Ceramic Coating FAQ

What Is A Ceramic Coating?

Because we are detailers, we’re tempted to get into the nitty gritty of what a ceramic coating is, why its so popular among our customers in the Miami area, but we don’t want to bore you! Ceramic Coatings are the best form of long term car paint protection in the world. It’s like adding an extra layer of ultra strong, hydrophobic, & chemical resistant clear coat that covers the entire exterior of your car’s paint. Traditional wax will protect your car for a moment, but a long term ceramic coating will protect much longer. Not only do ceramic coatings give a rich, glossy appearance to the car paint that is absolutely unmatched, but a nano ceramic coating is designed to last up to 10 years depending on the coating you choose. Ceramic coatings have 2 jobs:

  1. Long term paint correction

  2. Beautiful gloss and shine (and we mean BEAUTIFUL)

Now lets answer the burning question: Why are ceramic coatings so expensive? Well there are 3 reasons:

  1. First and foremost, ceramic coating application takes TIME. The average ceramic coating application takes about 10 hours… Crazy right?

  2. Automotive ceramic coatings are the hardest, most durable, and advanced form of paint protection that exists! We’re talking YEARS of protection… not months!

  3. And finally, in order to install ceramic coatings properly we put ourselves through some serious training. In fact, we spent about 90 days going through the most reputable online paint correction and ceramic coating training there is! Not to mention all the practice that followed… So at the end of the day, we are charging for our expertise (and we think we’re pretty good :)

After the ceramic coating is applied to the paint, it is as if your vehicle has an extra layer of ultra durable, scratch resistant, and hydrophobic skin. Ceramics are designed to protect against everything that touches the paint from the outside world: bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches, and much more. While normal auto detailing services can help clean and protect the paint temporarily, ceramic coatings form a sort of shield that protects your investment until the day its sold or traded in which means more money in your pocket!

Washing and maintaining your car is inconvenient and tiresome… So after we spend $50,000 on a vehicle we slowly watch it degrade more and more over time because we just don’t want to keep up with it. We think it’s crazy to pay thousands of dollars for a car, drive it unprotected, and trade it in for pennies years later.

After the paint has been completely cleaned, decontaminated, and we’ve created a smooth surface through paint correction, a thin layer of the liquid ceramic coating is applied to the paint, left to cure, then carefully buffed off until all the remains is a thin ceramic layer that is left for 24 hours in order to cure. It’s that simple.
