| What is a ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating is a thick polymer resin that when applied to the paint, hardens and creates a slick glass-like sacrificial layer of protection. A quality coating has a high concentration of Quartz (SiO2), and is much more durable and protective than any wax or sealant, lasting from 2-7 years depending on the coating and how it is maintained.
| Why get a ceramic coating?
-
Our coatings can last 2-7 years, whereas most waxes/sealants won't make it past 3-6 months. Longevity is dependent on how owner takes care of vehicle.
-
The coating’s extreme hydrophobicity yields crazy water-beading and dirt resistance.
-
Paint is protected from UV rays/oxidation, road salt, bird droppings, iron fallout, tar, chemicals … etc. Our professional coating even offers light scratch resistance.
-
Ceramics provide a gloss and shimmer that makes your paint look like a glass mirror.
-
Since coatings are so protective, they make it hard for contaminants to adhere to the surface, and as a result… easy to remove.
-
It is important to note that coatings do not make your car bullet-proof. They can still be damaged by scratches and big stones and can/will get dirty. Ceramic coatings are the best option at their price point when it comes to protecting your vehicle’s paint, but like any other form of protection, they have their limits.
