When it comes down to overall quality and appearance of your vehicle, preserving the paint on it is a time-consuming and, at times, pricey procedure. However, keeping the paint on your car is very important. Lately, many products have showed up that you can buy that claim to be the very best which will protect the paint on your vehicle.

Ceramic coating has really been at the forefront of all of this over the past 10 years or so. We are going to go over ceramic coatings and whether or not they are worth the money. Over the last few years, ceramic coatings have grown in popularity, providing among the best paint protection available.

The technology is now being promoted just about everywhere, from your neighborhood detailing shop to car YouTube channels, and everywhere in between. Most detailers swear by it. The first time people see the price, they are often discouraged. First let's figure out what ceramic coating is. Silica dioxide or silicon carbide are the main ingredients in ceramic coatings, also referred to as nanocoatings.

It comes in a liquid form allowing it to be put on to a car and fully protect vehicle's finish.

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. Historically, waxes have dominated the paint protection and auto detailing industries. What started out as using fats from animals in the late 1800s and early 1900s to give those old horse carriages a good spit shine, quickly and thankfully evolved into some more cruelty-free solutions using plant-based products. As early as the 1900s, different waxes were used to detail vehicles and give them that shiny, glamorous appearance that their owners desired.

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.

Using nano-ceramic technology, 360 Products (found at ADSO stores) has a series of products that help protect your vehicle's painted surface. And this literally changed everything. But like, why?

Why was this new product such a game changer? What were the key differences between car wax as well as ceramic coatings, and why did ceramic coatings cost so much? The biggest key differentiator between a wax and a ceramic coating is the longevity of the application. A good wax will last you like three to six weeks before you have to reapply it. A ceramic coating will, on the other hand, typically last for about two to five years, depending on the quality and application.

It's better to use ceramic coating because it protects against UV rays and other things that can damage your paint.

It will a fantastic job and I don't need to sit here and let you know that, you've seen the videos of people throwing mud on their cars and just falls off and they can just rinse it off with a hose and it's been proven time and time again. Many times people overhype things a little bit. It is quite common for those who promote ceramic coating to stretch the truth just a tad. Meaning there are some common misconceptions about the product and ceramic coating.

It does not eliminate or prevent water spots. Unfortunately, it is the truth, even though it does help. With the hydrophobic properties that the ceramic coating has, it allows water and water droplets to run off the surface much, much easier, that's why you see it in the videos, which reduces the number of potential water spots. In the videos you'll see that the ceramic coating is extremely hydrophobic, so the water sticks to the surface of the coating, not the surface itself, so it runs off much, much more easily, hence reducing the likelihood of water spots. 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 really rely on it too much. Always combine it with some common sense. 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.

The ceramic coating was initially quite costly, ranging from $1500 to $2000 An expert detailer can now professionally ceramic coat your vehicle for right around $700.

In many cases, when you get a quote for having your car coated, you'll need the paint of the car corrected first(paint correction). That's where a lot of the extra cost comes from. That said, if you wanna just get a bottle of the stuff and do it yourself, learn the process, maybe screw it up a few times, that's cool.

Just like everything, when something new like ceramic coating hits the market it's likely to cost quite a bit and then over time that price will eventually come down, that's just how it goes. Getting your car ceramic coated however involves paying someone to apply the coating. You and your car need to think it's worth it.

A car's paintjob has a really nice look, so I would definitely advise you to protect it. Spend a few hundred dollars on a ceramic coating for your car. It is possible to website coat more than just your car. The ceramic coating of wheels, for instance, has become extremely popular.
