What are Ceramic Coatings?

A ceramic coating is a glass-like protective layer that bonds to your vehicle’s clear coat.

The clear coat gives your vehicle that deep shine. The problem is, your vehicle’s surface is full of tiny pores, and over time contaminants will seep in and damage the exterior. 

Contaminants are things like dirt, tree sap, bug guts and brake dust.

How does a Ceramic Coating work?

Ceramic coatings contains Silica Dioxide (Sio2), which is a hard, tiny compound. 

After applied, it will “cure” to create a glass-like layer atop your surface

This protects the clear coat from contaminants.

The thickness of the coating gives you a beautiful, deep gloss. The hardness gives you the long lasting protection

Unlike waxes and sealants, Ceramic Coatings are resistant to detergents and chemicals.

What are the benefits?

  1. Can provide years of protection
  2. ​Deep glossy shine
  3. Repels contaminants and keeps off dirt & dust
  4. Car is easier to wash because contaminants don't stick
  5. Water beads right off 

Are there any downsides?

A ceramic coating is very expensive and requires careful application. Getting a professional to install your ceramic coating costs thousands.

If you apply it improperly, it is more difficult to correct than a simple wax or sealant.

New DIY alternative? 

A ceramic-based sealant contains the same active ingredient as a ceramic coating. 

But it is much easier to apply (a spray-on formula). Some take just minutes to apply:

The durability easily beats a traditional wax or paint sealant. 

Overall, we like this option much better for most drivers. 

They provide great protection, are much easier and cheaper to apply, and give your car a beautiful shine.
