What is a Ceramic Coating?

To gain a better understanding of ceramic coatings, it's helpful to first examine the most common paint-protection products available in the market. Wax is an organic substance that comes in different forms, ranging from traditional paste to quick-and-easy sprays. For decades, "waxing" a car has been synonymous with keeping it looking shiny and new.

Unfortunately, wax is not very durable and hence must be applied several times a year. Sealants, on the other hand, are synthetic and designed to last for several months. They are easy to apply, but generally do not offer the same deep shine that a quality wax provides.

However, both wax and sealants are outperformed by a ceramic coating. This silica-based liquid polymer is applied by hand and hardens to create a protective layer that can be effective for several years if properly maintained.

The Benefits of Installing a Ceramic Coating

There are many coating companies out there that make big claims about what their products can do. While there is some truth to the claims, I prefer not to oversell the capabilities of coatings. However, there are some benefits that you can get from using a coating:

- Durable Protection: Offers some of the most durable protection that lasts between 3-5 years, or 20-30,000 miles.
- Semi Permanent: You only need to apply it once every few years, unlike other forms of protection that require reapplication every few months.
- Enhanced Gloss: Provides an unmatched deep level of gloss that cannot be compared to other forms of protection like wax or sealant.
- Effortless Maintenance: Provides hydrophobic properties that keep your car cleaner and make it easier to maintain.

To properly install a coating on your vehicle, it is essential to have the surface correctly prepped and corrected. This can be achieved through one of our paint correction services. If the coating is applied without the proper preparation, you won't be able to enjoy all its benefits.

This is where a professional ceramic coating installer comes in. If the coating is not correctly installed, you will not get the full benefits, and you'll notice smudges all over your vehicle. These smudges are known as "high spots," and they occur when the coating is not wiped off after being left to dry for too long.

As a general rule, the more durable the coating, the more challenging it is to install. For example, a 9-year coating is more challenging to install than a 1-year coating.

It's crucial to understand the weather variables as they can significantly impact the installation process. Different coatings react differently to humidity, cold, and heat.

I prefer to apply coatings in a garage or any other temperature-controlled location. This way, I can control most of the working conditions.
