Ceramic Coating Preparation for Your Vehicle - Clay Sponge

In terms of overall quality and appearance, trying to keep your trucks, car paint in great condition will take effort and money. In the last couple of years, many products have hit industry that claim to be the best and that will maintain the paint of your car in excellent condition.

Then one that has really been in the forefront of all this and I would say the last ten years or so, has been ceramic coating. We are going to go over ceramic coatings and whether or not they are worth the money. During the last 10 years, ceramic coatings have grown in popularity, providing some of the best paint protection on the market.

There are usually offers for it, from your neighborhood detailing shop to car social media content creators, to pretty much everywhere else. Almost everyone swears by this stuff. Lots of people get a little turned off when they get a good look at the cost for the first time. First let's figure out what ceramic coating is. The main ingredient of a ceramic coating is silicon dioxide or silicon carbide.

It is available in a liquid form, allowing it to be applied to a vehicle and adhere to the vehicle's finish.

Once solidified, the Silicon dioxide and other characteristics of the coating combine to produce an additional protective layer that repels water and provides some protection from the sun's UV rays and other harmful rays. For the longest time and I mean a long, long time, waxes dominated the paint protection and automotive detailing industry. 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.

360 Products (available at ADSO stores) make a line of products created with nano-ceramic technology. Due to this, everything changed. But like, why?

What made this product so revolutionary? Is there anything that separates a car wax from a ceramic coating, and why is it so expensive? Ceramic coatings offer much longer lifespan than wax coatings. Generally, a wax will last between three and six weeks before a reapplication is necessary. For ceramics, the lifespan is usually two to five years depending on the quality of the product and the application.

In addition, ceramic paint protects better against UV rays and other things that harm your paint.

It works fine, you've seen the videos of people throwing mud on their car and it just falls off and they can just rinse it off. However, sometimes people just like to over-hype it just a little bit. And what I mean by that is that, because ceramic coating has become so popular, some detailers and people who promote ceramic coating like to stretch the truth just a tad. Meaning there are some common misconceptions about the product and ceramic coating.

It does not completely eliminate water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although 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. Number two, ceramic coating does not help protect your car against rock chips and scratches.

In spite of its ability to protect against light scratches, I wouldn't think it is an all-in-one scratch proof solution. For something like that, you're gonna wanna look at investing in some protective film or Clear Bra or something like that. Finally, it isn't as expensive as it seems.

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 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.

Everything costs more when it's new, and eventually that price goes down, that's just how things are. Getting your car ceramic coated is a lot of work, so you'll have to pay someone to do it for you. Ultimately, it has to be worth it for you and your vehicle.

If you own a nice paint job on your car, you should protect it. Spend a few hundred dollars on a ceramic coating for your car. It is possible to coat more than just your car.
