EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CERAMIC COATINGS BEFORE BUYING
You’ve spent months researching and looking for the perfect car, and the day to pick it up is finally here or fast approaching. There’s nothing like taking possession of your new car, and if you’re like us, you want to keep it looking and feeling new for years to come!
But we all know that cars can quickly lose their brilliance and gloss within a few years regardless of how many washes and waxes we give them.
Thankfully, the aftermarket automotive industry introduced ceramic coatings, a solution to significantly slow down the aging process of your paint while offering dirt-repellent properties that makes maintaining your car a breeze for years to come!
But it can be hard to know what are the real truths and false claims about ceramic coatings. With the vast amount of options circulating both online and among detailers and manufacturers; it is easy to get confused. With this section our goal is to clarify things for you. If you have questions buzzing around your head concerning the truth about automotive ceramic car coatings, then keep reading.
WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING EXACTLY??
A professional ceramic car coating is a liquid quartz formula that is applied to the external paint of a vehicle. We also have formulas that can be applied on glass, wheels, vinyl wrap, PPF, interiors, and even boats! The ceramic coating chemically bonds with the surface; creating a glossy, hard wearing layer of protection. Once cured, this protection will last for years and stands up to anything Mother Nature throws at it.
A 9H ceramic coating is a superior alternative to wax or paint sealants. However, it cannot substitute paint protection film, which provides a better form of protection against rock chips and deep scuffs.
TOP 6 BENEFITS OF CERAMIC COATINGS
An Investment In Your Car's Beauty and Value
Ceramic car coatings are super-hydrophobic. What is ‘hydrophobicity” you may ask? This fancy word is used to describe anything that hates water, in other words, anything that repels water.
Its the hydrophobic nature of coatings that deliver stunning self-cleaning properties that keep your paint cleaner, longer.
Get the Gloss of a Brand new car for years
If you want jaw dropping gloss, an automotive ceramic coating installation is the best choice you can make. Ceramic coatings enhance the reflective properties of your car’s finish along with adding depth and clarity.
Less Maintenance Than Ever!
Washing your car will be far easier and you will have to wash less often. And best of all….no more waxing!!!
Solid Protection against staining and etching!
Bird poop, tree sap, acid rain, etc….. the list of contaminants that are bombarding your finish on a daily basis seems to never end.
Fortunately, ceramic coatings are extremely hard and chemical resistant; helping your car to stay free of stains and etching for years to come!
Blocking Your Paint From The Damages of UV Rays / Oxidation
The sun in Charlotte can be ruthless and can cause your car’s finish to oxidize prematurely, which results in faded and dulled paint color.
By applying a ceramic paint coating, you will be sure to protect your vehicles finish from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. Thus, reducing the effect and the danger of oxidation.
Years of protection, not months!
With their strong covalent bonds, coatings cant’ be removed from your paint unless you compound and polish them.
This bond gives coatings durability which can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years depending on environmental variables and the level of care you give your coating. Its interesting to compare coatings durability with car waxes or sealants which last only 2- 6 months.
3 False but popular claims about Ceramic coatings
Claim #1: Protects Against Swirl-Marks, Scratches or Rock Chips
Detailers tend to exaggerate about many qualities of their ceramic coatings. One of the qualities they like to boast about is the scratch-resistance. But let’s clarify things here. Automotive Ceramic Coatings can repel small scratches, as we said, but it will not make your coated car completely resistant to the risk of rock chips or parking lot scratches.
Not only that, but improper car washing techniques or the frequent use of automated brush car washes can create swirl marks on the external surface of your vehicle, even with a ceramic coating.
Be aware that ceramic coatings is not a substitute for deep scratches or chips protection (like Paint Protection Film, also known as Clear Bra) and it does not eliminate the need to wash your car properly to avoid swirl marks.
False Claim #2: Repels Water-Spots
When it rains, water falls on the paint of your car and with evaporation, some minerals are left behind, creating some visible spots. These water spots will generally wash off.
However; we do not recommend rinsing your car off with water and letting it air dry as this puts you at risk of getting water spotting whether your car is ceramic coated or not. Also, we do not recommend any type of washing during the hottest part of the day. Avoid parking near water sprinklers as well, whether your vehicle is ceramic coated or not.
False Claim #3: You won't ever need to wash your paint after coat
Maintenance to your car is required even with a ceramic coating. The amount of energy and time spent on it will be far less than without a ceramic coating, but you will still need to regularly wash your car to maintain your ceramic coating’s performance. A ceramic coating makes your vehicle a breeze to wash along with not having to wash as often. And best of all…no more waxing!
