Ceramic Coating Information

---

A ceramic coating for cars is a permanent paint protection liquid that dries to a rock-hard surface on your vehicle. ceramic paint protection are a silica-based product and not made from natural waxes like carnauba. Ceramic coatings are extremely hard and when cured they are permanently bonded to the vehicle’s surface until they ultimately wear down or are mechanically removed.Traditional waxes and paint sealants are easy ways to keep your vehicle looking shiny and protected for a few months but ceramic coatings can last many years.

Ceramic coatings have many benefits over traditional car waxes and paint sealants. Some of the main characteristics that make them superior are their longevity, self-cleaning properties, resistance to environmental contaminants, and they are easier to clean.

Ceramic coatings are great for vehicles in the UK as they can handle the wild swings in weather much better than wax. Our environment has rain, snow, hot and humid days, and everything in between and ceramic coatings are great for UV protection and preventing contamination from the elements. Acid rain and road salt and grime have a tougher time bonding to the coating which makes it easier to clean. The self-cleaning properties of ceramic coatings really mean that things cannot stick to it so even a rain shower can basically wash your vehicle off for you instead of pooling up and sticking to your car’s paint, glass, or chrome. 

Traditional waxes really can make a vehicle’s surface pop but they lack durability and protection and only last a month or two in our area. New paint sealants can last longer but still need to be applied every 4-6 months to maintain them. This is where ceramic coatings shine (pun intended) because ceramic coatings that we use can last anywhere from 1 years to 8 years! Let us maintain your ceramic-coated vehicle and we can help maximize the longevity and performance of the ceramic coating.
