Is Ceramic Coating Worth Your Money?

Is Ceramic Coating Worth Your Money?

You might not have bothered about your car's paint because why should you? It seems perfect in your eyes and all is well. But did you know that there are cracks and imperfections in your car's paint job that if left unchecked will affect your car's paint and compromise your car's look? Here is why ceramic coating is worth your bucks.


What is Ceramic Coating?

Imagine a microscopic shield – that's ceramic coating! It's a liquid polymer applied to your car's exterior (and sometimes interior) that bonds to the paint, creating a protective barrier. This invisible force field defends against:

  • Harsh UV rays: San Diego's sunshine is beautiful, but it can wreak havoc on your car's paint. Ceramic coating acts like sunscreen, preventing fading and color loss.

  • Road warriors: Salt, grime, and construction debris can scratch and damage your paint. Ceramic coating repels these threats, keeping your car looking showroom-fresh.

  • Washing woes: Tired of endless car washes? Ceramic coating makes washing a breeze. Its hydrophobic properties repel water, dirt, and mud, allowing for easier cleaning and less frequent washes.


Advantages of San Diego Ceramic Coating

Advanced Protection

Ceramic coating is excellent in repelling water, dirt mud, and bird poop. It also protects your car's paint job from the chemicals of maintenance sprays and waxes.

The ceramic coating offers enhanced protection that other waxes and enhancements don't. No matter what the threat, with the ceramic coating on your car you can be confident that it is protected.

Adds Depth to the Car's Paint

The coatings are quite effective at preventing external elements like dirt and water from adhering to your original paint. They can therefore easily preserve the intensity of your paint color for far longer times.

These coatings also produce a chemical-resistant surface that greatly reduces the likelihood of stains and chipping while making it much simpler to remove any impurities that might adhere to the coating.

Ceramic coatings can give your paint job a pearly sparkle as well as a high gloss and dimension.

Increases Your Car's Durability and Longevity

The coating chemical-resistant barrier results in a far more durable surface that is less susceptible to fading, corrosion, and abrasion.

Additionally, these coatings help shield your car's surface from the effects of weather conditions like UV radiation and snow.

These protective coatings are available for both the interior and exterior of your automobile, so you are not limited to just the exterior.


The Ceramic Coat Application Procedure

The exterior of the car must first be thoroughly washed before applying a ceramic coating. To adhere, the ceramic coating needs to be able to chemically attach to the paint.

Once your car is completely clean, the ceramic coating gets sprayed onto the vehicle in a liquid form. The coating will be manually applied by a qualified technician to each panel of the car's painted external surfaces.

Prior to adequately protecting your car, the ceramic coating must cure. The coating needs twenty-four hours on average to cure, so you shouldn't let the rain get to your car while it's curing.

Prepping for Perfection: The Ceramic Coating Process

Before your car gets its gleaming ceramic shield, it undergoes a meticulous preparation process. Here's what to expect:

  • Deep Clean: The foundation for a flawless application is a spotless canvas. Your car will receive a thorough wash, eliminating dirt, grime, and any contaminants that might hinder the ceramic coating's bond.

  • Liquid Armor: Once the paint is squeaky clean, the ceramic coating comes into play. A qualified technician will meticulously apply the coating by hand, ensuring even coverage across all painted exterior surfaces.

  • Curing Time: Patience is key! The ceramic coating needs time to properly cure and form its protective barrier.This curing process typically takes around 24 hours, so avoid exposing your car to rain during this time.
