CERAMIC COATINGS
NEW VEHICLE PROTECTION
#RIDEOUTCLEAN CORRECTED & PROTECTED
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that’s applied to the exterior of a vehicle to create a long-lasting, protective layer. Once cured, it bonds with the factory paint to form a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants—making your car easier to clean and keeping it looking glossier for longer. Unlike traditional waxes, ceramic coatings are semi-permanent and can last for years when properly maintained.
Ceramic coatings are a popular choice for protecting a vehicle's paintwork. Here are some of the protective and maintenance properties that ceramic coatings offer:
Protective Properties:
Scratch Resistance: Ceramic coatings form a hard, protective layer that is highly resistant to scratches and swirl marks caused by washing or contact with foreign objects.
Chemical Resistance: Ceramic coatings are highly resistant to chemicals such as bird droppings, tree sap, and acid rain, which can damage the vehicle's paintwork.
UV Protection: Ceramic coatings protect the vehicle's paintwork from the damaging effects of UV rays, which can cause fading and discoloration over time.
Hydrophobic Properties: Ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic surface that repels water and prevents dirt, grime, and other contaminants from sticking to the paintwork.
Heat Resistance: Ceramic coatings can withstand high temperatures and protect the paintwork from the damaging effects of heat.
Maintenance Properties:
Easy to Clean: Ceramic coatings make it easier to clean the vehicle, as dirt and contaminants slide off the surface more easily.
Long-Lasting: Ceramic coatings can last for years with proper care and maintenance, which means that the vehicle will require less frequent reapplication of protective coatings.
Stain Resistance: Ceramic coatings are highly resistant to staining, which means that spills and other messes can be easily cleaned up without leaving permanent marks on the paintwork.
Gloss Retention: Ceramic coatings maintain their glossy appearance over time, which helps to keep the vehicle looking new and fresh.
Self-Healing Properties: Some ceramic coatings have self-healing properties, which means that minor scratches and imperfections will disappear over time as the coating reacts to heat and sunlight.
Overall, ceramic coatings offer a high level of protection for a new vehicle's paintwork and can help to keep the vehicle looking new and fresh for years to come. However, it is important to note that proper maintenance is still required to ensure that the coating remains effective over time.
After our ceramic coating install, we offer product recommendations, proper maintenance care approach, and membership maintenance services to keep your vehicle in #RIDEOUTCLEAN status. ✨
