Ceramic Sealant, Ceramic Wax & The Paint Decontamination Kit
South Florida paint fights salt air, brutal UV, and sudden afternoon rain every day. Here is how the three layers of protection we offer stack up — and when each one earns its place.
Included With The Exterior
Ceramic Sealant · 3 Months
A spray-on SiO2 sealant applied to fresh, clean paint. It cures into a slick hydrophobic layer that beads rain, sheets off salt spray, and adds a noticeable depth of gloss. Designed as the baseline of protection on every Exterior detail — fast, effective, and dialed in for our climate.
- • Up to 3 months of hydrophobic protection
- • Adds gloss and slickness to clear coat
- • Helps shed bug residue, sap, and water spots
Recommended Upgrade · Included In The McRae
Paint Decontamination Kit
Even a clean-looking finish carries bonded contaminants the wash mitt cannot lift — brake-dust iron, industrial fallout, sap, and embedded road grime. Sealing over them traps the damage underneath. The Paint Decontamination Kit strips paint back to bare clear coat, then locks it in with a hand-applied 6-month ceramic wax.
- 1 · Full-Body Iron Removal. A chemical iron dissolver bleeds out metallic particles embedded from brake dust and rail dust.
- 2 · Clay Decontamination. A clay bar glides across lubricated paint and pulls bonded contaminants out of the clear coat, leaving it glass-smooth.
- 3 · 6-Month Hand-Applied Ceramic Wax. A premium SiO2 ceramic wax laid down by hand — twice the protection and depth of the base sealant.
Available as a flat +$100 add-on on any vehicle. Bundled at a discount inside The McRae — the easiest way to step into long-term protection.
Why The Upgrade Is Worth It
The base ceramic sealant keeps a freshly-detailed car looking sharp between visits. The Paint Decontamination Kit goes further — it removes what the wash cannot, then doubles the protection window. For daily drivers parked outdoors, near the water, or under tree cover, the upgrade keeps paint cleaner longer and protects resale finish.
