How To Ceramic Coat Your New Car! (2024)

- In this video I wanted to create a guide that would help simplify the process of how to ceramic coat your own vehicle at home. Ceramic coatings are basically the detailing industry baseline for vehicle protection now a days, yet I find them still being overcomplicated on a regular basis when they really don't need to be.
This video covers everything from the initial wash, decontamination, polishing, paint prep, and finally the actual application of the ceramic coating(s).
It also works as a short intro to my new Tacoma which you will be seeing quite a bit on the channel. Thanks for watching!

Finally, someone has the balls to admit it.
Love your content and very creative to make a pair of pants from 5 drying towels.
LMFAO. Thanks Dave 😭
I'm 3 videos in today - your channel is incredible. Aesthetic rivals those who have been on YT for 10+years. Incredible work, what an experience in each video.
Thank you brotha! I really appreciate that, it’s a lot of fun for me
Love seeing a tutorial done by someone who clearly knows what they are doing. Your mix of entertainment, creativity, and knowledge is perfect in this video. Chromatic 4ever
You THE man jaspo. Thank you bro ⭐️
I have tons of experience but I’ll watch any video you make because they’re so well filmed.
Haha you’re the man Wes. Much love 🫲🫲
Awesome to see someone go step beyond and add ceramic coating to the plastic trim. There is so much on modern SUVs and trucks that its a must! Proper video 🙌
Sooooo much! Hyundai and Toyota really trying to replace paint with plastic at the same rate EVs replace combustion. Thanks guys!
Most people talk about the durability of paint coatings. It would be interesting to hear more about how the glass and trim coatings hold up in the next 6-8 months. Great video as always man!
I agree man! I look at the glass and trim stuff as more of a once a year maintenance experience. I find it softens the blow when they fail and creates better habits. Thank you though!
Everytime i think of this man, he uploads within a week.
Congrats on the Tacoma, i got a Colorado ZR2 some weeks ago
Haha you’ve got that magic touch. Thanks man! The ZR2 is so good. Was definitely another option but i plan to do an older Toyota truck build soon so I figured this would be better suited
think about him more often :D
The experts in the auto industry ranks the Toyota/Lexus brand most reliable...
Sinchronicity... Please think of him more often 😅
I try to avoid polishing or paint correction unless it's a supercar. and customer wants and pays for it. I'd rather save time charge less and coat and be done with the job asap so I focus on only coating brand new cars.. full wash and decon then panel prep and coat. Polish only increases the gloss. I have never encountered coating lasting less because paint wasn't polished
great video and work on your truck 💪
Thanks man! This sounds like a very dealership oriented opinion haha. I wish you the best
Best of the best the king himself ! Awesome video !
Appreciate you!!🥪🥪
Time to stop everything i`m doing for 35 minutes!!! Missed you my friend!!!! Let's goooo
Haha you know I support this! I appreciate you bro!
I just filmed a video of me washing my new motorcycle, it was tough..... I am so impressed by all the footage you get and how good it looks and your editing style. Amazing job! its always nice to relax and watch some slick detailing.
Thank you very much man! I hope you had fun with your bike!
Lovely soundtrack. Well-spoken. Educational. Therapeutic. Wonderful work, sire.
Thank you very much my friend!
This is the video I've been waiting for! Detailed instructions and specific product named mentioned. Thank you!
Tried to do my best without making it confusing!
My top 5 detailing channel! Great work!
Appreciate you victor!
I'm doing my first 2 stage correction and ceramic coating on my daily this weekend. This could not of been uploaded at a more perfect time. Love the content :)
Heck yeah! Best of luck with it, you’ll kill it!
this video is so satisfying to watch and very intuitive, thank you for the tutorial, you are (probably) an inspiration for many of us brother ! big s/o from Switzerland 🫶🏼
Thank you very much my friend! Much love from Canada and beyond ⭐️⭐️
This is a beautiful video. Thank you for the thought and helpful information.
Thank! I’m glad you saw it helpful
You should invest in a MAD Car Care products tip holder for your mtm gun! One of my favorite purchases this year for detailing!
I’ll check that out man! Sounds helpful Forsure
Dude, you KILL it at what you do. You're amazing my man. Jesus loves you that he died for You. God Bless!
Thank you so much my friend! Much love 🙌
This is a solid video. With all the core elements addressed and nothing more.
