Ceramic Coatings
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s paint. It hardens to form a protective, glass-like layer that bonds to the surface, offering long-term protection.
Pros:
Shiny Finish: Makes your car look glossy and slick.
Protection: Shields paint from UV rays, bird droppings, bugs, and light scratches.
Hydrophobic: Water and dirt slide off easily, making washing quicker and easier.
Long-Lasting: Can last 3, 5, or 7 years, depending on the type and care.
Cons:
Not Scratch-Proof: It resists light scratches but won’t stop deep ones or rock chips.
Prep Work is Key: Needs proper paint correction before application for best results.
Cost: Can be expensive if done professionally.
No Instant Magic: Still needs regular care to stay effective.
Maintenance Tips:
Wash Regularly: Use a pH-neutral car soap. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes.
Use the Two-Bucket Method: Reduces chances of scratching the coating.
Top It Up: Use ceramic coating boosters or sprays every few months for added shine and longevity.
Dry Properly: Use microfiber towels or a blower to avoid water spots.
