What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory clear coat or paint creating a hydrophobic layer of strong protection from the harsh UV rays that will deteriorate a vehicle’s clear coat, and cause the color to fade! Also, it protects against dirt, road grime, oxidation, acid rain, bird droppings, and other acidic properties. These things that would normally etch into your original clear coat or paint are now sitting on top of the protective layer of ceramic coating and do not reach the vehicle’s original clear coat or paint.
What Ceramic Coating is Not!
It is NOT 100% impenetrable. Large deep chips, scratches, and damage can penetrate the coating. Again ceramic coating helps protect against small scratches, swirls, water stains, chemical stains, and color fading. Even Superman has his Kryptonite! Ceramic coating’s Kryptonites are drive-through car washes, brushes, dirty wash mitts, and harsh rags that can mar the ceramic coating. Maintenance is important to keep it looking its best for longer!
Ceramic Coating Benefits
A ceramic coating brings added value to your vehicle when it’s time to sell or trade it in. Your vehicle is now registered with the company that manufactures the product and now can be put on its CARFAX report which is recognized by insurance companies and car dealers! It makes washing and cleaning the vehicle a breeze! Contaminants do not stick as they do to an unprotected vehicle, making them much easier to get off!
The hardness of a ceramic coating also helps with minor scratches or swirls developing. And if they do occur they can be polished out without thinning the original clear coat or paint!