I’m glad you think so bro! Thank you
YES you finally got a mic! It sounds so good man! Your information and presentation about coatings is on point, you do coatings the same way I do! The New Tacoma is clean, so what's the first mod? 😆
Haha finally man! Lots of mods done so far! Just gotta catch up on editing 😔😭
Mike always doing the best job, congratulations satisfactory result🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you brother man!🤝🤝🤝
Love the new Tacoma! This video comes just in time for me. I have a 2020 Tacoma and It came with factory installed PPF that is failing...dirt under all the edges at 28k 😓 I will be removing all the PPF and giving it a ceramic coating very soon so thanks for the tutorial 👏
Thanks man! That’s actually perfect bro, remove that PPF and have fresh paint on a 4 year old truck. You’re winning!
I'm really missing E30/E36 Vert/E34 Touring content. But I i have to admit... You can make a video about detailing a Fiat Multipla and you know I'm gonna watch, enjoy, like and comment ❤❤
Thank you bro! There’s a lot of E30 videos coming up, I just had to save a bunch of money to make them happen haha. Hope you have been doing good 🤝
Hey Mike...happy to see you`re back. I hope you enjoyned Bavaria.........I am a very big Fan of Koch Chemie Products, 98 % of my stuff is KC. But wow... the red polish ( 8 or 9 ) with a microfibre pad on a new car ist the biggest gun you can load...the yellow ( 6 ) is enough haze 😅 awsome job dude, very cool car......good to see you are back. Greetings from Bavaria.....
Thanks Alex! I have only done about 6 cars with the Koch Chemie stuff so far but I am in love. It’s a lot of fun to finally move on from griots fast correcting cream. It’s still incredible but new products are fun!
Always a good day when a new Chromatic video drops
My man! 🤝🤝🤝⭐️⭐️⭐️
The detailing king bringing the heat
My microfibre king!
I wait for your uploads man I love what you doing bro
I appreciate that bro! Hope all is well with you
Another great video as always. Good stuff bro!
Thank you brotha!!
Killer truck, killer work!
Thanks Adam!🤝
Man has that unlimited funds glitch. Great content as always.
Haha a few months of NVDA calls and it definitely does feel like that. Thank you bro
Another great video and great soundtrack halfway through 👌🏼
Thank you bro! Hope you have been doing great 🤝
Congrats on the new ride! looks beautiful. I need to get the smaller rupees polishers at some point. Didn't have it the first time I did my car and I noticed a bunch of small areas that I thought I got, but missed which is super annoying but I guess that's the learning process.
Super helpful video as always.
Thanks man! Yeah the smaller areas are really what bring the whole look together with detailing work in my opinion. Next time!
You always select cool music to go with your videos. Kudos!
Thank you bro! Good profile picture
lovely as usual- beautiful truck- stoked to see what you end of doing with it!
Thanks man! Already stuff done, this video is about 3 weeks delayed due to a huge hiccup haha
Gonna try this exact combo on my new to me 04 v8 4Runner I got last week! I’ve installed a ton of coatings but have never put one on any of my cars, I’ve always just used P&S defender 😭
Heck yeah! 4th gen 4Runners are so rad! Haha I was the same way for the longest time but with beadmaker😭
Thanks for the gem tutorial. Inspiring me to get out and do mine after some very much needed maintenance! I haven't watched in awhile but recall you used to use Griots Fast Correcting cream? Switched it up?
I appreciate that man! Yeah I’m starting to switch up a bunch of stuff. I still love FCC but trying new products is kinda what keeps detailing fun and exciting. So I’m dabbling. This Koch Chemie stuff is awesome
congrats on the car brotha! as always, great taste in cars 👌
Thanks brotha!🤝🤝
Let’s go 🎉
ChromaticTheCleaner!🤝⭐️
Awesome video, love the breakdown into simplicity. Are there any coatings you recommend that would do the entire vehicle in one swoop? Or are the separate glass / trim coatings really a must. Side note, it is so refreshing to read through comments on a video with a new Tacoma in it and not see a single keyboard warrior bashing the truck. Thanks for fending off the drama at the beginning.
Thanks Chris! There are a few coatings that are able to go on everything and quite frankly you could put a paint coating on anything as the chemical makeup isn’t very different. However id like to believe that if a company is making very very specific coatings for different substrates that there will be atleast some difference/benefit
congratulations on the new acquisition
Thank you friend!
Dude, did you seriously do all of that in one day!? Admit it.. You have multiple Elton John shirts and multiple pairs of corduroy parachute pants... That would have taken me 2-3 days minimum, but I also have two small children. I've also never corrected a brand new car; I guess it just required a quick once-over with the compound and polish? Either way, great work, as always.
