What are Ceramic Coatings?

Over the years, many of us have turned to waxes, which have long been the go-to choice. Wax has been our trusted method to enhance our vehicle's shine and safeguard it from minor nuisances like bird droppings and dirt.

But times have changed since the first wax application. After numerous iterations, science has unveiled a superior form of protection that far outlasts traditional wax. This is where ceramic coating steps in, outperforming wax by a substantial margin.

Ceramic coating is not just a simple "wax on, wax off" routine like traditional waxing. It entails applying a semi-permanent liquid layer that forms a bond with your vehicle's paint. This layer acts as a shield, enduring the brunt of snow, dirt, and rain, all while safeguarding the clear coat and paint underneath.

Think of it this way: wax is akin to standing outdoors in a rainstorm with an umbrella, while ceramic coating is like finding refuge in a sturdy house. While dancing in the rain is delightful, there comes a time when seeking shelter, for both us and our cars, becomes a sensible choice.

The Advantages of Ceramics

While many coating brands make grandiose claims, I'm here to provide a straightforward perspective on the benefits of ceramic coatings, without exaggeration:

• It only needs to be applied once, sparing you the need for frequent reapplication every three months, unlike previous products.

• It provides double protection that lasts between 3 to 9 years.

• Your car will boast an unmatched deep gloss, a level of elegance not attainable with wax or sealants.

• The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings keep your car cleaner and make maintenance and washing a breeze.

• Overall, it extends your paint's lifespan, offering all the advantages of wax and sealants, but with heightened effects.

Steps in the Coating Process

Prior to applying any coating, proper preparation is essential. This involves a thorough correction process, with various levels of correction available under our paint correction services. Skipping this step significantly diminishes the benefits of the coating.

Distinguishing a Professional Ceramic Coating Installer

An incorrectly applied ceramic coating not only reduces the benefits but may also lead to unsightly smudges across your vehicle. Improper application often results in noticeable imperfections known as 'high spots.' These occur when the coating is left on the vehicle for too long without proper removal.

Choose Wisely

Selecting the right ceramic coating and ensuring its meticulous application greatly impacts the final outcome. Opting for a reputable professional installer ensures you fully capitalize on the benefits while sidestepping pitfalls like high spots. Make an informed decision to safeguard your vehicle with the utmost care and quality.
