What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a high-end protection that is applied in a liquid form on the paint of your car, but cures and forms a hard layer on it. When applied it will penetrate the pores of the paint and create a bond with it. This will create a physical barrier between the paint of your car and the outside elements.
How is it applied?
The ceramic coating requires different stages, it is necessary to prepare the paint before applying, here are the steps:
Wash the car
Decontaminate the paint
Polish the car, removing scratches and swirls marks
Wash the car again to remove polish compounds
Dry and Wipe down the car with an alcohol solution to guarantee a clean surface before applying the ceramic coating
Apply the ceramic coating
How long does it last?
The protection lasts from 2 to 4 years depending on how many layers are applied and the maintenance of the coating. It is very important to do the maintenance with a professional detailer.
What are the Pros of ceramic coating?
1- Protect the paint.
The main goal of the ceramic coating is to protect the paint of your car. Unlike traditional waxes, the ceramic coating will not wash away. This ensures that your paint will not deteriorate but instead, the coating will deteriorate over time.
In addition to the protection, the surface will be smoother because of the ceramic filling the pores and this makes it harder for contaminants to stick.
2- Pops the color and the gloss
The ceramic coating will not just protect the paint but will also leave a unique gloss behind, It has high hydrophobic effects and repels dirt making the car cleaner for longer, drawing attention wherever you drive.
3- Protect the paint against scratches
You can have scratches after ceramic coating, the difference is that the scratches will happen on the ceramic coating layer and not on your paint.
4- Protect against external elements.
The ceramic coating protects against elements like:
Hard weather
Sunlight
Bird droppings
Acid Rain
5- No other services are necessary
As ceramic coating can last up to 4 years, you will not need services like paint decontamination, clay bar, polish, waxes, or paint sealants for a long time.