Haha this actually took over a month and I can’t tell ya why! But yeah ideally just a once over with a single step product would be good for most people. However if the dealer does detail the vehicle you may be required to be much more aggressive in the correction area
Congrats on the Taco dudeskie 😎🤙🏼
Thank you brother!🤝
Great job. Let’s see those updates when u post em up.
Great video and truck.👍 I could do with something like that. The roads in Britain are well knackered. Something liike this would be ideal to handle all tne potholes.👍
Haha I feel you! Sometimes it just feels too bad treating a car to the rough roads. Truck always works 🤝
Very nice to see you’re trying out the KC products. What do you think of it in use and performance? And as always, fantastic video! Keep them coming!
Thanks man! So far so good, I really like the compound, I didn’t think I would switch compounds ever haha. Motoplast is also really great. Going to try some more stuff soon!
I saw your t-shirt, re: Elton, his first 8 albums were epi...
Gratuluję nowego auta👍Nie wiem jak toyoty antykorozyjne zabezpieczenia się w USA, ale auta sprzedawane w Europie są bardzo słabo zabezpieczone przez korozją. Zwróć na to uwagę.
Thank you my friend! I will be using a product called honey seal to protect against undercarriage corrosion
Do you still have any plans with the Cayenne, Mike? Or has the Cayenne been replaced by the Tacoma?
Great video as always, happy that you've uploaded again :).
Thanks man! This is replacing the LX. The Cayenne is now in California and will get replaced with an old Toyota probably in the fall 😃
@@ChromaticGarage Ah that makes sense!
Detailers must make bank. Im a firefighter and cant imagine buying a brand new truck. Toyota has notoriously poor paint, surprised you did this.
Employed income VS business ownership are two completely different financial landscapes. But I’m not worried about paint on this, it’s just something to drive everyday!
@@ChromaticGarageI’m also a detailer as a side thing though. My day job pays more. Toyota paint really isn’t the best. It’s the same on these new gen tacomas. Trucks don’t need a ceramic coat. It’s a waste. That being said, if my customer wants it I won’t say no.
Looking tight!
Thank you buddy!
1. When you use microfibre pads the paint is usually hammered, which obviously isn't the case.
2. You should start with the least aggressive approach. Ex medium compound from Koch Chemie with a medium foam pad. Theoretically that should've get the job done judging by the way this paint looks.
Given you made this comment I will assume I have quite a lot more experience than you. Your method mentioned is great for beginners who wants to ease into this but I have done this so many times I simply don’t need to go light to aggressive. It’s always best result first
I laughed at @20:05 it actually makes me so mad dealing with this :D
Haha new paint should be HARD
Question, what are your top three wheel & tire cleaners? Glad your back! As you may know, Toyota/Lexus has been the most reliable auto brand. My daughter just bought new Grand Highlander with the 4 cyl. turbo, very impressive. And I did coat it with Phoenix E.O.D. Kronos, first experience. Now will see on longevity?
That’s awesome man! Excited to see how these new engines perform. I pretty much only use a combo of iron X and brake buster. I really also enjoy Gyeon wheel cleaner but really have only used it when it’s sent to me. Kinda expensive
@@ChromaticGarage Thanks for the reply!
I think you must a 20 cameras going. lol
Haha just the one 😭
Great Video! How are you liking the 1500 drying towel?👀
Thanks guys! Let me put it this way, if my 1500 is in the laundry, I will not be washing that day
oh shi my boy verified now lets go!
Hahaha beeeeen verified, I think?😭
Great video man, been a while, missed your content. What hose are you using with the pressure washer ?
Thank you bro! I believe it’s the kobrajet hose. But I did switch pressure washers entirely about halfway through this video
@@ChromaticGarage Thanks bro. Congrats on the truck, looks very solid.
Amazing
Thank you Alexis!
Listen up people!
Haha the man said so!
I’m stoked you’re dabbling with Koch Chemie! How did you like it?
So far so good man! I really love the compound/polish combo I’m using, not too keen on the pads but will try more. And GSF, Greenstar and Motoplast are soooo nice. Updates too come haha
@@ChromaticGarageI have a ton of their stuff in the garage. Haven’t found a loser yet. The pads are different but they work great
It has been a minute 😜😜😜
Haha this truck disappeared for 2 weeks in the middle of filming this 😭
@@ChromaticGaragedissappeared? How is that?
PR en la casa baby 😎😂✌🏼
starts at 2:02
It actually starts at 00:00 but cheers
Did you ask the dealer to not clean your car off the truck?
