Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer coating that is applied to the exterior surfaces of vehicles, including the paint, wheels, and glass. The coating creates a layer of protection that bonds to the surface, forming a durable and long-lasting barrier against environmental contaminants and harsh weather conditions.
The ceramic coating is made of nanotechnology that consists of a liquid polymer which contains ceramic particles. The ceramic particles fill in the microscopic pores of the surface, creating a flat and uniform layer that is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and other types of damage. The coating also creates a hydrophobic effect that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants, making it easier to clean the vehicle.
Ceramic coating provides a number of benefits, including protecting the vehicle’s paint from fading, scratches, and oxidation. It also enhances the gloss and shine of the paint, giving the vehicle a sleek and polished appearance. The hydrophobic effect of the coating helps to prevent water spots and other types of water damage, and makes the vehicle easier to clean and maintain.
Ceramic coating can be applied by a professional detailing service or purchased as a DIY kit. The application process involves thoroughly cleaning and preparing the surface of the vehicle, applying the ceramic coating with a microfiber applicator, and then allowing it to cure for a specific period of time. The exact application process varies depending on the specific ceramic coating product used.
While ceramic coating provides a high level of protection and durability, it is important to note that it is not a foolproof solution and does not make the vehicle invincible to damage. However, it does provide an extra layer of protection that can help to preserve the appearance and value of the vehicle.
Ceramic coatings range in yearly protection and “hardness” levels once properly cured. Ranging from 1 year all the way up to 10 years of protection, ceramic coatings provide superior paint protection when compared to a carnuba paste wax as well as the multitude of spray waxes on the market. They provide easier and quicker washing, extreme hydrophobicity and supreme protection from the harsh environmental damage cars can experience everyday.
Water simply beads up and rolls right off of a properly ceramic coated surface which means less water-spotting. Water-spots occur when hard-water sits on the surface for an extended period of time. Ceramic coatings also help in resisting “etching” from those unsightly water spots, bird-droppings and bug splatter. There is ceramic coatings specifically for paint, black plastic trim and even interior surfaces such as vinyl, plastic, leather and fabrics which line some door panels and carpeting. A fully ceramic coated vehicle is ready for the daily hazards that the environment throws its way. Ask us about which ceramic coating package will best suit your needs.
Easy Maintenance
Once ceramic coated, in order to gain the full benefits of the coating, maintenance details are a must. We provide all that is included in maintenance details, which cut down on the cost to you and makes the follow-up details quick and efficient so you can get on with your daily life. Ceramic coatings, over time, will get “clogged” by environmental fallout. Whether it is road salt, dirt and debris, or road grime, our ceramic coating maintenance details ensure you get the longest life out of your ceramic coating. Some customers who are extremely picky about their vehicle’s appearance opt for bi-weekly or even weekly details to keep their vehicle looking new around the clock. Others choose to have us detail their vehicles once a month or once every few months to ease the stress involved with having a cluttered vehicle and to prolong the life of their coating. For ceramic coatings to be worth it, paint correction should be the first step before applying the coating, followed up with a maintenance program tailored specifically for your needs, ceramic coatings can lengthen the life of your vehicles delicate painted surfaces.
