(CLAY BAR DETAILING) Tips for Ceramic Coating Prep

In terms of overall quality and appearance, maintaining your car's paint in excellent condition will take effort and money. Recently, several products have appeared in the marketplace that claim to be the very best which will protect the paint on your car.

Ceramic coating has truly been at the forefront of all of this over the past decade or so. We are going to discuss ceramic coatings and whether or not they are worth the effort. The ceramic coating industry has skyrocketed in popularity over the last decade, providing the very best paint and clear coat protection available.

The technology is being endorsed almost everywhere, from your neighborhood detailing store to automotive YouTube channels, and everywhere in between. There are plenty of people who recommend this stuff. Lots of people get a little turned off once they get a good look at the cost for the first time. Here's an easy breakdown of what ceramic coating is all about. The key ingredient of a ceramic coating is silicon dioxide or silicon carbide.

The product is available in a liquid form so it may be applied to a car and fully protect finish of the vehicle.

After it has hardened, the silicon dioxide properties of the coating form an extra layer of protection that repels water and provides some protection from the sun's UV rays. For the longest time, wax dominated the automotive detailing and paint protection industries. It used to be that when old horse carriages needed a good shine, they used animal fats. But that quickly changed, thankfully, into more cruelty-free solutions using plant-based products. A variety of waxes were used to detail automobiles and give them the beautiful, glossy sheen that their owners desired during the 1900s.

If you wanted to keep your paint looking good, repel water and add just that good little bit of layer of protection, adding a good layer of wax was your solution.

ADSO (Auto Detail Supplies Outlet) stores carry 360 Products (developed with nano-ceramic technology), which helps protect painted surfaces. Due to this, everything changed. But like, why?

What made this product so revolutionary? Why is a ceramic coating so expensive compared to car wax? What are the factors that distinguish ceramic coatings from car wax? Ceramic coatings are distinguished from wax coatings by their longer lifetime. You'll need a reapplication after about three or six weeks with a good wax. A ceramic coating will, on the other hand, typically last for about two to five years, depending on the quality and application.

A ceramic coating also protects your paint from UV rays and natural things.

In general, it works excellently, and I don't have to sit here and tell you, you've seen mud fall off cars and then they can rinse it out with a hose. In the end, though, sometimes people just like to over-hype things. It is my understanding that some detailers and people who promote ceramic coating tend to stretch the truth just a bit because it is so popular. Meaning there are some common misconceptions about the product and ceramic coating.

It does not completely eliminate water spots. Unfortunately, that's the truth, although it does help. Using a ceramic coating that has hydrophobic characteristics, water and moisture droplets may flow off the surface much more easily, which is why water spots are less likely to appear. As a result of the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, it allows water and droplets to run off easier, which explains why you see it in the videos. Ceramic coatings don't protect your car from rocks chips and scratches.

Even though it may protect against light scratches here and there, I wouldn't see it as a 100 proof solution. If something like that happens, maybe you should invest in some protective film or Clear Bra. The third thing is that it's really not that expensive.

Ceramic coatings were quite expensive when they first appeared, reaching upwards of $1500 An expert detailer can now professionally ceramic coat your vehicle for right around $700.

In most cases, when you receive a quote to have your car coated, you might have to have your car's paint corrected first. This is where the extra cost comes from. Then you can do it yourself, learn the process, maybe mess it up once or twice.

In general, when something new like ceramic coating is introduced it costs quite a bit initially, and then eventually the price will come down over time, that's how it is. The cost of ceramic coating your car is primarily covering the application process and having someone else do it for you. It has to be worth it for you and your car.

The paint on your car should absolutely be protected if it has a really nice paint job. Spend a few hundred dollars on a ceramic coating for your car.
