What is a Ceramic Coating?

  • Ceramic Coating

    The word “ceramic” is thrown around the detailing industry and car enthusiast world so often these days. Many people spends exorbant amounts of money on getting it done to their vehicle and others find a way to do it for nearly nothing… I am not a chemist so I will keep it fairly simple …A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer which is applied to a vehicle’s exterior paint. The reason behind the coatings are to create a durable, high gloss, sacrificial protective layer over your vehicles paint that allows for easy maintenance and beautiful visual appearance. There isn’t just one ceramic coating manufacturer. Ceramic coatings come in all sizes, longevity and durability so it can be quite overwhelming to grasp. Do not worry, If your reading this now you’ve come to the right place.

  • Benefits of a Coating

    Hydrophobic Effect: A ceramic coating makes the surface highly water-repellent, causing water and dirt to bead up and slide off easily.

    Enhanced Appearance: One of reasons many choose to coat their vehicles is for the visual appearance of a clean coated vehicle. There is a glossy, mirror-like almost wet looking appearance that cannot be duplicated by modern waxes or sealants.

    Durability: A High-quality ceramic coatings can last for several years with proper maintenance. Like most anything in life, the coating will fail if not treated properly.

    Ease of Cleaning: Since dirt and grime have a harder time sticking to the coated surface, washing the car becomes easier. The process of washing the vehicle will be like never before. The wash mitt glides across so smoothly and with a proper soap and wash media it’s almost fun to clean!

    Not Scratch-Proof: Although a quality coating can resist minor abrasions, it is not a coat of armor. Ceramic coatings won’t prevent deep scratches or dents and will need proper maintenance to perform at optimal level.

  • Do I need a Ceramic Coating?

    Truthful answer is NO!! You don’t NEED a ceramic coating on your vehicle but would you benefit from having one? The answer to that is 100% YES!!

    Vehicle purchases these days are quite an investment so why wouldn’t you want to protect it. A coating isn’t another warranty that you pay for and never use. A ceramic coating is a product physically applied to your vehicles paint and it starts working for you the very same day. You reap the benefits of driving around in a vehicle that not only has a beautiful, high gloss, better than factory finish but also protecting your paint for years to come.

    Ceramic coating are not just for new vehicles either. Any vehicle can benefit from adding a ceramic coating. The ease of cleaning and not having to wax your vehicle after every wash is alone a great reason to add a coating. I own multiple older vehicles and they all get coated. It makes it so much easier to up keep and they look amazing after just a wash as the coating once cleaned appears as it was just applied.

    Ceramic Coatings can be applied to boats, autos, motorcycles, rvs and more..
