WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?

What is Ceramic Coating? Ceramic coatings, also commonly known as glass coatings or nano coatings are defined as a semi-permanent, non-metallic, inorganic protective clear coat, that is applied on several type of different surfaces. Ceramic coatings are utilized in different industries such as automotive, marine and architecture, primarily for its easy-to clean properties and protection against weathering. A Ceramic Coating creates a semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months.

What does ceramic coating do for your vehicle?

Ceramic Coating adds additional protection to your car’s exterior and helps keep it looking like-new with comparatively minimal maintenance. The coating achieves this result by making your vehicle more resilient and easier to clean. There are many benefits to having your vehicle ceramic coated.

Protection from UV Damage / Oxidization

When a vehicle is contently exposed to the sun’s harsh elements year after year, it slowly begins to oxidize over time, which can create fading in the vehicles paint and clear coat. When the vehicle is applied with a ceramic coating, this process adds an additional layer of protection that helps protect the paint from harmful UV damage.

Protection from Satins, Oils and Contaminants

With the added layer of ceramic coating, this process also prevents satins, oils and other road contaminants from bonding to the vehicles paint. This leads us to one of the best benefits to the Ceramic Coating process, ease of cleaning.

Ease of Cleaning

One of the most significant features of a Ceramic Coating is that it is hydrophobic, which is a fancy way of saying it repels water. With normal driving, vehicles come in contact with mud and grime that can easy be removed with less effort when the vehicle is coated. No more tough scrubbing and causing paint damage when cleaning your car.

Additional Shine

Ceramic coating offers additional gloss to your vehicles exterior paint, enhancing the reflective properties to your paint and clear coat. Therefore, your vehicle shines like it did the day it rolled out of the factory, essentially adding value to your vehicle.
