What IS Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating initially gained popularity as a professional service provided by detailing shops like Tintix. Recently, they’ve become more widely available, affordable, and easy to use.

There are a variety of popular options depending on how seriously you take your car’s care. Some ceramic treatments come in concentrate kits, while others come as hybrid waxes or spray-on and rinse-off products.

Are you asking, what is a ceramic coating? or what is a ceramic coating for cars?

Ceramic coating is a long-term nano-scopic exterior automotive paint treatment and protectant that is applied in a liquid form and cures to form a hard layer on top of the paint. Essentially, it’s the candy shell that protects the paint’s delicious chocolate center.

Ceramic coating is typically composed of silicon dioxide (silica, Si02), which is sourced from natural materials such as quartz and sand. Some types and brands also use titanium dioxide (titania, Ti02) as an additional hardening agent. When applied to a car’s paint, the two create a chemical bond with hydrophobic, or “water-repellent,” properties.

advantages of ceramic Coating

Superior UV Protection

You can only imagine the damage that the sun’s harmful UV rays can do to your car’s paint job. Ceramic coating will protect your car’s paint from oxidizing, preventing it from fading and wearing down to a dull look. This is absolutely critical if you park your car outside.

Protection from Chemical Stains

The rise of air pollution in the environment is a significant concern for homeowners. However, ceramic coating is the perfect solution in this regard. The ceramic coating we provide will protect your car from the chemical stains that arise from the air’s acidic pollutants.

Better than waxing

Earlier, cars were given that extra shine by waxing. However, waxing is temporary and will eventually wear off. Both waxing and ceramic coating take a considerable amount of time to be applied. But in the long run, the ceramic coating is better than waxing due to its long life and better finish.

Candy-Like Gloss

All car owners will find aesthetic appeal here. Ceramic coating, like paint protection film and clear bra, adds gloss and depth to your car's paint. It will give your car a glossy look, bringing the best out of the original paint job.

Easier to clean

When it comes to waxing and other types of detailing, washing your car becomes a headache. With ceramic coating, contaminants are more easily removed during washing and you don’t have to worry about the coating wearing off like traditional wax.

Lasts Longer

Ceramic coating also lasts longer than regular waxes and sealants. Since the coating is infused with the stock paint due to strong chemical bonding, the protection stays put even when exposed to various weather and environmental conditions.

CERAMIC COATING Facts

Unlike traditional coatings, which are typically concocted from polymer resins, a ceramic coating is silicon dioxide or silica (SiO2) based. Commonly derived from quartz crystals and sand, silica creates an invisible, extremely resilient “nanotechnology coating” when combined with elements like titanium dioxide, poly silazane, triethanolamine, water, and various other ingredients. Once cured atop a hard surface, this viscous liquid forms a crystal-clear shell, a product that is referred to as a nano-ceramic coating, or ceramic coating for short.
