What is a Ceramic Coating?
What is a Ceramic Coating?
A ceramic coating is a hard, micro- thin glass-like coating that forms a chemical bond with the surface to which it is applied to, rather than just sitting on top of it like a wax. They are now the industry standard for vehicle protection products, especially when it comes to paint. These highly durable and hydrophobic coatings shield the vehicle's paint and act as a sacrificial barrier between the elements. They effectively lessen the chances of wash induced swirl marks and marring from forming and seal the paint from numerous forms of contamination. Damage from bird droppings, environmental fallout and harsh chemicals is reduced. They leave the paint surface ultra slick and give the vehicle that freshly waxed, glossy appearance that lasts for years, not weeks as with traditional car waxes and sealants. Coatings can also be applied to wheels , calipers, glass, fabrics, leather and plastics to preserve and protect them from grime, brake dust buildup, stains, spills and abrasion, as well as many other contaminants. Vehicles with Paint Protection Film can also be over-coated with a ceramic coating for the absolute best duo for shielding your paint.

How A Ceramic Coating Is Applied
How A Ceramic Coating Is Applied
Benefits of a Ceramic Coating:
- No need to wax or seal for the lifespan of the coating.
- Easier to clean and maintain. Less dirt accumulation on paint due to self cleaning effect.
- Superior gloss and UV protection, incomparable to traditional wax.
- Ultra hydrophobic; water will shed easily and quickly with tight beading.
- Reduced brake dust and dirt build up on wheels if coated.
- Great resistance to most bird droppings, chemicals, bug etching, colour fading, oxidation and industrial fallout.
- Scratch resistance. Ceramic coatings are NOT "scratch proof" but do provide visible resistance to normal washing and wear induced damage such as swirl marks and marring.
- Long term protection. You are preserving that just detailed appearance for years to come, thus maintaining your vehicle's overall value.
- Guarantee - We offer an in- house guarantee our coatings will leave you smiling for years.

*Important Care
Although ceramic coatings are very durable and functional, they are not bulletproof. They require regular maintenance for them to keep doing their job. Proper hand washing must be done regularly, about every 2-3 weeks minimum or as needed, to keep the coating clean and able to perform as intended. Automatic car washes are not suitable for a proper clean and will void the guarantee. Wash technique is important; if done incorrectly damage can occur to the coating, such as swirl marks or marring. We are happy to instruct you on proper technique to ensure you can safely care for your coated vehicle; it's easier than you think! Periodic visits to your detailer are crucial to the coatings lasting their longest. We are able to deep clean them beyond what a regular wash can do, and also apply products designed to renew and enhance their performance over time. This should be done every 12 months at minimum.
