Ultimate Protection With Our Ceramic Coating Services
Maintaining your vehicle’s shine is no easy task. South Florida is known for hot summers and perpetual thunderstorms, which will take their toll on your car’s bodywork. Ceramic coatings are a considerable advancement in car care and offer industry-leading protection for your car.
Let’s take a closer look at ceramic coating services and how your car will benefit from getting coated in one.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer, or ceramic-based coating that is applied to your vehicle’s exterior. The coating is applied by a ceramic coating applicator and takes anywhere between 48 hours and 2 weeks to fully cure. The ceramic coating forms a protective layer that bonds with your car’s paint. Think of it like a glass layer over your car that contains hydrophobic properties. This means that water, dirt, and contaminants are repelled from your car’s body, helping to keep it clean.
Another way to think of it is like a second layer of skin, designed to offer your car superior protection from the elements. Like skin, ceramic coating bonds to your car’s paint, making ceramic coatings more durable than conventional wax. This means the coating will last for several years when proper maintenance is adhered to.
How Is Ceramic Coating Applied?
A ceramic coating application requires the expertise of an experienced professional. Once booked in, your car’s body will go through a detailed preparation process to ensure it’s ready for application. The ceramic coating is then carefully applied with a sponge applicator and a chemical bonding process takes place as it cures. Ceramic coatings offer a semi-permanent protective barrier on your car. This means they can be removed if necessary, but are designed to last.
The Benefits Of Ceramic Coating
A ceramic coating contains chemical compounds, which means that it’s a durable solution. Here are several reasons to consider a ceramic coating for your car.
Excellent Protection
Ceramic coatings offer protection against environmental hazards such as acid rain, UV rays, insect splats, and bird droppings. Although debris may still find its way on your car, it won’t cause corrosion on your paintwork. A ceramic coating acts as a barrier to shield your car’s paintwork from fading and oxidizing. This means that if your car is parked outside, it will be protected.
Gloss-Like Finish
Ceramic coatings add a great aesthetic to your car’s paintwork. You can expect an increased depth of color and gloss finish on your paint. By adding to the reflective nature of your paint, ceramic coatings highlight the original paintwork and bring out your car’s maximum shine.
Swirl Resistance
Ceramic coating offers protection against swirl marks and minor scratches. The coating carries a hardness to it, which is what helps to minimize imperfections on the bodywork. Your car maintains its polished look while enjoying a resistant property to scratches. Remember to always entrust your car to an auto detailing specialist for the best ceramic coating services and results.
Easy Maintenance & Cleaning
Ceramic coating has hydrophobic properties, which means that dirt is easily removed after a wash. Due to its water-repelling nature, the body dries faster, and debris doesn’t stick around. This considerable benefit means there is no need to spend hours washing and waxing your car. Instead, you will enjoy a clean and shiny surface with very little effort.
Should you be worried about ceramic coating wearing off? The good news is the polymer doesn’t wear off with washing. Although it can be removed, water washes don’t affect it. This means that once your ceramic coating has been applied by a professional detailing facility, you can forget about it and enjoy the benefits of your aesthetically pleasing bodywork.
Chemical Stain Protection
Your car is susceptible to chemical stains from the air. In some industrial and city environments, the air can contain contaminants of an acidic nature that are harmful to your car’s body. A ceramic coating prevents these contaminants from bonding to your paint, thereby protecting your paintwork. Ceramic coating removes the risk of chemical stains on your car.
Saves You Money
Although you’ll need to budget for the initial application, the long-term durability of your ceramic coating will outweigh the costs. The need for regular polishing and paint touch-ups is dramatically reduced, meaning that you save time and money with far fewer ongoing costs to consider. It’s a once-off investment that will pay its dividends for years to come.
