There has been quite the online buzz about ceramic coatings. Some people laud them as miracle coatings, where some are skeptical about them. Our advice is to ignore the hyperbole, and listen to our reasoned 4-point account of why ceramic coatings are both useful and worthwhile.
What is a ceramic coating?
The name creates bizarre images in the minds of the uninitiated. It sounds rather as though the car is being plated in ceramic material so it ends up looking like a serving dish on wheels. This isn’t the case. Ceramic coatings are actually advanced liquid polymers that when applied to your car’s paintwork will provide a previously unattainable level of protection.
Upon first entering the market, ceramic coatings were a very specialist field that nearly always required a professional detailer or mechanic to apply. As the product has evolved, more related items are now entering the marketplace. These products have made ceramic coating technology more accessible to the average driver or DIY detailing enthusiast.
Why should you get ceramic coating products?
Here are our four best reasons for getting and applying ceramic coating to your vehicle:
Ceramic coatings now come in easy-to-apply spray bottles, and can be used as simple detailing products, after-wash coatings and more. It’s a whole new line of items to make your car care collection more varied and interesting.
Ceramic coatings are far more effective than regular car waxes. They typically last for double the time waxes do, and then some. A full ceramic coating applied professionally to your car can last years. Beyond that, ceramic coatings are not just about shine. Where waxes provide an aesthetic advantage, ceramic coatings add a “toughness” that doesn’t just help the car look good, but actively gets dirt and water away from the paint.
Modern sprays and other products have made this product accessible to more people. Everyone can now start to enjoy the benefits of this innovative polymer-based solution to car care and maintenance.
Waxes give shine, but ceramic coating is true magnificent gloss (as well as level of protection as mentioned above). There’s nothing quite like ceramic coating products to restore your car to definitive showroom quality. If you’re planning to resell the car somewhere down the line, you’ll be so glad you took the time to ceramic coat it.
