Ceramic coating, often referred to as nano-ceramic coating or simply “ceramic,” is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. It chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a protective layer on top. The primary purpose of ceramic coating is to offer long-term protection for your vehicle’s paint and other exterior surfaces.

What does ceramic coating do and what are its benefits?

Paint Protection

Ceramic coatings provide a durable, protective layer that shields the vehicle’s paint from various environmental contaminants, such as bird droppings, tree sap, road salts, bug splatter, and UV rays. This helps prevent oxidation, fading, and damage to the paint over time.

Water Repellent

The coated surface has hydrophobic properties and makes it easier for water to bead and slide off the paint. This characteristic helps in preventing water spots.

Chemical Resistance

Ceramic coatings offer resistance against harsh chemicals, including acidic substances found in bird droppings and tree sap. This resistance makes it less likely for these contaminants to etch into the paint.

Enhanced Gloss and Shine

Ceramic coatings often enhance the reflective properties of the paint, providing a deeper and more vibrant gloss. This can contribute to a “wet look” effect on the vehicle’s surface.

Easier Cleaning

Treated surfaces are easier to clean because contaminants are less likely to adhere strongly to the coated surface. Regular maintenance becomes simpler, and washing the car becomes more efficient.

Longevity

While the longevity of ceramic coatings can vary based on factors such as the quality of the product and application, they generally last longer than traditional waxes and sealants. Some ceramic coatings claim to provide protection for several years.

Blocks UV Rays

Just like your skin needs defense from the sun’s UV rays, a car’s paintwork needs to be protected. UV rays fade the paintwork, but ceramic coatings are effective in blocking 99% of UV rays.

Conclusion

Investing in professional ceramic coating is a smart choice for car owners who want to extend the lifespan of their vehicle’s paint and exterior while enjoying numerous benefits.
