2013 Lotus Evora – Ceramic Coating & Lotus Performance are Undefeated

2013 Lotus Evora – Extremely rare – Ceramic coating & decontamination



My client had always driven BMWs. This is his first Lotus and he absolutely loves it.

Saving my Client Very Important Time

When he first reached out to me, he said his main concern was to get the paint corrected and ceramic coated. He was very curious to understand how ceramic coatings could reduce his time spent cleaning it. His goal at the time was to be able to enjoy driving his 2013 Lotus Evora instead of cleaning it all the time.

His problem was that he just didn’t have the time to attempt to paint correct it and install a ceramic coating.

As I was talking with him, I told him that every vehicles paint is different. I explained that one paint may be extremely soft and susceptible to scratches or marring, while one from another manufacturer could be very durable. Polishing Lotus paint can be a very tedious and time consuming process; a lot of patience is required.

Paint Correction and Exterior Ceramic Coating for this Lotus

The fact is that installing a ceramic coating can be an even more extreme of a process. The paint first has to be cleaned, decontaminated, and polished (this will remove most scratches). All the unwanted layers are removed during this process: old wax, compound, and dealership showroom sprays.

This particular 2013 Lotus Evora had been neglected while sitting at a dealership in Texas. (Look at the decontamination pictures below.) While this was fixable, it did take a significant amount of time to complete the work.

My Client is Now the Envy of his Neighborhood

After we fixed the paint, we installed our 5 Year Ceramic Coating on this Lotus. Now, it looks amazing. It has a glass like finish to the paint and the paint is super slick. He is not the envy of his friends and neighbors.

During decontamination process

These pictures show the process of removing all of the contaminants from the paint. The spots that look like oil draining off of the car are in fact old compounds, oils and sealants that have failed and are not protecting the car any more. They have gotten dirty and embedded into the paint and don’t reflect the light anymore. They also cover most blemishes in the paint. This contamination has to be removed so we can see what level of paint correction that needs to be done.