You know it! Saves so much time
you're dressed very well for washing a car lool love the fit but I would have 32 stains on it by the time I was done. but anyways i am currently struggling hard with my black volvo, I tried using the least abrasive method to polish the car but have severe holograms. i even bought a dual action polisher in hopes to get rid of it but its still pretty bad. I'm using chemical guys p4 and a finishing foam pad, do I trust the process and go back again to buff it out? I'm super paranoid about burning the clear coat. any advice would be awesome
Looks awesome. What made you use infinite base type 1 instead of base type 2? How’s your experience with gyeon infinite been so far?
I had just used type 2 on another vehicle. Timing of the filming was just off to not show that. So far so good! Just as fun to apply as MOHs but obviously with enhanced performance
So do I have to polish? Can I just skip the polish part and do everything else?
Short answer: Yes, long answer: you really should
Enjoyed the video. Is the clay bar step really necessary on a new car after a decon and before a polish?
In my opinion yes. Any small bit of contamination in that pad can lead to pretty aggressive pig tails and on paint this soft it’s even more likely
@@ChromaticGarage Not a fan of putting the foam on a dry car? Is a more acidic shampoo not necessary?
What chemicals u use for the wheels? It was iron x, and what was the foam?
P&S Brake Buster in the foamer!
what speed were u runnin on the polishers ?
Usually as fast as it will go when cutting and about 3000rpm when polishing
what steps would you take to ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels? i’ve polished my lips multiple times and applied ceramic and it never holds.
Aluminum wheels are very tough as aluminum is almost always in a state of oxidization which coatings don’t react well too. The same thing happens on stainless steel wheel lips. The only thing you can really do is keep applying
@@ChromaticGarage yeah i was told its very porous, i just didn’t know if i was doing something wrong, thanks for getting back to me
Totally understandable if you don’t want to respond to this, but I’m curious. I’ve recently acquired a 1989 Mazda Miata, car is full blown collectors with zero wear and tear. Looks nearly brand new, aside from some swirls in the clear coat from the elderly gentleman who, and I quote “Would detail it after every stop in the car.” So as you can imagine, it’s not bad but it could be great. Only thing is I’m a little nervous to do any kind of polishing or paint work as I know the Miata is a relatively cheap paint and is quite thin. Any advice for getting it to ceramic coat stage without harming its delicate 34 year old paint? Color is red if that’s important at all. Thanks!
That’s awesome man, congratulations on the car. Very cool. There an infinite amount of information on TH-cam about that stuff, I’m sure you have found something by now to point you in the right direction 🤝
@@ChromaticGarage Yep I did some searching, but even your video was very helpful so thank you!
Will that ceramic coat last longer than that engine.
Haha probably not. But the transmission on the other hand? Let’s see if it makes it to next week
Aside from the ceramic coating, will you be rust proofing? Thoughts?
Yessir! I will be doing a product called Honey Seal a little bit closer to winter. Check it out, very very interesting stuff
@@ChromaticGarage Will definitely do, and can't wait for your video on it. Problem I have with Krown is it's super messy and oil gets everywhere. A pain to work on the car even after the following season of application
After applying the ceramic coating. Do you reuse the foam applicators or do you toss them as one time use
No no most definitely toss them away. They become as hard as the coating and would scratch the next vehicle very badly
@@ChromaticGarage does that apply to the 2x microfiber towels you use to wipe the ceramic coat off and flatten?
@@jasona4881 yessir! I let those soak in APC and use them for interiors. Just no more paint for those
FYI, the dealers wanted $2000 (US) to ceramic coat her vehicle...
Haha yeah they’re absolutely taxing. And for the worst of the worst products
I thought this was a video on how to “Ceramic Coat” a new car not “Ceramic Crap”.😂
Haha did I use a crap product? Is Gyeon crap? I’ll call them right now just let me know bro 😭
@@ChromaticGarageNah Bro, Gyeon is a good brand it’s just that I heard Ceramic crap instead of Coat. 🤣
@@Aliumtinnielmfao my bad bro😭
How tall are you?
I think about 5’9-10 ish
First!!!!
😸😸
Dang two buckets aren’t proven.
Haha nothing is ever truly proven, it’s all situational
Any discount code for the UK 👀😉
Soon I hope! Who is your favourite supplier over there?
@@ChromaticGarage slims detailing, huge range of products to be fair
must have missed something now my car has a rainbow hue to it thanks dude smh
You mean a colour changing wrap for a tenth of the cost? You’re welcome 😎
Ugh clean your pads
They’re stained from single stage jobs
@@ChromaticGarage😮 ugh 😑
Should call this video How to ruin your new car lol
wtf are u even yapping about, its literally better than factory now
