Paint Correction on a Tesla
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction involves using a compound or polish, pads, and an electric buffer/polisher to level the paint of a vehicle.
Paint correcting eliminates swirls and imperfections from either factory or aged paint. Once completed, surface prep spray is used to remove oils and debris left by polishing compounds for a clean surface for the coating.
Then a detailer will apply a smooth, even coat of ceramic on every visible part of the vehicle. The ceramic coating amplifies what's underneath it, so any imperfections in the paint will be visible. Prime Time Mobile Detailing is a certified install of Ceramic Coating so you don’t have to worry about imperfections.
Step One, choose your level of Paint Correction Prep.

You may be thinking...
🤓 What is Ceramic Coating?
The ceramic coating provides an extra layer of protection to your car’s body. Prime Time Mobile Detailing is a certified installer of Ceramic Pro. 9H Ceramic coating is specifically designed to block foreign matter and prevent it from scratching or causing damage to your vehicle. Our ceramic coating is glossy and superhydrophobic, repelling dirt and water and resistant to scratches, chips and swirls. It also blocks the majority of contaminants you might encounter while on the road. 10H Diamond ceramic coatings test for abrasion, impact resistance, adhesion, oxidation, gloss, UV resistance, yellowing, drying times, chemical resistance and more. And all of these tests and features are important aspects in a 10H ceramic coating. 10H is definitely harder than 9H.
🤔 Why get a ceramic coating?
The biggest advantage of Ceramic coating is that it protects your car longer. Traditional car coatings like wax or sealants may offer some protection, but they do wear off with time, especially when exposed to the harsh elements. Ceramic coating, on the other hand, hardens with time and builds a protective shield around your car which can last for years.
At Prime Time Mobile Detailing, our Ceramic coating have unrivaled hardiness which prevents any contaminants from sticking to the surface of your car. This ensures your car preserves its pristine state. Additionally, the ceramic coating protects against UV Rays that can oxidize the car’s paint, as well as the harmful effects of acidic rain, bird droppings or tree sap that may stay or etch the paint.
🚗 The Ceramic coating process (step-by-step)...
The time it takes to apply the ceramic coating depends on the vehicle size, its condition, as well as the coating package of your choice. Typically, we can complete the ceramic coating application on newer vehicles faster than on older ones (as the older cars may require a paint correction and a decontamination to restore the surfaces to a like-new condition).
Usually, the ceramic application will take anywhere between 4 and 8 hours to complete (exact times may vary based on specific circumstances). In case your vehicle requires a multi-stage paint correction, the process may take longer and additional costs may be incurred. At Prime Time Mobile Detail, we make sure to provide accurate quotes as soon as we have completed vehicle inspection to ensure transparency.
Once the vehicle is coated, we recommend waiting 48 hours for the natural drying process to complete – this way, you can enjoy the best results. The price of the ceramic coating varies based on the vehicle size and its condition, as well as the coating package. However, in any case, a ceramic coating will save you time and money in the long-term as it makes your car easier to clean and maintain and once applied, you won’t have to bother with waxing it ever again!
✨ What is Spray Ceramics?
In addition, we also offer a special, fast-reacting state-of-the-art spray ceramics process. The water-based nanoparticle Si02 (silica sealant) spray-on and wipe in formula takes anywhere between 2 and 3 hours to apply and lasts for about 6 months if vehicle isn't garage kept. The highly refined compound builds a near-instant surface gloss and long-lasting protection when applied to the exterior of your vehicle. This helps prevent fine micro scratches. The spray ceramics process is suitable for exterior surfaces, as well as glass, rubber and plastics and produces an immediate anti-static result, making surfaces easy to clean.
The spray ceramics can be used on its own or as a booster to prolong Spray Ceramics can be used by itself and is also the perfect booster to maintain Ceramic base application. The cost for Spray Ceramics is typically half the cost of the Applicator process due to how easy to apply and less total protection.
👍 Ceramic Maintenance Care
Once your vehicle has been coated by Prime Time Mobile Detailing Ceramic Coating, you can simply continue to wash your car as usual, although you will not need to clean it as frequently you will never wax your car again! Our Ceramic Coating uses 9H technology that comes with a 5 year warranty or 10h Diamond is lifetime warranty and our Ceramic Spray comes with a 12 month warranty or 2 year warranty on our top coat. Our annual maintenance package includes washing the vehicle, clay bar, decontaminating and most important applying SIO2 Sport boost spray once a year.
For best exterior cleaning results, wash vehicle on a weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build up, and avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting. Always dry completely, and using quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water. Or ask us about our Ceramic Coating After care product, that helps you keep your vehicle clean between the annual maintenance.
