Prep is 90% of the Work

You can't coat a dirty car. A professional installation requires: Decontamination wash, Iron removal, Clay bar, and at least a One-Step Polish.

The Flash Test

Every coating has a different "flash time." Watch for the rainbow effect on the paint. If you wipe too early, it won't bond. Too late, and you'll get high spots.

Digital Sign-off is Critical

Because coatings are expensive ($800 - $2,000), you MUST have a digital sign-off. Use DetailDeck to upload "After" photos so the client confirms the work is perfect before they drive away.
