Ceramic Coating Explained: What it is and the benefits.

Ceramic Coating Explained: What it is and the benefits.

Ceramic coating or “paint protection” is quickly becoming one of my most requested services however, there is much confusion as to what it actually is and the benefits. As succinctly as possible...here is the run down.

What is a ceramic coating?
The main chemical compound of ceramic coating is si02 (silica) which is the key ingredient of glass. The ceramic coating is applied to the car’s surface creating a hard bond. The silica percentage determines how long the ceramic coating will last. While there are many names for ceramic coatings such as paint protection, nano technology, glass coating, it is the same service, containing the same product, for the same benefits.

What are the benefits of ceramic coating?
The benefits of ceramic coating are predominately to create protection between the world and your car’s paint. Further benefits of ceramic coating include:

• Reduce future scratching.
• Car stays cleaner for longer, prolonging time between washes.
• UV protection, minimising sun damage to paint.
• Bird poo or mess won’t stick to and damage your paint.
• Car’s surface becomes hydrophobic and repels water (no need for windscreen wipers).
• Lasts between washes as it is chemical and detergent resistant - it won’t wash off.
• Makes your car look wet deep and shiny.
