WHAT IS A CERAMIC COATING?

New technologies have been introduced to the detailing industry that are designed to increase the longevity of protection, which can last up to seven years. These innovations come in the form of semi-permanent coatings which provide the ultimate barrier between your paint, wheels, glass, and trim. These new coatings are designed to not only protect your car from the elements but also fight against oxidation.
‍
No matter what kind of car you have, these coatings will provide the protection your vehicle needs from natural elements. They'll also give it a shine and luster that's long-lasting, and they'll make it easier to wash since contaminants won't stick as easily. In the end, it will have a "freshly waxed" look and feel.

PROTECTIVE BENEFITS OF CERAMIC COATINGS

Long-lasting Paint Protection

Waxes are designed to be easily wiped away, which is good for the manufacturer but bad for the consumer. Why? Because each time you wash your car, you’re damaging the clear coat. A ceramic coating is designed to protect your paint from the elements, not be waxed over and over again for years on end.

Easier to clean

Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic which means they repel water. This means you don’t have to wash your car as often to remove dirt. Dirt can be removed with simple soap and water.

Minimizes Oxidation

Oxidation is the process by which heat and oxygen chemically interact with the clear coat of your vehicle, leading to discoloration and fading. Ceramic coatings help prevent this process from occurring, resulting in a vehicle that looks new for a longer period of time.

SMOOTHER, GLOSSIER PAINT

The surface of your car or boat will become smoother, with a high gloss. The paint becomes firmer, less prone to damage, with a protective layer that is 10 times harder than the paint layer itself.
