Get The Facts About Ceramic Coating
While Ceramic coatings have been around for years, the number of products and formulas have grown exponentially in the marketplace. Present day, they include versions for professional automotive detailers to apply, as well as DIY products marketed for consumers to apply on their own.
The challenge for consumers is that the world of ceramic coatings is confusing and full of different brands, all touting miracle-like protection for your car. Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! That’s why it’s important to make sure you’ve done a little homework – but not to worry, we’ve prepared a special cheat-sheet.
Read on for ceramic coating facts, and what you can truly expect!
Book Now Get QuoteWhat is “Ceramic Coating?”
In a nutshell, a ceramic coating is like an extra layer of ultra-thin, super-durable “skin” on top of your vehicle’s paint and clear coat, which both have porous properties. Applied as a liquid, Ceramic Coatings penetrate the vehicle’s surface and literally fuse with it on a molecular level – forming a semi-permanent, hydrophobic shield. This means water, mud, and dirt sheath off the vehicle’s treated surfaces with greater ease, reducing the development of deposits that can form.
All ceramic coatings are designed to provide a barrier between your vehicle and environmental conditions, UV rays, and oxidation. And to a certain extent, ceramic coating helps protect against light scratches. It does not provide much protection from physical objects like road stones and debris, door dings, scuffs, bugs, and hard weather damage like hail and freezing rain. For that kind of protection, you should consider paint protection film.

What Are The Benefits Of A Ceramic Coating?
When it comes to daily driving, a gradual accumulation of dirt and environmental elements is to be expected. A Ceramic Coating however, keeps your vehicle’s finish glossy and smooth. Pollen, grime, and dust will have a much harder time sticking to the surface; and rain, splashes, and mud all slide off with ease – even with that annoying brake dust won’t adhere to the rims as heavily!
All of this results in a vehicle that stays cleaner, longer! Plus, you’ll spend far less time when you do need to wash, and it’ll need to be done less frequently. Not to mention that “You’ll Never Wax Again”!
Did you know when you’re driving through ice and snow, you’re also driving through salt and other materials used to treat road surfaces? Or that if you live in the big city, you may be prone to increased levels of grime and acid rain? All of these environmental conditions could do a number on your vehicle’s finish if it isn’t adequately protected!
That’s where Si02, or fluorine modified polysilazanes, comes in as the latest consumer-grade solution in the Ceramic Coating Industry. This coating means business, no matter what environment you’re driving through. Plus, with a verifiable industrial-hardness rating of 9H, you’ll benefit from added resilience that stands up to daily wear-and-tear for years to come!

So What Can’t A Ceramic Coating Do?
It’s important to remember that although a ceramic coating provides exceptional protection from everyday elements, it isn’t invincible. It still needs to be maintained as you normally would, but the good news is that the dirt will come off with far greater ease, making the job much less of a hassle - and in quicker time too! As always, we recommend hand washing, and never in direct sunlight!
There’s also a lot of misinformation out there about ceramic coatings that you should be aware of. Here are the facts about ceramic coating.
It’s scratch-proof: It is not. Ceramic coatings can protect against smaller abrasions and particles, but it is not resistant to road debris, bugs, and other small projectiles like hail. For this level of protection, you’ll need paint protection film.
No washing required: Wrong. Like we said earlier, you still have to wash your car! It just won’t take as long and you will never need to wax it. And remember, even brushes from automatic car washes can scratch ceramic coatings. Again, ALWAYS wash your car by hand!
It lasts forever: Nothing lasts forever, but if you maintain your vehicle, a ceramic coating can last for years. Obviously, where you live, how much you drive, where you store it, what areas get contacted the most, and the weather can all impact the life expectancy of a ceramic coating. But it’s fair to say that you should expect a few years.
It makes any vehicle shine: This is true if your car was shining before the application. If your car’s paint is dull and faded, it will still be dull and faded after the application. The good news here is that most Tint World® locations offer a service called Paint Correction, where small scratches, minor touch-ups, and imperfections can be repaired prior to applying a Ceramic Coating.
As long as you maintain your vehicle’s surface, a ceramic coating will help protect it from wet weather, road chemicals, and dirt/grime/pollen. It will also help make the surface last longer and shine better than when it came from the showroom!
For the ultimate in protection and durability, consider Paint Protection Film with an application of Ceramic Coating – talk about the best of both worlds!
