What Ceramic Coating Can (and Cannot) do For Your Car

When it comes to protecting your car from the elements and giving it an impressive new look, there are a variety of different options available. From conventional waxes and oils to more advanced modern coatings, car owners can give their vehicles a new look that stands out at even the most exclusive car shows.

But one of the newest things in this field is a ceramic coating for cars that protects them from the weather and makes them look better.

A ceramic coating helps protect your car from UV rays, road debris, acidic rain, and bird droppings. It is also very affordable and easy to install. But, contrary to what most people think, this type of finish is not a foolproof way to protect the outside of an auto body from damage. Moreover, it can only be applied under certain circumstances. You must consider the type of paint on your car and whether it is something that a coating can adhere to.

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about what you can expect when you apply the ceramic coating, including what it cannot do for your car.

What Is Ceramic Coating?

A nano-ceramic coating is a clear, transparent, and durable coating that can be applied to the surface of your car’s paint.

The ceramic spray coating will protect your vehicle from scratches and swirl marks. Unlike traditional waxes and polishes that merely sit on top of the paint and wear down over time, ceramics go deep into the pores of your car’s finish to create a paint protection film. This keeps foreign objects from scratching through the clear coat and hurting your car’s paint or an existing ceramic coating.

It forms a semi-permanent bond with metal substrates like aluminum or chrome trim pieces, in addition to plastic bumpers and headlights/taillights/mirrors. This means that even if dirt gets trapped between these parts—which often causes pitting on other types of vehicles—your ride will look as good as new.

After applying this protective layer, your car will look great for years thanks to its high resistance against scratches and other damage from regular use and wear and tear from weather conditions such as rain or hail storms.

What Does Ceramic Coating Do for Your Car?

A high-quality ceramic coating can help protect your car’s paint from the elements. It’s more complicated than the clearcoat and protects the paint underneath from UV rays, extreme temperatures, bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants.

The Nano coating provides long-lasting protection against scratches and swirl marks. It even prevents water spots, making your car look better than ever.

This makes ceramic coating the ideal solution for people who like to do their own repairs, as the chances of screwing up a repair are almost non-existent.

What Ceramic Coating Won’t Do for Your Car

Ceramic coatings can help protect your car’s paint, but they don’t last a lifetime. This means you’ll have to do another application anywhere between 3 and 7 years, depending on the quality of the application and material.

The ceramic coating also does not protect your car from impact. If you get into an accident, the ceramic coating can actually make the dent appear worse, as it can get damaged.

Ceramic coatings can protect your car from scratches and rock chips, but they don’t protect against rust. You need to keep your car relatively clean to keep it from rusting.

Car ceramic coating also restricts your ability to repaint your car in the future. If you ever decide to have your car repainted, have the ceramics removed, or they will ruin the new paint job. That said, removing the coating can be a rather difficult task, so it’s best to leave it to the pros.
