One of the things that Iād like to think sets A2D apart from other detail shops is the education that I try to provide for my customers. I provide that on my YouTube channel, here and in person. I go over how to maintain a ceramic coated vehicle and how to get the most out of your investment. I understand that coatings donāt come cheap and I want you to get the most out of your investment.
This customer has been doing a great job at keeping up with maintenance after we saw it last June, however, over the winter- due to life and cold temperatures- struggled with keeping up with maintenance. As a result, the vehicle went all winter long not being washed and then in the spring only received two touchless watches from the automatic car wash. While touchless washes ARE safer on the clearcoat, ceramic coatings do require some sort of CONTACT (be it a hand wash, rinseless wash or even DRYING it with a ceramic drying aid to assist) to remove the film from the surface. If left on the paint for an extended period of time, film, salt and dirt can weaken the hydrophobic layer of your coating overtime and cut its life short and thatās whatās happening with this coating.
The customer and I were able to figure out what couldāve caused the coating to struggle and were able to create a plan moving forward to make sure that this vehicle stays protected and that he can get the most out of his investment. And now sheās clean, ⨠and the coating is refreshed properly.
If you wanna learn more about ceramic coatings or find out how they can help keep your vehicle looking like new and make maintenance easier, give us a call.
