About Ceramic Coating

---

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle’s exterior that chemically bonds with the factory paint. Once cured, it forms a protective, hydrophobic (water-repellent) surface.

• Protection from UV rays: Prevents oxidation and fading.
• Chemical resistance: Shields against bird droppings, bug splatter, and acidic contaminants.
• Hydrophobic properties: Makes the surface water-repellent; dirt and water bead off easily.
• Easier cleaning: Dirt and grime don't stick as much, reducing washing time.
• Enhanced gloss and depth: Leaves a shiny, “wet” look to the paint.
• Long-term paint protection: Can last years compared to traditional waxes 

No. Wax and sealants sit on top of the paint and wear off quickly. Ceramic coating chemically bonds with the paint, offering significantly longer protection—months to years, depending on the product and maintenance. 

It depends on the type (professional vs. DIY) and how well it's maintained. Professional coatings can last 2–5 years or more, while DIY options may last 6–12 months.

No. Ceramic coating is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. It offers some protection against minor swirls and micro-abrasions but won’t stop deep scratches or rock chips.

Yes, but results vary. DIY kits are available but may not last as long or offer the same level of performance as professionally applied coatings. Professional application ensures proper surface prep and durability.  Our trained detailers typically have several years of experience before being trained in Ceramic Coating.  

Ideally, yes. Ceramic coating will lock in any imperfections, including swirl marks and scratches. Paint correction ensures the best visual result before sealing the paint. We perform a full cut and polish on your car's paint work before applying Ceramic Coating, even if it is a brand new car, as there can be many paint imperfections straight out of the factory.

• Wash regularly using pH-neutral soap.
• Avoid automatic car washes with brushes.
• Use a microfiber drying towel.
• Apply maintenance sprays designed for ceramic coatings periodically.

Yes, especially if you value your vehicle’s appearance and want long-term protection with reduced maintenance. It can also improve resale value and keep your car looking newer, longer.
