Revitalizing the Kia Carnival with a Professional Ceramic Coating
As a premier detailing specialist in Asan, Onyx Korea recently had the pleasure of working on a Kia Carnival, transforming its appearance and providing long-lasting protection with a high-quality ceramic coating. The owner shared their impressive feedback, highlighting the vehicle's renewed, showroom-worthy finish. This service goes beyond a simple wash and wax, offering a durable shield against environmental contaminants and enhancing the vehicle's aesthetic appeal.
The Onyx Korea Ceramic Coating Process
Our meticulous approach ensures the best possible results for every vehicle. For the Kia Carnival, the process involved several key stages to guarantee a flawless finish and optimal coating performance.
Installation process:
- Thorough Decontamination: The vehicle was first subjected to a comprehensive wash and decontamination process to remove all surface contaminants, including dirt, grime, tar, and iron fallout.
- Paint Correction: Minor imperfections such as swirl marks and light scratches were addressed through paint correction. This step is crucial for achieving maximum gloss and ensuring the ceramic coating bonds effectively to a pristine surface.
- Ceramic Coating Application: A premium nano coating, specifically chosen for its durability and hydrophobic properties, was carefully applied to all painted surfaces. This creates a hard, protective layer that repels water, dirt, and UV rays.
- Curing and Inspection: The coating was allowed to cure properly, after which a final inspection was conducted to ensure a perfect, streak-free finish.
The result is a stunningly glossy finish that not only looks incredible but is also significantly easier to maintain. The hydrophobic nature of the nano coating causes water and dirt to bead up and roll off, keeping the Carnival cleaner for longer and making future washes a breeze. This investment in a glass coating provides peace of mind and maintains the vehicle's value.
