Why get a ceramic coat? Isn't my clearcoat good enough?


Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to your vehicle's exterior. It creates a protective layer that bonds with the surface of your car, providing a long-lasting shield against the elements. This coating is made of advanced materials that create a hard and durable layer on top of your car's paint.


Ceramic coating offers many benefits, including protection against UV rays, oxidation, and chemical contaminants. It also creates a hydrophobic surface, making it easier to clean your car and reducing the risk of water spots. With our ceramic coating service, your car will look great and stay protected for years to come.


While ceramic coating offers exceptional protection against many elements, it is important to note that it cannot protect against everything. Flying road debris, scratches, and neglect are not covered by the ceramic coating. That's why it's essential to maintain your car and drive safely to ensure your vehicle stays in top condition.


My Dealership already sold me a ceramic coat or paint protection program. Why should I get one from you?


When it comes to protecting your investment, your car's paint deserves the best – and that's where we come in.


While dealership paint protection may offer some level of coverage, it often falls short of the advanced defense provided by our Ceramic Coating.


**Why Dealership Paint Protection Falls Short:**

🚫 Limited Lifespan: Dealership treatments may require frequent reapplications, costing you time and money.

🚫 Basic Protection: Standard sealants can't match the long-lasting shield of Ceramic Coating.

🚫 Incomplete Coverage: Dealership options might not guard against minor scratches and UV damage.

🚫 More often than not, your dealership sold you a ceramic coat that is actually just a paint sealant, or ceramic that is sprayed on your vehicle, then wiped off. It is often not a properly installed ceramic coat. This is why they tell you to have it periodically re-applied at their shop rather than guaranteeing it for multiple years.

🚫 If the dealership is telling you that you may lose your paint warranty, or that your coat is not being applied by a properly trained installer, that should raise red flags!


Our Ceramic Coating goes beyond the ordinary, offering a superior layer of protection that stands the test of time. Discover how our expert solutions can keep your car's paint looking flawless year after year.


"Ceramic coatings offer a better level of protection against environmental hazards and damage from the sun's UV rays than traditional wax. They also offer resistance to chemical stains and a certain degree of scratch resistance, giving the car a high-gloss finish and making it easier to clean." – Car and Driver Magazine

FAQ's

**Frequently Asked Questions About Ceramic Coating, Answered by Our Expert Installer**


1. **Q: How long does Ceramic Coating last?**

A: With proper care, Ceramic Coating can last up to 1-10 years, depending on the product used and maintenance routine. We always recommend hand washing to maximize the life of your ceramic coat. Taking your car through a car wash whether brushless or not, is not a great way to keep your clear coat and paint in great condition.


2. **Q: Can I apply Ceramic Coating myself?**

A: While DIY kits are available, professional application ensures proper bonding and durability. Our expertise guarantees optimal results.


3. **Q: Does Ceramic Coating prevent all scratches?**

A: Ceramic Coating offers resistance against minor scratches, but it's not bulletproof. It adds a layer of protection, but vigilance is key.


4. **Q: Can I wax my car after applying Ceramic Coating?**

A: Waxing isn't necessary with Ceramic Coating, as it already provides a deep shine. Waxing can, however, be done occasionally without harming the coating.


5. **Q: Is Ceramic Coating the same as paint protection film?**

A: No, they're different solutions. Paint protection film is a physical barrier, while Ceramic Coating is a liquid applied to enhance the car's finish.


6. **Q: Will Ceramic Coating make my car maintenance-free?**

A: While it reduces maintenance, regular hand washing is still needed to keep your car looking its best. The coating minimizes dirt adhesion, making cleaning easier.


7. **Q: Can I wash my car immediately after applying Ceramic Coating?**

A: Depending on the product, you might need to wait a specific duration before washing. Our team provides clear guidelines after application. Generally, we recommend 3 days of bonding time prior to washing or driving in the rain.


8. **Q: Will Ceramic Coating hide existing swirl marks?**

A: Ceramic Coating won't remove existing swirl marks, but it can make them less noticeable by enhancing the paint's clarity and gloss. We will usually offer a paint correction prior to ceramic coating to remove as much swirling and micro-scratching as possible.


9. **Q: Can Ceramic Coating be applied to other surfaces besides paint?**

A: Yes, Ceramic Coating can also be applied to glass, wheels, and trim, providing protection and easy maintenance.


10. **Q: Is professional installation worth the cost?**

A: Absolutely. Our expertise ensures proper preparation and application, maximizing the coating's benefits and longevity.
