Ceramic Coating on Citroen SM (Finished Look)

As promised, the finished result of our restored Citroen SM. Though some defects might not be able to be completely removed due to its fragile age and state, but we are quite happy with how it turned out :)

Ceramic Coating on Citroen SM

This collector's piece came all the way from USA to our CS-II Singapore two days ago to be coated with Ceramic Coating.

The thing about restoring an antique car is the uncontested satisfaction you get when you can breathe back some life into it. Citroen SM is a French manufactured high performance coupe, birthed somewhere between in the 1970s.

Despite its rather archaic shape by the standard of our modern sensibilities, this brain child of Robert Opron won a trend award some odd forty years ago for its dramatic appearance and was one of the few to use the features more commonplace in cars today.

Will post more of the finished result tomorrow.

Silicon Dioxide

Because some people asked me what coating is mostly comprise of:

Silicon Dioxide is a common chemical compound found in coating formula. It is also known as silica, which is an oxide of silicon and can be found in nature such as in quartz. Some likes to call it glass coating, however glass in amorphous and non-crystalline. It is solid and transparent.

Ordinary silica-based glasses are normally made of soda-lime glass, which is composed of approx. 75% SiO2, Na2O (NA2CO3), CaO, and minor additives.

So it doesn't contain wax or other such chemically active substance that will either interact with foreign agents or fade away after car washing.

Paint Protection Coating

Paint surfaces are porous and not perfect; containing microscopic peaks and valleys. These irregularities are otherwise known as capillary structure that either contains or will draw contaminants such as fine dirt and minerals.

A nominally uniform coating will help to lessen the coefficient of kinetic friction by filling up the fissures with micro particles to produce a smoother, infinitely glossier surface.
