Ceramic coatings can be intimidating, but they don't have to be difficult. To pull off a long-lasting layer of ceramic protection, it is more about taking your time during the preparation phase than having a high level of skill applying ceramic to paint.

Once the vehicle has been properly prepared with a wash and decontamination, it truly is the paint correction process that will make your ceramic coating pop. Because of that, it is also the most labor-intensive and time-consuming step.

Once you have the surface as pristine as possible you'll be ready to apply the ceramic coating of your choice. Make sure to follow the steps recommended by the manufacturer, for Malco's EPIC Ceramic Coating, it is a single layer application. This is to be applied in a cross-hatch pattern and then buffed off with a microfiber panel by panel.

Once finished, make sure you're allowing the proper cure time so you're ceramic has time to harden and won't be ruined by water or weather.
