Ceramic coating is an exterior vehicle finish that helps to preserve the surface of your car.
It uses nanotechnology to form a thin, completely transparent film that serves as a microscopic layer of protection. The particles of the coating bond to the surface of a car, making it water-repellent. In addition, it is also resistant to UV rays and chemical stains.
Here at New Age Polish, we are an approved applicator of the KubeBond Diamond 9H ceramic coating in Singapore. We are equipped to provide you with the highest level of protection for your car, ensuring that it stays in tip-top condition.
KubeBond Diamond 9H Ceramic Coating
The Diamond 9H is a transparent liquid that transforms into a durable and shiny protective film on the car’s surface when applied. It requires minimal maintenance while providing superior paint protection.
As mentioned, ceramic coating makes the surface of your car water-resistant. This causes water to bead on its surface and slide off easily.
In addition, the coating makes it tough for mud and dirt to bond to the paint of your vehicle. As a result, contaminants can be removed with considerably less amount of effort.
Ceramic coating is extremely durable because it bonds with the paint’s molecules. This makes it virtually impossible to dislodge the coating using external force or vibrations.
The Diamond 9H is a quality product that has been tested and certified by a number of leading certification companies including SGS, ISO, IMO and REACH.

If you are looking for a cost effective option, waxing may be ideal. However, it has a shorter lifespan than other forms of paint protection.
If you have a larger budget, you may want to consider ceramic coating or paint protection film as both offer a better and more lasting protection.
Ceramic Car Coating Application Process
Polishing of the car exterior
The car is cleaned and polished to remove impurities from its exterior. This reduces the risk of imperfections and allows the ceramic coating to bond better.
Application of the ceramic coating
The ceramic coating will then be applied onto the car using a spray to ensure an even application.
While the coating makes your car look cleaner, it does not eliminate the need for regular maintenance.
Washing your car regularly can prevent and remove contaminant build-up on the surface of your vehicle. This prolongs the life of the ceramic coating.
As a general rule, you should wash your car at least once a week or fortnightly.
Avoid washing your vehicle in direct sunlight
Exposing your vehicle to direct sunlight generates heat – an element known to be detrimental to professional car coatings. Thus, it is important that you wash the car in a shaded area such as a sheltered carpark.
Alternatively, you can wash your car in the evening or at night, where there is less sunlight.
Use a dedicated car wash product
Soaps and shampoos that are not formulated for cars may contain harsh chemical agents, contaminants, or abrasives that will damage your vehicle.
As such, car owners are recommended to stick to a high-quality automotive-specific soap or shampoo.
Use the two-bucket approach to washing
The two-buckets method involves the usage of two buckets; one is filled with soap while the other is filled with water.
To use this method,
dunk the dirty mitt/sponge/cloth into a bucket filled with water to rinse it clean and
dip it into the second bucket filled with soap before proceeding to wash the next panel of your car.
Doing this helps to greatly reduce the chance of reintroducing debris that has been previously removed.
Avoid going to an automatic car wash
Automatic washes use brushes with highly abrasive bristles that can damage the exterior of your car. They also tend to retain debris and contaminants from previous washes. This can cause deep micro scratches to the coating of your vehicle.
Therefore, you should avoid having your car washed at an automatic car wash.

This is my first time owning a car, so war rather apprehensive about sending a new car to a detailer. I had texted Gabriel prior to ask him questions and he helped me understand the effect of the coating. Eventually, I did the intermediate coating with New Age. Gabriel was super patient and answered all my questions on site; he was also thorough with his explanations and kept me updated along the way as his team performed the coating. He even gave me a cloth and taught me how to prevent water spotting after rain. I'm pleased with their service, and recommend Gabriel and team!

Not sure what happened to guys here. Have read good reviews about them. Gabriel and team where accommodating but took a few trips to finally be accepting the outcome of the services. Although there are many out there who don’t rectify post service. New age did do the rectification.Gabriel and team tries to do their best. Giving 4 stars only because of the lack of thoroughness. For listening and resolving issues New Age Polish gets full stars.
