WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?
BENEFITS OF CERAMIC COATING
Protect your vehicle's paintwork from the damaging effects of the road with ceramic coating, giving your vehicle top-notch protection and a stunning, durable finish.
PROTECT YOUR PAINT’S FINISH
Ceramic coatings create a strong, durable barrier that can protect your vehicle's paint from various contaminants such as dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, UV rays, acid rain, and oxidation. This helps prevent paint damage, fading, and oxidation.
KEEP YOUR CAR LOOKING CLEANER
Usually, prior to ceramic coating a vehicle, it will be fully polished to remove scratches, oxidation and any other defects that are taking away from the maximum potential of your paints gloss, shine and reflectiveness! When we then apply a ceramic coating, it is almost like putting sunscreen on, it protects the paint from damage that can occur from long term exposure to the sun as well as oxygen and other contaminants such as sap, bird droppings and even acid rain!
Because of their hydrophobic properties, ceramic-coated vehicles are easier to clean. Dust and dirt are less likely to adhere to the surface, making regular washing less time-consuming and frequent.
UV PROTECTION
The UV-resistant properties of ceramic coatings help prevent UV rays from damaging your vehicle's paint and causing it to fade or oxidize over time. This will prevent your paint from peeling, fading and looking less vibrant as the years go on! Remember… our coatings come in both 5 year and 9 year worldwide guaranteed options.
SCRATCH RESISTANT
While ceramic coatings are not completely scratch-proof, they can provide a degree of scratch resistance. They can help reduce the appearance of swirl marks and light scratches, but they won't protect against deep or severe scratches. Still taking care to use proper wash mitts and products will help ensure the longest scratch and swirl free life of your coating and paint finish!
GLOSS AND DEPTH
Ceramic coating enhances the visual appearance of your vehicle's paint, giving it a deep, glossy finish.
