Ceramic Coatings Pros
Increase The Life of Your Paint
Ceramic coatings can help to prolong the life of your paint job and make it look better. It can also help to protect your car from minor scratches and scuffs.
Durability Scratch Protection
The clear coat is the outermost layer of your vehicle's paint, providing protection against the elements and UV rays that can damage and fade the paint. Although an integral part of the paint system, the clear coat is susceptible to scratches. Automated car washes can cause damage, resulting in millions of micro scratches, commonly known as swirl marks. Over time, the clear coat will naturally deteriorate due to exposure to atmospheric elements. Ceramic coatings, once fully cured, are significantly harder than clear coat, greatly reducing the chances of further scratches.
Super Hydrophobic
This enables dirt, mud, snow, grime, bird droppings, insect acids, road salt, and other environmental pollutants to effortlessly slide off the treated surface. Water will not adhere to the surface; instead, it will form beads or simply roll off smoothly.
UV Protection
Ceramic coatings include UV inhibitors that block the sun's UV radiation from reaching the painted surface.
Ceramic Coatings Explained
A Life Time Of Gloss Ceramic Protection
Automotive ceramic coatings are a significant innovation in paint protection. This exclusive, permanent coating adds a color-enhancing gloss while safeguarding the car's exterior for its lifetime. System X generates a new clear coat that makes the car appear as if it were encased in glass, creating a surface that is more hydrophobic, slick, and glossy than the original clear coat.
Ceramic coating, which can be semi-permanent or permanent, is applied to a vehicle's exterior to shield it from paint damage. This nanoscopic treatment is liquid upon application but hardens to form a protective layer over the paint. Typically made of silicon dioxide (SiO2) derived from natural sources like quartz and sand, it bonds with the car's paint to produce a hydrophobic effect.
While various ceramic coatings, including DIY options, are available, it is recommended to consult a professional for optimal care of your car's paint. Experienced professionals can offer tailored solutions for your vehicle. In comparison, waxes from Brazilian palm trees provide protection for an average of 2 to 3 months, and man-made polymer sealants last 6 to 10 months. Ceramic coatings, when properly maintained, can protect from 1 year to a lifetime.
