Ceramic Coating

What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic Coating is a liquid nano-ceramic layer that bonds to your vehicle’s clear coat, creating a durable, hydrophobic shield. It enhances gloss, protects against environmental damage, and makes your vehicle easier to clean year-round.

  • Protects Against UV Rays, Oxidation & Fading
    Your paint stays vibrant and glossy even under harsh sunlight.
  • Hydrophobic Self-Cleaning Effect
    Repels water, dirt, and contaminants to keep your vehicle cleaner for longer with easier maintenance.
  • Resists Light Swirls, Stains & Chemical Damage
    Adds a protective barrier that reduces micro-scratches and prevents etching from bugs, bird droppings, and road film.
  • High-Gloss, Candy-Like Shine
    Gives your paint a deep reflective showroom shine after every wash.
  • Long-Lasting Protection
    Enjoy up to 10 years of durability with proper maintenance. 

 

Notes :

  • While ceramic coating provides excellent protection, it is not a substitute for paint protection film (PPF) and won’t prevent severe physical damage.
  • For the best results, professional application is recommended to ensure even coverage and maximum durability.

Frequently Asked

General Questions About Ceramic Coating

Depending on the product and maintenance, ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 3-7 years or more. High-end professional coatings often last even longer.

Yes. Unlike wax, which wears off quickly after 1 wash, ceramic coating provides long-term protection and doesn’t require frequent reapplication.

 

Ceramic coating protects against minor scratches and swirl marks from hand wash abrasion but cannot prevent damage from major impacts or deep scratches.

 

After project completion, we will go over how to maintain your new coating.

Regular washing with pH-neutral car shampoo, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using a microfiber cloth for drying will keep the coating effective. Some coatings also benefit from periodic top-up sprays.

 

It works best on painted surfaces but can also be applied to glass, wheels, and even plastic trim with the right product.

 

Professional applications usually require 2-3 working days, depending on the prep work required, such as paint correction and cleaning.

12-48 Cure time is required depending if you park your car indoors or outdoors overnight.

PPF (Paint Protection Film) is designed to protect your vehicle from physical damage like rock chips and scratches, while Ceramic Coating enhances gloss, contaminant repellency, and makes your vehicle easier to clean and maintain with its hydrophobic properties.

These two pair nicely together.

DIY kits exist, but professional application ensures proper bonding, longevity, and a flawless finish.

The most important step for the process would be polishing and correcting the paint free of swirl marks for proper preparation.

Yes. It protects the paint from oxidation and fading caused by the sun’s harmful UV rays.

 

It can be applied, but paint correction is recommended first. The coating bonds to the paint as-is, so imperfections will remain visible if not polished out.
