover PA hold its value throughout its lifetime, but it also provides a more enjoyable driving experience. A clean vehicle can portray self confidence and a high level of professionalism. It is simply one of the most important maintenance services for your vehicle.

The difference between removing and filling defects in your paintwork is the difference between eliminating a problem and hiding it. Filling defects is a temporary solution that hides the scratches and must be repeated often to maintain the appearance of corrected paint. Scratches and swirls are filled by using products that contain glazes and filler waxes. These products contain oils in them which fill the scratches and hide them for a short period of time.

You were so excited about getting a used car (new to you) that you may have not realized it doesn’t really look or smell that great. It may be that the car has been taking care of mechanically but not aesthetically. The fact is that the bacteria levels found inside used cars can contain 10 times more germs than a public toilet seat or an entire daycare center.

Please make sure you have plenty of gas. If you car is electric please charge it fully before you drop it off. It is recommended to remove your personal items from inside your vehicle. This will save us time and it is less unlikely that your items will be lost during our cleaning process.

With a true detail not only is every part of the car cleaned but solutions are often added to protect and recondition the car. A regular car wash often only vacuums down seats, floors, and mats. Whereas, a detail will vacuum and shampoo to take out stains and odors.

Average time of detail will be about 2.5 hours.

Ceramic coatings do not prevent rock chips. A coating creates a hardened layer of protection, which protects against chemical etching while providing a sacrificial layer. What can protect against scratches is Paint protection film which forms a malleable layer of protection that can absorbs the rock chips. A coating is actually too hard, and when a rock chip hits a coated vehicle it will knick away the coating.

The durability of any Ceramic Coating is directly related to two things. First, how and where the vehicle in question lives its life. Is it a California car that sees perfect weather or a Pennsylvania car that will see all four seasons? Is it a weekend toy or is it a daily driver? Where the car lives and the environment it is exposed to plays heavily in to any Coatings durability. The more intense the environment it is exposed to the less durability we can expect. The kinder the environment the more durability we can expect. Secondly, is the maintenance program the car enjoys. All Ceramic Paint Coatings require a bit of maintenance. If the car is kept clean where dirt and contaminant is not able to build up on the surface over several weeks or months and the Coating is kept healthy then we will see extended durability. There is no one size fits all and there are no permanent coatings.

Unfortunately there is a bit of irresponsible marketing in the Coating world. Coatings are not thick enough nor hard enough to withstand scratches from say a dirty wash mitt, a key, or a rock chip. They do produce a slightly harder surface than the paint itself, but not enough to withstand this type of damage. The 9h Hardness measure that is used describes the Coating’s “vertical hardness”, or its ability to withstand penetration from UV and chemical damage and keep it from reaching the paints finish. That is what we are asking Coatings to do. We coat cars so that they still look good years down the road, and do not suffer from the slow roll of UV and environmental contamination that degrades the finish. Where a Coating can play in to scratch resistance is by producing and extremely repellent and slick surface, so that the surface lets go of loose dirt that you would otherwise move across the paint when washing and minimize the friction between the dirt, your wash mitt, and the paint.

The chemical makeup of Ceramic Coatings does three very important things differently than that of a wax or sealant. Firstly, it is capable of bonding to the surface underneath for a matter of years where we see a few months out of most waxes or sealants. Secondly, the chemical makeup of the Ceramic Coating is able to withstand penetration of UV and harmful environmental contaminants to keep your paints finish from degrading over time due to exposure. Thirdly, the Coating produces a highly repellent surface, where dirt and contaminant is rejected instead of absorbed in to the surface. This keeps the surfaces cleaner longer and makes regular wash maintenance very easy and safe.

Ceramic Coatings, also called Glass Coatings or Quartz Coatings, are the most capable form of protection from UV and Chemical Damage we can utilize. The bonding molecule that provides the protection is SiO2, or Silica Dioxide. A solvent carrier is used to apply the SiO2 to the paint and other surfaces. The solvent evaporates out and leaves the SiO2 behind to cure and bond to the surface. The Ceramic Paint Coating is then cured with an Infrared Curing Lamp to force dry the coating and speed up the solvent release.
