Ceramic coating is a popular aftermarket car modification that many drivers choose these days. It can provide your car with several benefits. However, there will be times when you need to remove the ceramic layer. But, if not removed properly, it can leave a lot of adverse effects on the original paint. So how do you go about doing it properly? In this article, Love’s Auto Detail will show you how to remove the ceramic coating from your car.
Some ways to remove a ceramic coating
There are several methods for removing ceramic from your car. The following methods are the two most common and widely used by many experts for removing ceramic coating with minimal damage to the original paint.
Chemical removal
This process involves using a chemical stripper to break down the bond between the coating and the surface. Chemical strippers are typically made from strong acids or bases, and they can be very effective at removing even the most stubborn coatings. However, they can also be dangerous to use. For this reason, many people prefer to leave chemical removal to the professionals.
Polishing
According to most expert detailers, the best approach to remove a newer ceramic coating is to use a polishing compound and orbital polishers. The polishing process has the ability to ‘cut’ into the tough ceramic coating until you reach the actual clear coating. However, it requires experience with polishing and knowing when you’ve cut through the ceramic coating – and not too deep into the clear coat.
Why do you need to remove a ceramic coating from your car?
A low quality ceramic coating installation
Poor quality installation by unskilled staff will cause defects such as high spots, uneven thickness, trapped dirt and an overall poor finish and quality. A poor ceramic coating application can’t hurt your paint, but it will be ineffective at its job and a waste of money!
Inferior Quality Ceramic Coating Products
Ceramic coatings are not invincible. Even the most professional products will eventually degrade and lose their qualities if they aren’t appropriately protected. Of course, cheaper or poorly installed products will wear down faster. It may be a smaller investment initially, but the reality is you end up spending more in the long run!
Deteriorated condition
Ceramic coatings can be damaged and scratched just like paint. Chemical splashes, UV rays, and water could all potentially damage your automobile. Because the ceramic layer is only a few microns thick, more intense scratches will almost certainly go through the clear coat and beyond.
