What is Ceramic Coating

To simply put it, Ceramic coating is a liquid nano-coating that is designed to smooth out all the microscopic imperfections in the paint’s clear coat. Most people remember applying wax to their cars. Wax is something that would only last 6-12 months depending on how you care for your vehicle. Ceramic coating is a new technology that does what wax did but is WAY BETTER. Ceramic Coating can be applied to new or old cars, but the paint needs to be in good condition. The imperfections that ceramic coating fills in are not visible to the human eye. if you were to look under the microscope, you will see millions of ridges, dips, and valleys in the clear coat. This is what elements such as dirt, water, mud, dust, and other elements cling to when it touches your paint. So ceramic coating smooths those surfaces out and creates an armored layer on top of your paint. This layer makes your paint extremely slick and hydrophobic. This will help your car stay cleaner for longer because the elements mentioned earlier have a much harder time sticking to the surface.

What Ceramic Coating is Good

There are tons of ceramic coatings and brands out there, and you can easily get overwhelmed when looking for what ceramic coatings are best for your vehicle. The best thing to look for when searching for a ceramic coating is to look for a coating that offers at least a 9h or 10h hardness. Most coatings will meet these criteria. Next, you will want to look for the warranty information and make sure the coating is actually backed up by the manufacturer. Such as the coatings we offer from Gtechniq. Their Crystal Serum Light has a 5-year guarantee and their Crystal Serum Ultra has a 9-year guarantee. Next, you want to just try and research the manufacturer and look at reviews to make sure they are a reputable company. We recommend Gtechniq because out of all the brands we have dealt with as a company, Gtechniq stood out the most when it came to how they develop their coatings, and how well they stand behind their coatings.

How Long Does Ceramic Coating Last

Ceramic coatings can last from 3 months to 9+ years. This depends on a ton of factors such as the coating manufacturer, how it was applied, down to how well you take care of your vehicle. It also depends on if the coating is SiO2 (silica dioxide) based or if its Quartz based or Graphene based. Now every company will always explain why their coating is better. We have tried all 3 types of coatings and we have found Quartz based coatings to work the best and last the longest. This is what Gtechniq coatings are based of.

Is Ceramic Coating only for New Cars

No, ceramic coating can be applied to new, used cars, even classic cars. Ceramic coatings can even be applied to RV’s, airplanes, and boats. When it comes to cars the biggest thing an installer looks at is the condition of the paint. Such as rock chips, scratches, dings, scuffs, swirls, spider webbing, etc. Because as a reputable installer they would want to ensure the paint is in the best condition possible before applying the coating, because whatever is under the coating is locked in, and the only way to go back and fix something is to polish off all the coating on the panel, fix the problem, then recoat the panel which equates to a lot of wasted time. The installer will also check to see if the paint meets the requirements of being coated. If the clear coat is badly faded, cracking, flaking then we would not be able to apply ceramic coating because the coating would not make a good bond with a surface in that condition. So simply put, the paint doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to be in good condition to apply the ceramic coating, and a reputable installer such as us at White Glove Auto would be able to go over that with you and explain any potential issues if there are any.
