WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?
On the lift, we look for sticky cedar and fir sap at panel edges, then the dull film left by cottonwood fluff in June and pollen in April–May. On a Bugatti parked under North Shore or Kitsilano trees, that residue holds dirt against the paint until washing can mark it. Bugatti ceramic coating is a liquid layer we apply over fully cleaned, corrected paint. It cures into a thin, hard sacrificial layer that resists light marring and gives sap, pollen, and road film less grip. It will not stop a stone chip or remove wash work. We machine-polish swirl marks, spider-webbing, and oxidation in house before coating; covering them first only locks poor paint under the new layer. For this work, we use CQuartz Professional, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, or Revivify, chosen after we inspect the paint and how the car is stored. The useful decision is whether the paint is ready for correction before coating.
