Can You Apply a Ceramic Coating WITHOUT Polishing First? Pro's Listen Up! Applying ceramic coatings is (for good reason) always within the context of some type of paint correction or polishing before the actual coating application, but as a professional detailer, is there ever a time to apply a coating WITHOUT paint correction? And if there is, when is that time?
The simple answer (in my opinion) to this question is yes. You actually CAN apply a ceramic coating to a vehicle that has not been ceramic coated... so when is it appropriate?
1. New vehicles. Now most people will say "Ya... but Luke, new cars have paint imperfections as well and still need correction. I understand this, but the question isn't whether or not the new car has imperfections, the question is whether or not the level of imperfections is going to hinder the lifetime durability of the coating, and if so... how much?
2. The second "appropriate time" to skip the paint correction or polishing step is when the customer is actually requesting this, normally because of a price difference. You might think: "Ya, but why would you give your customer a sub par service?" The point here is not to skimp so that the customer doesn't get what they pay for... actually the opposite is true. There are many customers in the real world of detailing who are happy to pay a few hundred dollars for a ceramic coating to be applied WITHOUT correction knowing full well that it may take a 5 year coating down to 2 or 3 years of protection, but the loss in durability is more than justified by the price savings.
This is the real world of professional detailing, so we have to get out of the BLACK AND WHITE, and make sure we talk about the grey.
