Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coatings Vs. Wax

Ceramic protectants (coatings) provide a much higher durability than wax. They resist heat, UV rays, environmental contaminants & harsh detergents much better than wax.

Wax on the other hand simply sits on top of the paint’s surface. It does not create the chemical bond like we find with ceramic coatings.

The gloss on your car will pop more with a ceramic coating and provide protection from chemical stains and etching.

Do not wash your car for 7 days after ceramic coating application.

Ceramic coatings take a while to cure and provide the necessary protection to your paintwork.

This time allows the ceramic coating to cure properly.

3 Benefits of Ceramic Coating

  • Your car will be easier to clean.

    While ceramic coating will repel water, debris and other elements, you will still have to clean your car. However, it will be easier due to the fact that the coating prevents those elements from bonding to your vehicle.

  • You don't have to wax your car anymore.

    A ceramic coating works as a protective layer for your car’s paint - similar to car wax or sealant but designed to last longer. Ceramic coating does everything that waxing your vehicle does, plus more, therefore it’s not necessary to wax any longer.

  • You will save money.

    The cost to get ceramic coating is more expensive up front, but will save you money in the long run. No more need for waxes and paying for damage that could've been prevented.
