While most car enthusiasts know about ceramic coatings for paint protection, few realize that the same level of care can—and should—be given to a vehicle’s interior. Ceramic coatings are not just for exteriors anymore. Today’s advanced ceramic technologies can safeguard your car’s interior surfaces like leather, plastic, vinyl, and fabric against UV damage, stains, fading, and grime.
In this guide, the experts at Las Bespoke Surrey BC explain how to apply a ceramic coating to your car’s interior step by step, ensuring long-lasting protection and a luxury finish.
Why Ceramic Coat Your Car’s Interior?
Before we dive into the application process, here’s why interior ceramic coating is worth considering:
- UV Protection: Prevents sun damage and fading.
- Stain Resistance: Blocks spills from soaking into leather or fabric.
- Easier Cleaning: Makes wiping off dust, oils, and grime much easier.
- Longevity: Extends the life of interior materials.
- Enhanced Appearance: Maintains that fresh, like-new look.
Whether you’re a detailing pro or a DIY enthusiast, ceramic coating your car’s interior can be a game changer.
What Surfaces Can You Apply Interior Ceramic Coating On?
Ceramic coatings can be safely applied to the following surfaces:
- Leather seats and trim
- Vinyl dashboards and door panels
- Plastic components
- Fabric upholstery and carpets
- Rubber trims and floor mats
However, make sure the ceramic coating product you choose is rated for that specific surface type. At Las Bespoke Surrey BC, we use only the highest-quality, tested coatings for each material.
What You’ll Need
Before beginning, gather these supplies:
- pH-neutral interior cleaner or all-purpose cleaner
- Interior detailing brushes or microfiber towels
- Surface-specific ceramic coating (leather, plastic, fabric, etc.)
- Microfiber applicator pads
- Gloves (nitrile preferred)
- UV-protective lighting (optional but helpful)
- Soft interior brush or steamer for deep cleaning (recommended)
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply Ceramic Coating to Your Car’s Interior
Step 1: Thoroughly Clean All Surfaces
Surface preparation is the most important part of the process. A dirty surface will prevent the coating from bonding properly.
- Use an interior-safe cleaner on leather, vinyl, or plastic.
- Scrub gently using a microfiber towel or brush.
- For fabric seats or carpets, use a steamer or extract dirt using an upholstery cleaner.
- Allow everything to dry completely before applying any coating.
Pro Tip: Don’t rush this step—any leftover oils, dust, or residues can hinder the performance of your coating.
Step 2: Apply the Ceramic Coating
Once surfaces are clean and dry, it’s time to apply the coating.
- Shake the bottle of ceramic coating well.
- Apply a few drops of the product to a microfiber applicator pad.
- Lightly and evenly wipe the surface using straight lines.
- Allow the coating to sit for the manufacturer’s recommended dwell time (usually 1–3 minutes).
- Gently buff off excess using a clean microfiber towel.
Repeat this process for each material using the appropriate coating.
Step 3: Cure the Coating
Most ceramic coatings require curing time for optimal bonding.
- Avoid contact with moisture or spills for at least 24–48 hours.
- Some coatings continue to harden and protect over the course of a week.
If available, park your car indoors or in a shaded, dry area while curing.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Once your interior ceramic coating is applied, maintenance becomes much easier:
- Regularly dust and wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth.
- For leather, use a pH-neutral leather cleaner monthly.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
- Reapply or refresh coatings annually or as recommended.
At Las Bespoke Surrey BC, we offer maintenance services to help keep your ceramic-coated interior in top shape year-round.
