What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle’s exterior to give long-term protection against UV radiation, oxidation, and pollutants. It provides a clear coating that improves the gloss, repels water, and decreases the need for regular washing. It is highly durable and keeps the car looking new for an extended period.

Interior Ceramic Coating: What Is It?

Interior ceramic coating is a specialist treatment for the interior surfaces of a vehicle, including leather, cloth, and plastic. It creates a barrier that repels stains, spills, and UV rays. This coating protects the appearance of the interior, prevents fading, and makes cleaning easier, ensuring long-lasting attractiveness and retaining resale value.

Wheel Ceramic Coating

Wheel ceramic coating is a protective treatment applied to a car’s wheels to enhance their appearance and protect them from various environmental elements. Ceramic coatings are a nanotechnology-based car care product that forms a semi-permanent bond with the surface they are applied to. These coatings typically consist of ceramic nanoparticles suspended in a solvent or carrier fluid.

Is Ceramic Coating Worth It?

Yes, many car owners believe that ceramic coating is worthwhile. It provides long-lasting protection, improves the appearance of the car, minimizes maintenance requirements, and aids in the preservation of its worth over time.

Protection from UV Damage / Oxidization

Car detailing preserves the outside paint from scratches, swirl marks, and UV damage while maintaining the interior in excellent condition, preserving the value of your vehicle. Regular detailing can raise the resale or trade-in value of a vehicle.

Ease of Cleaning

Cleaning is made easier by the ceramic coating. Its hydrophobic qualities repel dirt, grime, and water, making pollutants easier to wash away. The slick and smooth surface also reduces the possibility of scratches, saving time and effort during cleaning routines.

Enhanced Gloss

The gloss and sheen of a vehicle's surface are improved with ceramic coating. The transparent coating layer gives a smooth and reflective surface, emphasizing the color depth and delivering a showroom-like appearance that lasts for an extended amount of time.

FAQ

Can you apply wax over a ceramic coating?

Waxing over a ceramic layer is generally not advised. The ceramic coating provides adequate protection and gloss; adding wax on top may reduce its effectiveness and durability.

Does a ceramic coating mean you never have to wash your car?

No, a ceramic coating does not eliminate the need to wash your car regularly. While it makes cleaning easier and repels dirt, it is still necessary to wash the coating regularly to maintain its effectiveness and overall cleanliness.

How do you maintain a ceramic coating?

Regular washing with a pH-neutral auto shampoo is recommended to maintain a ceramic finish. To revitalize its hydrophobic characteristics and lifespan, avoid harsh chemicals, use a soft microfiber cloth, and regularly use a ceramic coating booster.
