Ceramic Coating FAQs

Ceramic Coatings are a liquid polymer that contain SiO2 (silica dioxide) which is the primary component of glass and is what gives glass its strength and hardness. This integrated SiO2 technology makes this product far more durable and hydrophobic than any wax or sealant.

Ceramic Coatings act as a Sacrifical Layer for your clear coat. Clear coats come out the Manufacturers pretty thin these days. Averaging about 1.5 to 2 mils. The average piece of paper is about 6 mils thick.

So the main purpose of a Ceramic Coating is to help prevent oxidation and fading of your clear coat.

They protect your vehicle’s paint from harmful UV Rays, weather corrosion, acid rain, industrial fallout, bird droppings, and tree sap. All these things, when left on the car, can damage your clear coat very quickly.

Imagine driving a brand new vehicle off the dealership lot, your car gets pooped on, and within a month that bird dropping has now etched itself into the clear coat because bird dropping become caustic in the sun.

We offer a 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and 7 year.

Our 1 Year is our entry level ceramic coating. Best suited for car owners who want the great benefits of a ceramic coating but want to stay budget friendly.

Our most popular options are our 3 and 5 year ceramic coating. People who are leasing a car typically getthe 3 year and people who are purchasing their car typically get the 5 year ceramic coating.

Our 7 year, 3 layer ceramic coating called Trinity, is reserved for those who want the absolute best protection and performance for their cars. We’ve sold quite a few of these packages and we’re not surprised. The 3 Layer Coating combines the strength of our 5 year coating and the extreme slickness and hydrophobic properties of our 3 year ceramic coating.

Ceramic Coatings are considered Semi-Permanent. Hypothetically speaking, if you ceramic coated a car, then parked it in a climate-controlled garage forever, than yes, it could potentially last forever.

Ceramic Coatings help prevent Micro-Marring but they do not prevent damage from improper car wash techniques and running your car through a tunnel wash.

Following the 2 bucket method or a proper rinseless soap method for those living in an apartment, you can elicit amazing results without scratching the coating.

Ceramic Coatings need to be maintained with biweekly hand washes or touchless car washes with pressure jet sprayers to clean your car.

If you neglect your ceramic coating, it will clog up and lose its hydrophobic properties. Eventually if you never wash your car, the ceramic coating will become damaged from harmful substances such as bird droppings, tree sap and other contaminants such as industrial fallout.

Ceramic Coatings can take a beating far more than a clear coat can, but if you want it to last the 1, 3, 5 or 7 years, you still have to take care of it.

Biweekly hand washes using the 2 bucket method with ph neutral soap with no additives, Rinseless style washes or Touchless car washes.

Every 12 months we will need to perform a exterior decontamination wash to keep your Ceramic Coating healthy and breathing.

If you neglect to do this, your coating will more than likely fail prematurely.

The short answer is no. Sure, yes you can try it out but you would be playing with fire. When a ceramic coating is left unleveled, the solvent that carries the coating to keep it in liquid form until it is installed could potentially be left on the paint for too long, causing it to cure along with the Ceramic Coating.

This would leave rainbow-like streas all over the car, and the only way to remove these are via wetsanding.

This is where it could become very dangerous, with an untrained hand, you could sand right through your clear coat in a matter of seconds.. and now you have to do this to the entire car.

So to answer your question, no. I highly do not suggest trying to apply a ceramic coating to anything without proper training and education.
