Ceramic Coatings

What Is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coatings provide a much higher durability than wax. They resist heat, UV rays, environmental contaminants and harsh detergents much better than wax. Wax simply sits on top of the paint's surface. It doesn't create the chemical bond that ceramic coatings do. Ceramic coatings are the next generation of paint protection offerings.

Why You Should Get a Ceramic Coating

Here are just a few things that a ceramic coating provides for your vehicle:

Water Beading and Self-Cleaning

Ceramic coatings create an incredibly slick surface, meaning your paint becomes hydrophobic that allows water drops to roll right off your vehicle, carrying dirt, grime, and contaminants with it rather than allowing them to stick to your paint. Additionally, most ceramic coatings have outstanding anti-dusting properties, resulting in an anti-static surface that acts as a dust repellent, keeping your vehicle cleaner for longer.

Increased Gloss and Shine

Ceramic is basically glass, when applied to a painted surface, it fills in any remaining pores and scratches. As an example, paint correction. When combined with ceramic coatings’ density and it's filling capacities, paint correction creates a glass-like effect that allows light to reflect evenly and magnifies the shine and gloss of your vehicle.

UV Protection and Heat Resistance

Ceramic coatings last far longer time than regular waxes and paint sealants. The longest-lasting wax lasts for up to 3 months, the longest-lasting sealant up to 8 months and the longest-lasting ceramic coating can go 20 years or more.

Ceramic is also great for UV rays because it is extremely heat resistant. The best ceramic coating solutions contain only fine ceramics, withstanding temperatures above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This kind of heat resistance also reduces the possibility of fading and oxidation on the vehicle’s surfaces.

Premium Protection

Ceramic coatings can provide a very thick and measurable layer of protection to a vehicle, depending on the coating and the amount of solid content in the formula. Longer-lasting coatings that are available on the market can sometimes measure up to 8 microns of protection after applying them. Now, compare that to your standard sealant or wax, which both provide measurable difference.
