“If a vehicle is worth purchasing,
it’s worth protecting!”
IGL also produces a product that is
an industrial grade ceramic coating
called Eclipse. Although Eclipse does
not produce the same gloss effect as
KENZO, it is however better suited for
higher heat and higher abuse areas
such as wheels, brakes, axles, front
and rear steel bumpers, rock rails, tire
carriers and so on. We would apply
Eclipse to those areas listed, so as to
provide a higher level of protection.
Eclipse can and would be applied to
all the exterior plastic trim to protect
it from abuse and fading. Eclipse can
also be used to restore black plastic
to a rich black color as well.
How is a ceramic coating applied?
As with many high-quality ceramic
coatings it is a multiple layer application.
IGL KENZO is a dual layer ceramic
coating (although additional layers
can be applied to provide additional
protection.)
IGL KENZO has a base layer and top
layer. Both are applied in the same
manner. The vehicle is properly wiped
down with a precoat to remove any
dust that has settled or any last
residual compound and polish. Then
the first layer is applied. This is the
base coat.
During the two-hour base coat
curing time, it is best to take this time
to apply the ceramic coating to the
other areas of the vehicle. Here at RI
Motorsports and Detail the other
areas are generally included in the
ceramic coating package or the client
has specifically requested certain
areas be coated. The areas that could
be ceramic coated would include the
wheels, trim, headlights, taillights,
brakes, glass and many others. These
other areas are sometimes an additional
cost and in other cases included
in the cost.
