Professional Ceramic Coating Prep, Application & Maintenance
WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?
A Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent or permanent coating that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect against external paint damage from the elements and contaminates collected from driving. You can think of this as a “sacrificial protection layer”. Back in the day people would wax their vehicle every month or season. Ceramic coatings last anywhere from 1-10+ years! This means no more waxing! Long lasting, durable protection. Ceramic coatings do require maintenance, just like everything else. We recommend monthly hand washes at minimum and a deep decontamination detail once every 6-12 months. A professionally applied ceramic coating will leave your vehicle looking better than new and if that’s what you’re looking for you’ve come to the right place.

What does a Ceramic coating not do?
A ceramic coating doesn’t eliminate the need to properly maintain your vehicle. It does make maintenance much easier but your car collects contamination from driving around and requires frequent washing to maintain a desired look. You will notice much less water & contamination sticking to the hydrophobic surface but there will still be some dirt and water that stays around. If not maintained properly this can effect the performance, longevity and look of the ceramic coating.
Eliminate Scratches, Swirl marks, or Rock chips
A ceramic coating does not provide protection against improper wash techniques, automatic brush car washes, deep scratches or paint chips. A ceramic coating does not replace paint protection film (PPF or clear bra) is a better option if you are looking for a more serious protection. You can then add a ceramic coating on top of the paint protection film for added protection.
Ceramic coatings require proper maintenance
Proper maintenance for a ceramic coating requires ph-balanced car wash soap. Using any other car wash soaps can damage the ceramic coatings protective properties and can cause streaking. Soaps to stay away from are any soaps with gloss enhancers, “ceramic based soaps”, any soaps that contain silica or wax.
A ceramic coating should be properly maintained by a professional at minimum once a year to properly remove any stuck on contamination and properly refresh the ceramic coating properties..
