CERAMIC COATING:

Are you thinking about having a ceramic coating applied to your car? Do claims of it preserving your car’s paintwork hold true? Is it better than wax? is it worth the money?

This article explains the basics of ceramic coating for cars. What it is, what are its advantages and disadvantages, and how it fares against waxing and other alternatives.

WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?

Professional grade ceramic coating is a chemical polymer that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect it from external paint damage. Typically applied by hand, it blends with the paint of your car and creates an additional hydrophobic layer of protection.

Due to this chemical bonding and creation of a new layer, the car’s factory paint job remains untouched.

Ceramic Coating, in reality, is an alternative to waxing. The main idea is to prevent dirt, grime, and stain marks from appearing on your paintwork and ruining the clear coat.

Ceramic coating, also sometimes called 9H Nano Ceramic coating (pH references the hardness of the coating) is a semi-permanent solution, it does not degrade in normal atmospheric conditions like rain, summer or winter.

CERAMIC COATING ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS

Protection from Harmful UV Rays

You can only imagine the damage that the sun’s harmful UV rays can do to your car’s paintwork. Ceramic coating will protect your car’s paint from oxidisation, preventing it from fading and looking dull. This is important if your car is parked outside.

Protection from Chemical Stains

Chemical stains arising from acidic contaminants in the air is another potential damage to your car. A coating will prevent these contaminants from bonding into the paint.

Hydrophobic water behaviour, Ease of Cleaning

When it comes to waxing and other types of detailing, washing your car can be a headache. With ceramic coating, you don’t have to worry about the coating wearing off.

Ceramic coating bonds with your car’s paintwork and also repels water. This means that all water-based grime will bead on the surface and eventually slide off. A quick jet wash and snow foam and you have yourself a clean, glossy car.

Ultimate finish & Gloss

Ceramic Coating is for those who want an ultimate shine finish. It will give your car a deep glossy look, bringing the best out of the original paintwork.

Reviews from both users and auto industry experts have been extremely positive throughout the UK.

IS CERAMIC COATING WORTH IT?

Yes! Ceramic Coating has great benefits that will add value to your car in the long term. It will make cleaning and maintaining your pride and joy less tedious. So that you spend more time driving and enjoying your car than thinking about ways to keep it protected.

Ceramic coating is not a one-stop solution for all your paintwork worries. There’s no one product on the market that will guarantee a complete protection of your car. However, ceramic coating is one of the best car paint protection options available today.
