What Is A Ceramic Coating?
We as detailers are tempted to get into the details of things and why a ceramic coating is like nothing ever seen before, but we don’t want to bore you! A ceramic coating is like the thick winter coat you put on before going outside in the freezing Minnesota winters. It is a hyper durable, extremely hard layer of silicon dioxide (glass), that chemically bonds to your car’s paint, glass, and other surfaces on your vehicle. This thin layer of glass offers a sacrificial barrier over your vehicles paint which adds a rich, glossy appearance to your vehicle’s paintwork. Not only do these long term coatings add depth and gloss to your paint, but they also have an average lifespan of 3 to 7+ years depending on the coating you choose.
To sum it up… Ceramic Coatings have 2 jobs.
1) Long term paint protection
2) Insane gloss and “wet look”
How Does A Ceramic Coating Work?
After the ceramic coating is applied to the paint, it is as if there is an ultra-durable, scratch resistant, and hydrophobic skin protecting your vehicle. Ceramics are designed to protect against everything that touches the paint from the outside world: bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches, and much more. While normal auto detailing services can help clean and protect the paint temporarily, ceramic coatings form a sort of shield that protects your investment until the day its traded in, which means more money in your pocket!
Washing and maintaining your car is inconvenient and tiresome, so after spending 50,000 on a vehicle we slowly watch it degrade more and more over time because we just don’t want to keep up with it. We think it’s crazy to pay thousands of dollars for a car, and then drive it unprotected just to trade it in for pennies years later.
After the paint has been completely cleaned, decontaminated and we’ve created a smooth surface through paint correction, a thin layer of the liquid ceramic coating is applied to the paint, left to cure, then carefully buffed off until all that remains is a thin layer that is left for 24 hours to cure. It’s that simple.
