What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic Coating is a glossy, transparent liquid solution that adds a thick layer of protection to your vehicle’s paint. Moreover, the coating features a slick surface and provides stain resistance, hydrophobic properties, dirt repellency, and UV protection. Additionally, it fuses with the paint to shelter your vehicle from environmental hazards, thereby allowing it to be washed with ease for years to come!

WHY CHOOSE CERAMIC COATING?

The top benefits of a Ceramic Coating are that it protects your vehicle from harsh contaminants, makes the paint look pristine, and ensures it’s easier to maintain and keep clean.

Furthermore, the coating makes it difficult for dirt and other debris to stick to the surface; therefore, paint damage is less intense. Additionally, if any swirls or scratches are introduced to the coating after the application process, the coating acts as a sacrificial layer that we are able to polish down and re-apply coating, which is much less stressful and laborious. This is also important because it aids in the preservation of the paint below the coating as your average swirl marks or stains have not been reintroduced to your actual paint work.

If the highest level of paint protection is your ultimate concern, then the best solution is the pairing of a Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection Film, also known as clear bra. Learn more about PPF/Clear Bra. 

If you are unsure what combination of the two is right for you, give us a call! We’re happy to guide you through the process.
