Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle, forming a protective layer once it cures. This layer bonds with the vehicle's paint and provides long-lasting protection against environmental contaminants like dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and UV rays. The coating also enhances the vehicle’s shine, making it look brand new for longer periods.

Ceramic coating provides longer-lasting protection compared to traditional wax, often lasting years instead of months. It forms a chemical bond with the paint, offering superior protection against UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants. Ceramic coatings also enhance the vehicle’s gloss and shine, and unlike wax, they are hydrophobic, meaning water and dirt will bead off the surface, making maintenance easier. Wax, on the other hand, needs to be reapplied frequently and does not offer the same level of durability or protection.

No, ceramic coating does not eliminate the need for regular car washing, but it does make maintenance much easier. Dirt and grime will not bond to the surface as strongly, meaning the car will stay cleaner for longer and will be easier to wash when needed. Regular washing is still recommended to ensure the longevity and appearance of the coating.

Ceramic coating provides a level of protection against minor scratches and swirl marks caused by improper washing techniques, but it is not a substitute for a paint protection film (PPF). Ceramic coating is not bulletproof and will not protect against deep scratches or rock chips. For maximum protection, it is best paired with a PPF.
