Ceramic coating on Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223: ₩1,500,000. Enhanced gloss and hydrophobic protection.
Premium Ceramic Coating for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223
At Heart's, a premium multi-shop located in Dongtan 2 New City, we recently had the opportunity to apply a high-quality ceramic coating to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223, specifically a Maybach conversion model. This prestigious vehicle deserved a finish that not only enhanced its already luxurious appearance but also provided long-lasting protection against the elements. The goal was to achieve a deep, mirror-like shine and a hydrophobic surface that repels water and contaminants, making maintenance significantly easier.
The Ceramic Coating Process and Results
The application of a ceramic coating is a meticulous process that requires precision and expertise. For this Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223, the entire vehicle underwent a comprehensive paint correction to remove any imperfections, swirl marks, or scratches, ensuring a flawless surface for the coating. Following the paint correction, a specialized nano coating was carefully applied. This glass coating forms a durable, semi-permanent bond with the vehicle's paintwork, creating a significantly harder and more resilient layer than traditional waxes or sealants. The result is a stunning, glossy finish that not only looks incredible but also offers superior protection against UV rays, chemical stains, and minor abrasions. The hydrophobic properties mean water beads up and rolls off effortlessly, taking dirt and grime with it, leaving the S-Class looking cleaner for longer.
Installation process:
- Thorough wash and decontamination of the entire vehicle.
- Multi-stage paint correction to remove imperfections and prepare the surface.
- Careful application of the ceramic coating layer by layer.
- Inspection and final wipe-down to ensure a perfect finish.
- Allowing the coating to cure to achieve maximum hardness and durability.
