Every time a car is buffed to remove scratches, hard water spots or any other damage to the painted surface, the paint is diminished by some degree. (Mils is the measurement of paint.)  While waxes and polishes can protect paint, they usually only give a few months of protection depending on the product applied.  Adding a ceramic coating will reduce your chances of scratches or environmental damages, resulting in less maintenance expense as well as a better overall appearance for years to come.

​

For this reason, we as a company will be phasing out polishes and sealants from our business. We will be setting a new standard for automotive protection in North Carolina and the East Coast as a whole.

Why use Shine Shop as an installer?

​

With over 30 years of experience in the automotive reconditioning industry, we have learned that you must constantly evolve and keep up with the technology changes in order to stay ahead.  We are constantly testing and expanding our knowledge of different paints and processes that are necessary to perfect your valuable vehicle.  We have developed a thorough process in which we ensure the best results for ceramic coatings when applied.

​

You must first perfect the paint itself. This means removing any and all imperfections through multiple steps of wet sanding, buffing or polishing. (This depends on your specific paint conditions.) Coatings do not hide anything. They actually accentuate the surfaces that they are applied to.  Proper prep work is critical to a long lasting, perfect, concourse-ready automobile.

 

All of our coating services use advanced Infrared (IR) curing lamps to ensure the absolute best and most durable finish possible. We are the ONLY detailers around using these technologies! By using IR lamps, we can achieve a full cure and hardness level within minutes, as opposed to up to a week when not using IR technologies. If you were to get your freshly coated (not IR cured) car wet within the first 24 hours, you can have severe water spotting issues. But with IR curing, you can safely drive your car away the same day as it was applied, even if it’s raining. Additionally, using IR curing lamps provide a harder barrier, a more consistent finish, and a higher level of gloss as well.
