Why Picture Perfect Polish Is the Best Step Before a Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coatings need a flawless surface to properly bond. That’s why Picture Perfect Polish is more than just a one-step correction product—it’s your secret weapon for perfect prep.

TL;DR: Picture Perfect Polish removes swirls, oxidation, and leftover waxes without fillers or oils. It finishes clean—meaning ceramic coatings bond better and last longer.

Why Prep Matters for Ceramic Coatings

Paint prep makes or breaks the results of your ceramic coating. Even the best coating won’t bond properly if the surface has:

  • Light scratches and swirls
  • Waxes, oils, or fillers
  • Oxidation or embedded contaminants

Picture Perfect Polish = Paint Correction + True Clean Finish

Unlike traditional polishes, Picture Perfect Polish contains:

  • Zero fillers or oils – what you see is what you get
  • High cutting power to remove oxidation and swirls
  • Ultra-fine finishing abrasives for a clean, smooth surface

This means once you wipe off Picture Perfect Polish, your surface is ready for a ceramic coating—no IPA wipe-down required (though you still can if you want).
