What is a ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicle's factory paint, creating a layer of protection.

What are the benefits of ceramic coating?

Ceramic coatings offer a better level of protection against environmental hazards and damage from the sun's UV rays than traditional wax. They also offer resistance to chemical stains and a certain degree of scratch resistance, giving the car a high-gloss finish and making it easier to clean.

Can I use ceramic coating on matte or satin finishes?

Yes, nearly all ceramic coatings should work on matte or satin finishes. Do note that the paint or wrap could slightly change in look a bit, but it should still maintain the original matte or satin look with the added protection. However, to confirm whether or not it's the look you're going for, we suggest testing out the coating on a small section of the vehicle first, preferably in an area not easily visible. 

Does a ceramic coating prevent scratches?

A ceramic coating does provide a certain level of resistance to minor scratches. However, it's not bulletproof, and severe scratches can still penetrate the coating and damage the paint. For that we recommend paint protection film.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

With proper maintenance, a high-quality ceramic coating product can last for several years. The exact lifespan will depend on various factors like the quality of the product, the preparation and application process, and how the vehicle is maintained.

Does ceramic coating require maintenance?

Annual or even semi annual maintenance is required to insure longevity of the coating. This includes a proper wash with fallout remover and ph neutral soap to remove stuck on contaminants without harming the coating. You can top with your choice of sealant for additional longevity and gloss. 

What is the difference between ceramic coating and wax?

Ceramic coatings offer longer and more durable protection than wax. Wax usually lasts a few months at most, while a ceramic coating can last for years. Additionally, ceramic coatings offer superior resistance to UV rays, chemical stains, and water spots.

Does ceramic coating protect against rock chips?

While ceramic coatings provide some resistance against minor scratches and chemical etching, they don't provide full protection against rock chips or similar damage. For that we recommend Paint Protection Film.

Can I remove a ceramic coating?

Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent, so they aren't easily removed. The process typically involves abrasion, like wet sanding or using a machine polisher. This should be done by a professional to avoid damaging the paint if you need to remove the coating.
