This is what REAL paint protection prep looks like. 👀🔥
A ceramic coating is only as good as the surface underneath it — so before we ever opened the bottle, this car went through the full process:
🧼 Thorough wash
🧪 Chemical decontamination
🧱 Clay-bar treatment
✨ 2-stage paint correction
🛡️ Ceramic coating application
The goal wasn’t just to make it shine. We wanted to properly clean and correct the paint first, remove years of defects, and create the best possible surface for the coating to bond to.
And that final water test? 💦
That’s the hydrophobic reaction doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — water beads up and moves off the surface instead of sitting on the paint.
At Nu Image Detail, the difference is in the preparation. We don’t just coat cars — we restore, correct, and protect them.
