WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?

Have you ever thought about applying ceramic coating to your car? Do the popular claims of it preserving your car’s paint job hold true? Is it better than waxing and sealant? Today, we will walk you through the basics of ceramic coating for cars. What it is, what are its advantages and disadvantages, and how it fares versus waxing and other alternatives.

Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent or permanent (depending on the type) of coating that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect it against external paint damage. It is a nanoscopic paint treatment that’s applied in liquid form, but cures to form a hard layer over your vehicle’s paint. It’s typically composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is often sourced from natural materials, including quartz and sand. When the chemicals bond with your car’s paint, they create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) effect.

BENEFITS OF CERAMIC COATING

  • Protection from Harmful UV Rays

Ceramic coating will protect your car’s paint from oxidizing, preventing it from fading and wearing a dull look. This is absolutely critical if you park your car outside.

  • Protection from Chemical Stains

Chemical stains arising from acidic contaminants in the air is another potential damage to your car. A coating will prevent these contaminants from bonding into the paint. With air pollution rate only rising in the city, ceramic coating can be a huge relief.

  • Hydrophobic Properties - Ease of Cleaning

When it comes to waxing and other types of detailing, washing your car becomes a headache. With ceramic coating, you don’t have to worry about the polymer wearing off.

  • High-Gloss

The coating creates a glossy, reflective surface that amplifies your car's natural color and luster. The added depth and clarity make it stand out, giving it a showroom-worthy appearance.

THINGS THAT CERAMIC COATING CANNOT DO

  • Protection from all types of scratches and swirl marks

Ceramic coating will not protect your car from the usual threats: scratches, swirl marks, and rock chips. Despite its blending properties, it still retains the characteristics of paint. This is why you should still expect your car to be at the receiving end of these common, undesirable elements.

  • Protection from water spotting

As discussed before, after the application of ceramic coating, water-based contaminants will bead on your car’s surface and eventually slide off. But they still contain natural minerals and soluble particles that will stay on the surface after the water has evaporated. Ceramic coating cannot get rid of the water spots that are produced as a result, removal of which will require a far more hands-on approach.

  • Stop the need for car wash
