Ceramic coating has been gaining more and more popularity over the last number of years. In this article we will address some of the commonly asked questions and why you should consider applying it to your vehicle.
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a protective liquid polymer product that is applied to the exterior of the vehicle. This coating is a liquid made up of nanoparticles that when applied hardens to a virtually impermeable surface that is chemically bonded to the vehicle's surface.
When applied correctly, ceramic coatings do not delaminate or chip off the surface that is is applied to. Ceramic coatings are considered “semi-permanent” and will remain on the surface until it is abraded off.
Once cured, ceramic coatings display water repellent properties, increase glossiness, resist chemicals, and add UV blockage to prevent color fading and oxidation. Think of it as a second sacrificial layer of protection for your cars paint.
Why Ceramic Coat Your Car
1. Car Paint Protection
A ceramic coating provides long term protection on the car’s body that blocks road debris, chemicals, and UV rays from damaging your car's paint. This damage ranges from accidental scratches due to mud and dirt to other contaminants on the road. The ceramic coating acts as a second layer that can withstand a great deal of damage without showing effect on the body of the car.
2. Longer Lasting Than Traditional Waxes
Ceramic Coatings are fused to the surface of your car, where traditional waxes and sealants wear off over time when exposed to weather and acidic atmosphere conditions. Nano-coatings are designed to last years. (Our top selling Ceramic Pro Coatings are the 5 Year Coating and Lifetime Ceramic Coating).
3. Ceramic Coated Cars Stay Cleaner For Longer
The paint on a ceramic coated vehicle stays cleaner for longer and is extremely smooth. This means that dirt comes in contact with the coating and has trouble sticking to the extra glossy and smooth surface causing mud and debris to “roll off” the surface.
4. Eliminates Waxing
Ceramic Coatings Eliminate the need for regular waxing applications, once applied the surface of your vehicle should remain safe for a long period of time.
The coatings last much longer than wax, and provides scratch resistance to the paint surface–which is a huge benefit. It also makes cleaning your vehicle a breeze due to its hydrophobic coating properties.
5. Cheaper Than Waxes In The Long Run
Ceramic coatings may seem more expensive than waxes and sealants, but when you compare longevity of the product and timely detailing appointments for waxing, it works out to be cheaper in the long run. Typically the protection of waxes range from 1-6 months whereas ceramic coatings generally last years and will reduce costly recurring maintenance expenses.
