Our Professional Application Process
Every ceramic coating application follows our proven 5-step process for perfect results
Thorough Wash
We begin with a complete exterior wash using premium pH-neutral products to remove all surface dirt, dust, and loose contaminants. This ensures a clean foundation for the coating process.
Clay Bar Treatment
Using clay bars, we meticulously remove embedded contaminants like iron particles, tree sap, and industrial fallout that washing alone can't eliminate. This creates a perfectly smooth surface.
Surface Prep
We carefully polish and prepare the paint surface, removing any minor imperfections and ensuring optimal adhesion. The surface is then chemically decontaminated for maximum coating bond strength.
Coating Application
Our certified technicians apply the ceramic coating in a controlled environment using precise techniques. Each panel is carefully coated and leveled to ensure uniform coverage and optimal protection.
Curing & Inspection
The coating is allowed to cure properly in our controlled environment. After curing, we perform a thorough quality inspection to ensure perfect coverage, proper bonding, and flawless results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a 123 Steam ceramic coating actually last?
Our professional ceramic coatings are engineered to last years rather than months. Real-world longevity depends on the package you choose and how the vehicle is maintained, but with routine contact washes you can expect durable hydrophobic protection that far outlasts traditional waxes or sealants.
Do you prep and correct the paint before coating?
Always. A coating is only as good as the surface beneath it, so every 123 Steam ceramic job includes a wash, iron decontamination, clay-bar treatment, and light machine paint correction. Locking imperfections under the coating is permanent, so we make sure the paint is right first.
Is the ceramic coating done at my home in St. Louis?
Yes. We are a fully mobile operation — we bring our equipment, power, and a clean working setup to your driveway or office parking lot anywhere in the St. Louis metro. There is no shop to drive to and no vehicle drop-off required.
Ceramic coating vs. a regular wax — what is the real difference?
Wax sits on top of the paint and washes away within weeks. A ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat to form a hard, semi-permanent layer that resists UV, chemicals, and light marring while producing far stronger water beading and a deeper gloss that lasts for years.
How do I wash my car after it has been coated?
Coated vehicles are much easier to maintain — most dirt rinses away and a simple pH-neutral contact wash keeps the coating performing. We will walk you through the do's and don'ts so your gloss and hydrophobic properties stay strong for the life of the coating.
Mobile Ceramic Coating in St. Louis — Showroom Gloss at Your Door
At 123 Steam, ceramic coating is what we do best. Before a single drop of coating touches your paint, our specialists fully decontaminate the surface, clay-bar away bonded fallout, and machine-correct light defects so the finish underneath is flawless. Only then do we lay down a ceramic coating in St. Louis that chemically bonds to your clear coat for years of protection — not the weeks you get from a spray wax.
Because we are fully mobile, there is no shop drop-off and no waiting room. We arrive at your driveway in St. Louis with everything needed to deliver a controlled, dust-free application on-site. The result is intense hydrophobic beading, dramatically easier washes, and a hard sacrificial layer that shields against UV fade, bird droppings, bug acids, and light swirls. If long-term paint protection is your goal, 123 Steam ceramic coating is built for exactly that.
Our Professional Ceramic Coating Process
Every ceramic coating service follows our proven 6-step process to ensure perfect results and maximum paint protection for your vehicle.
Thorough Hand Wash
We start with a complete hand wash using pH-neutral soap to remove surface dirt, grime, and contaminants without damaging your paint.
Paint Decontamination
Iron fallout remover and tar remover are applied to eliminate embedded contaminants that washing alone cannot remove.
Clay Bar Treatment
Professional clay bar treatment removes bonded surface contaminants, leaving your paint glass-smooth and ready for coating.
Paint Correction (If Needed)
For Level 3 packages, we perform machine polishing to remove swirl marks and light scratches before coating application.
Ceramic Coating Application
Our certified technicians apply the ceramic coating panel by panel, ensuring complete coverage and proper bonding to your paint.
Curing & Final Inspection
The coating cures under controlled conditions, followed by our detailed inspection to ensure a flawless, protected finish.
Why St. Louis Drivers Choose Professional Ceramic Coating
St. Louis's climate presents unique challenges for vehicle paint protection. The Missouri humidity, subtropical heat, river-basin flooding, and heavy rain can quickly deteriorate unprotected paint. Professional ceramic coating creates a chemical bond with your vehicle's factory paint that traditional waxes and sealants simply cannot match.
Ceramic Coating vs. Traditional Wax and Sealants
While hand wax and paint sealants need reapplication every few weeks or months, ceramic coating provides 1-4 years of continuous protection depending on the package you choose. The hydrophobic properties keep your car cleaner longer, and the UV resistance prevents the oxidation and fading common in St. Louis's sunny climate.
What Makes Our Ceramic Coating Different
Every ceramic coating service from 713 STEAM includes professional clay bar treatment to ensure your paint surface is perfectly smooth before coating. This step is often skipped by budget detailers, but it's essential for achieving the best possible bond and longest-lasting results. Our Level 3 package also includes full paint correction to remove swirl marks and scratches before applying the coating.
Investment That Pays For Itself
Consider the time and money you spend on car washes, waxing, and paint touch-ups. Ceramic coating reduces or eliminates these recurring costs while keeping your vehicle looking showroom-fresh. For St. Louis drivers who take pride in their vehicles, it's not just protection - it's peace of mind.
