Ceramic Coating Services
Advanced Marine Ceramic Coating Technology
At Palmetto State Detail Company, our Marine Ceramic Coating service offers top-tier protection for your boat, extending its lifespan and enhancing its appearance. Utilizing the latest in nanotechnology, our ceramic coatings provide a durable, hydrophobic surface that guards against environmental hazards and everyday wear.
Features & Benefits of Ceramic Coating
Hydrophobicity
Repels water, causing it to bead and slide off the surface easily. This hydrophobic effect makes cleaning a breeze and reduces the likelihood of water spots.
Long-Lasting Protection
Provides a hard, durable surface layer that protects against environmental contaminants, such as saltwater, UV rays, bird droppings, and tree sap.
Enhanced Gloss & Shine
Ceramic coating enhances the paint’s depth and clarity, giving your boat or vehicle a constant, just-waxed glossy finish that stands out.
Scratch Resistance
While not completely scratch-proof, ceramic coatings provide a significant level of resistance against minor scratches and swirl marks.
Chemical Resistance
Protects the paint from acidic contaminants, reducing the risk of etching or staining caused by harsh chemicals.
Less Maintenance
Dirt and grime are less likely to bond, ensuring effortless cleaning sessions.

Ceramic Coating Process
Our ceramic coating process is meticulously designed to ensure your boat or vehicle receives the utmost protection and achieves a flawless finish. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Palmetto State Detail Co for your ceramic coating needs:
Step 1: Thorough Cleaning and Decontamination
The first step in the ceramic coating process is to thoroughly clean and decontaminate the surface. This involves a detailed wash to remove any dirt, grime, and contaminants from the surface. We then use a clay bar treatment to eliminate any bonded contaminants, ensuring the surface is perfectly clean and smooth.
Step 2: Paint/Gelcoat Correction and Oxidation Removal
Before applying the ceramic coating, it’s crucial to address any imperfections in the paintwork. Our paint correction process removes swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, restoring the paint to its original brilliance. This step is essential for achieving the best possible finish, as the ceramic coating will lock in the condition of the surface beneath it.
Step 3: Application of Ceramic Coating
Once the surface is prepped and the paint corrected, we apply the ceramic coating. The application is done meticulously, using a specialized applicator to ensure an even and thorough coverage. The coating is applied panel by panel, ensuring every inch of the surface is protected.
Step 4: Curing
After the ceramic coating is applied, it needs time to cure and bond with the paint. This process varies depending on the specific product used and environmental conditions but typically takes about 24 hours. During this time, the coating hardens, forming a permanent protective layer.
Step 5: Quality Inspection
Our final step is a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure the coating has been applied flawlessly and the desired protective properties are achieved. We meticulously check every detail, ensuring that your boat or vehicle not only looks spectacular but is also fully protected.
Post Application Care & Maintenance
To maximize the effectiveness and longevity of your ceramic coating, we provide detailed guidance on how to care for your boat post-application. This includes recommendations on cleaning products and techniques that are safe and effective for maintaining the ceramic surface.
