Why Coating Matters

Not All Coatings Are the Same — and Application Makes All the Difference

A ceramic or graphene coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it and the technician applying it. Applied over contaminated or defective paint, a coating locks in every imperfection. Applied incorrectly, it can cure unevenly, streak, or fail prematurely.

As an IGL Coatings certified applicator, we follow the manufacturer's exact preparation and application protocols. We use professional-grade decontamination, paint correction, and panel wipe procedures before every coating installation — because the coating is a finish line, not a fix.

For marine applications, we use the Starke Yacht Technologies and Kenzo graphene systems specifically formulated for gelcoat, glass, stainless, and saltwater exposure.

What Ceramic Coating Does

  • Creates a semi-permanent protective layer over your paint or gelcoat
  • Dramatically increases surface hardness (9H on automotive coatings)
  • Hydrophobic properties repel water, salt, and contaminants
  • UV protection prevents oxidation and fading
  • Chemical resistance against bird droppings, salt spray, and acid rain
  • Reduces cleaning time significantly between details
  • Enhances gloss depth and colour clarity
  • 2–5+ year protection depending on coating tier selected

Professional Coating Products We Use

IGL Coatings — Auto & Marine

IGL (International Graphene Labs) produces some of the most technically advanced coatings on the market. We are certified applicators of the full IGL range — including their automotive ceramic and marine-specific products. Low VOC formulations, exceptional durability, and manufacturer-backed warranty on certified installations.

Starke Yacht Technologies — Marine Systems

Starke is purpose-built for marine environments. Their coating systems are engineered to perform on gelcoat, fibreglass, aluminum, and stainless steel in saltwater conditions — providing superior UV and oxidation resistance for vessels in BC's demanding coastal climate.

Kenzo Graphene Coating

Graphene-enhanced coatings represent the next evolution beyond traditional SiO2 ceramic. Kenzo's graphene formula delivers superior anti-static properties, reduced water spotting, improved flexibility, and longer-lasting protection compared to standard ceramic coatings.

Hyper Hold Pro — Synthetic Sealant

For clients who want strong protection without the full ceramic commitment, Hyper Hold Pro is our high-performance synthetic sealant option. Excellent hydrophobic properties, UV resistance, and gloss enhancement — ideal as a standalone option or as a maintenance layer on existing coatings.

Important: All coating installations require thorough paint or gelcoat correction and decontamination first. We will not apply a coating over defective or contaminated surfaces. This is non-negotiable — it protects your investment and ensures the coating performs as designed. Correction work is quoted separately and completed prior to coating application.

Application Process

How a Coating Installation Works

1

Assessment & Quote

We evaluate your vehicle or vessel condition and provide a written quote covering prep, correction, and coating costs.

2

Wash & Decontamination

Full decontamination wash, clay bar, and iron fallout treatment to remove all surface bonded contamination.

3

Paint / Gelcoat Correction

Machine polishing to remove swirls, oxidation, and defects. The surface must be perfect before any coating goes down.

4

Coating Application & Cure

Panel wipe, coating application in controlled conditions, levelling, and cure time. Final inspection before handover.
