Protect Your New Genesis GV70 with Professional Ceramic Coating
Purchasing a new car like the Genesis GV70 is exciting, but the worry of paint damage and contamination can quickly follow. Especially for a vehicle with such a striking design, maintaining its pristine gloss is paramount. This is where professional ceramic coating, also known as nano coating or glass coating, becomes essential. If you're looking to preserve your new car's condition, a ceramic coating service is the ideal solution. This review details the Privilege ceramic coating application on a Genesis GV70 at Today's Car Dongtan, highlighting the meticulous process and the remarkable results.
The Importance of Pre-Coating Preparation
A new car's paintwork is vulnerable, lacking any protective layer against daily wear and tear. Micro-scratches from driving, UV damage, and environmental contaminants can quickly diminish its appearance. Professional ceramic coating acts as a robust shield, preserving the vehicle's factory finish. The process begins with a thorough inspection of the vehicle's current condition, even new cars can have minor transport or dealership-induced imperfections. Using specialized lighting, technicians identify and document any existing scratches or contaminants, discussing the best approach with the owner.
The initial step involves a comprehensive wash to remove all surface dirt and grime. This includes high-pressure rinsing, gentle cleaning with pH-neutral car shampoo, and specialized cleaners for wheels, tires, and intricate areas. Following the wash, a crucial degreasing process removes any residual oils or silicones from the paint surface. This ensures optimal adhesion of the ceramic coating, preventing future lifting or streaking. Areas not intended for coating, such as glass, plastic trim, and rubber seals, are meticulously protected with masking tape. This attention to detail is vital for a flawless finish.
Ceramic Coating Application and Benefits
Before the coating is applied, deep-seated contaminants like iron particles and tar must be removed. This is achieved using a clay bar or specialized iron removers, ensuring the paint surface is perfectly smooth and clean. Only then can the ceramic coating be applied. The Privilege ceramic coating used in this service forms a hard, protective layer that enhances gloss, repels water and dirt, and makes future cleaning significantly easier. The hydrophobic properties cause water to bead and roll off, taking contaminants with it.
Installation process:
- Thorough vehicle decontamination including washing, degreasing, and clay bar treatment.
- Meticulous masking of non-coated surfaces like trim and glass.
- Even application of the Privilege ceramic coating using specialized applicators.
- Buffing off excess coating and allowing it to cure for maximum hardness and durability.
The result is a stunning, deep gloss that significantly enhances the Genesis GV70's aesthetic appeal, while providing long-lasting protection against the elements. The hydrophobic effect also contributes to easier maintenance, keeping the vehicle cleaner for longer periods.

Q. What is the difference between ceramic coating and PPF for a Genesis GV70?
Ceramic coating provides chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties for gloss and ease of cleaning, while Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thicker, clear urethane film primarily designed to protect against physical impact like rock chips and scratches. For comprehensive protection, many owners opt for a combination of both.
