The coatings will cure enough to drive outside within 48 hours. Depending on the type of ceramic coating, the typical curing process takes up to two weeks. This is the period that we recommend waiting before washing the vehicle. The PPF installation is intended to deflect small road debris, protect the factory finish from minor scratching, and reduce the potential of rock chips.  The Ultimate Armor package’s second step is applying Ceramic Pro’s coatings to other exterior surfaces. This ensures that the vehicle’s entire exterior is protected against exposure to UV rays, chemical contamination, natural toxins, and more.  Each Ultimate Armor package is customize for the owner’s specific vehicle. Your Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer will fully explain the installation process.
