Kawasaki Z900RS Ceramic Coating
The Kawasaki Z900RS is a motorcycle that blends modern performance with retro styling, paying homage to the legendary Z1. With its muscular stance, sleek lines, and impeccable paintwork, it’s a bike that demands attention. But as any owner knows, maintaining that showroom finish isn’t always easy. Road grime, UV exposure, and the unpredictable British weather can take their toll on the paintwork and exposed surfaces. That’s where professional ceramic coating comes in.
Why Ceramic Coat a Motorcycle?
Unlike a car, a motorcycle’s surfaces are constantly exposed to the elements. Without the protective barrier of ceramic coating, contaminants such as dirt, tar, bird droppings, and even acid rain can etch into the paint and degrade the finish over time. Traditional waxes and sealants offer some protection, but they lack the durability and hydrophobic properties of a high-quality ceramic coating.
Ceramic coating provides a tough, chemical-resistant layer that enhances the gloss of the paint while making cleaning far easier. It prevents dirt from bonding to the surface, meaning maintenance washes become quicker and safer, reducing the risk of swirl marks and scratches.
Our Process: Precision and Attention to Detail
When a stunning Kawasaki Z900RS recently came to us for ceramic coating, we knew this wasn’t just another job—it was an opportunity to protect an iconic machine. Our meticulous approach ensures every inch of the bike is treated correctly.
Step 1: Deep Cleaning and Decontamination
Before any protection can be applied, we begin with a full safe wash to remove surface dirt and grime. Given the intricate nature of motorcycles, we use a combination of PH-neutral cleaners, snow foam, and soft detailing brushes to reach into every crevice. Once the visible dirt is removed, we conduct a chemical and mechanical decontamination process using fallout removers and clay barring to ensure the surface is free from embedded contaminants.
Step 2: Paint Correction and Preparation
Even brand-new motorcycles can have minor imperfections in the paint, whether from factory processes or dealer handling. We carefully inspect the paintwork under high-intensity lighting and carry out minor paint correction where needed to refine the surface, enhancing gloss and clarity before the coating is applied.
Step 3: Application of Ceramic Coating
For a motorcycle like the Z900RS, we apply a professional-grade ceramic coating to the painted surfaces, wheels, exhaust, and even select trim pieces. Unlike generic coatings, our high-specification ceramic protection offers long-lasting durability, resisting heat, chemicals, and everyday contaminants.
For the exposed metal and chrome elements, we use a specialist high-temperature ceramic coating that ensures longevity without affecting the aesthetics of the bike. This not only enhances the deep gloss of the paint but also keeps the exhaust and metalwork looking factory-fresh.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Curing
Once applied, the coating is left to cure, bonding to the surface for maximum strength. After final quality checks, we advise the owner on aftercare, ensuring they get the most out of their newly protected motorcycle.
The Result: A Kawasaki Z900RS Ready for the Road
With its ceramic coating in place, this Kawasaki Z900RS is now equipped to handle the elements without compromising its stunning finish.
