Ceramic Coating for Your Genesis GV80
This review details the ceramic coating application on a Genesis GV80 by D.O.B Detail in Yeongjong. The service aims to provide a durable, hydrophobic layer that enhances the vehicle's appearance and protects its paintwork. The process involves meticulous preparation and expert application of advanced nano-coating technology.
The D.O.B Detail Experience
Before the detailing, the Genesis GV80 was thoroughly inspected. The initial state of the paintwork is crucial for the final outcome of any ceramic coating. D.O.B Detail emphasizes a comprehensive approach, ensuring every surface is prepared to perfection. The ceramic coating, also referred to as nano coating or glass coating, creates a semi-permanent bond with the factory paint, offering superior protection against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches.
Installation Process:
- Thorough Wash and Decontamination: The vehicle is meticulously washed to remove all surface dirt and grime. This is followed by a chemical decontamination to strip away any existing wax, sealant, or bonded contaminants.
- Paint Correction: Minor imperfections like swirl marks and scratches are addressed through machine polishing to create a flawless surface for the coating.
- Surface Wiping: An IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) solution is used to wipe down the entire vehicle, removing any polishing oils and ensuring the paint surface is completely clean and ready for bonding.
- Ceramic Coating Application: The ceramic coating is carefully applied panel by panel using specialized applicators.
- Inspection and Curing: The coating is inspected for high spots or streaks, and the vehicle is left to cure in a controlled environment to ensure maximum hardness and durability.
The result is a deep, glossy finish that not only looks stunning but also makes future cleaning significantly easier due to the hydrophobic properties of the nano coating. The ₩700,000 price point reflects the premium nature of the service and the long-lasting protection it offers.
