CERAMIC COATINGS

A ceramic coating for cars is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. Once applied, it chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a protective layer on top. The primary purpose of a ceramic coating is to provide long-term protection for the vehicle's paint and other surfaces.

​

Key characteristics of ceramic coatings include:

​

  • Hydrophobic Properties:

  • Ceramic coatings exhibit hydrophobic characteristics, meaning they repel water. This helps to prevent water spots and makes it easier to clean the vehicle.

  • Chemical Resistance:

  • The coating creates a chemical bond with the factory paint, offering resistance against environmental contaminants such as bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, and harsh chemicals.

  • UV Protection:

  • Ceramic coatings can provide some level of protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping to prevent oxidation and fading of the paint.

  • Enhanced Gloss:

  • The application of a ceramic coating can enhance the vehicle's appearance by providing a glossy and sleek finish.

  • Scratch Resistance:

  • While not completely scratch-proof, ceramic coatings can add a level of scratch resistance to the paint, helping to minimize the impact of minor scratches and swirl marks.

  • Ease of Cleaning:

  • The hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings makes it easier to clean the vehicle. Dirt and contaminants are less likely to adhere to the coated surface.

  • ​

It's important to note that ceramic coatings should be applied to clean and properly prepared surfaces. The application process often involves thorough cleaning, decontamination, and sometimes paint correction (to address existing imperfections) before applying the ceramic coating.

​

Ceramic coatings are considered a semi-permanent solution, lasting longer than traditional waxes and sealants. However, they do not provide complete invincibility, and proper care and maintenance are still required to preserve the coating's effectiveness over time. Professional application is recommended for optimal results.
