Ceramic Coating, what is it? And what are the benefits?
How I like to replay to the question what is a ceramic coating, however this answer isn’t totally accurate is “think of it as a super wax”
In my experience this gets the “basic” understanding of what a ceramic coating is very quickly.
To add more meat on to the bone a professional-grade ceramic coating is a type of liquid polymer that is applied the exterior of a car to create a protective layer.
Unlike a wax that might last a few months at best a ceramic coating is long-lasting with an unravelled glossy finish that is resistant to dirt, UV rays, and other environmental contaminants to name just a few benefits.
The coating will also reduces the need for frequent washing and “waxing” additionally, The main benefits of ceramic coating are increased protection of the paint, glass and wheels increased longevity of the car’s finish, and increased shine and lustre for up to 5 years.
Results:
- Unrivalled depth of gloss and stunning looks to all applied surfaces of your vehicle
- Protection from harmful environmental oxidation & UV Rays
- Prevents harmful damage from road tar & tree sap
- So much easier to keep clean & well maintained
- Resistant to bug guts & bird bomb damage
- Superb hydrophobic properties
- Up to 5-years of surface protection
- Resistant to minor scratchesPlus, much more… Ceramic Coating is that good!
Disadvantages:
- Difficult to apply. Ceramic coating needs to be applied by a trained professional in order to get the best end results.
- Cannot be used on all surfaces. Ceramic coating can only be used on certain types of substrates, such as paintwork and glass.
- Long-lasting but not permanent. Ceramic coating will eventually wear off over time and will need to be reapplied
Advantages:
- Increased protection of the paint. Ceramic coating provides a durable, protective layer that is resistant to dirt, UV rays, and other environmental contaminants.
- Increased longevity of the car’s finish. Ceramic coating helps to reduce the need for frequent washing and waxing and preserves the car’s finish for longer.
- Increased shine and gloss levels. Ceramic coating helps to boost the shine of the car’s paintwork, glass and wheels making it look phenomenal year on year.
- Very easy to clean and maintain. Ceramic coated vehicles are much easier to maintain compared to other products and methods.
- Cost efficient. A ceramic coating is much more affordable than people would think compare with all the benefits you get once applied by a professional car detailer.
- Super hydrophobic water behaviour. A ceramic coating bonds with your cars surface that repels water quite literally like water off a ducks back. This means that all water-based grime will bead on the surface and eventually slide off. A quick jet wash and snow foam and you have yourself a clean, glossy car every time.
