Ceramic Coating Prep for Your Car - Clay Sponge

A car's paint should be kept in excellent condition to maintain its quality and look. Recently, several products have appeared on the market that claim to be the very best which will protect the paint on your vehicle.

Ceramic coating has truly been at the forefront of everything throughout the last several years or so. We are going to talk about ceramic coatings and if they are worth the effort. Over the past decade, ceramic coatings have grown in popularity, providing the very best paint protection on the market.

You will find it endorsed almost anywhere, from detailing suppliers to automotive content creators. There are plenty of people who swear by this stuff. Most people are put off because of the cost when they first see it. Here's a fast breakdown of what ceramic coating is about. The key ingredient of a ceramic coating is silicon dioxide or silicon carbide.

This product is liquid, so it can be applied to a car or truck and adhere to the finish of the car.

Once it's hardened, the Silicon dioxide properties and other properties of the coating form an extra protective shell, I guess you could call it, that repels the water and provide some protection from the sun's UV rays and all that good stuff. Waxes dominated the paint protection and auto detailing world for a long, long time. 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.

The 360 Products line of products (found within ADSO stores) uses nano-ceramic technology to help protect the painted surfaces of your car against scratches and other damage. This was a game changer. But like, why?

How did this new product change the game? Is there anything that separates a car wax from a ceramic coating, and why is it so expensive? The biggest key differentiator between a wax and a ceramic coating is the longevity of the application. The wax will last anywhere from three to six weeks, before you'll need to reapply it. For ceramics, the lifespan is usually two to five years depending on the quality of the product and the application.

A ceramic coating also protects your paint from UV rays and natural things.

It works fine, you've seen the videos of people throwing mud on their car and it just slides off and they can just rinse it off. However, sometimes people usually tend to overhype things. Some people who promote ceramic coatings stretch the truth just a little bit because ceramic coating has become so popular. The product and ceramic coating in general are subject to a few common misconceptions.

It does not completely eliminate water spots. Unfortunately, that's the truth, although get more info it does help. Using a ceramic coating that has hydrophobic characteristics, water and moisture droplets may flow off the surface much more easily, which is why water spots are less likely to appear. But if you let those drops or spots dry on the surface, you're gonna get the water spots, that's just how it goes. 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 see it as a 100 proof solution. For something like that, you're gonna wanna look at investing in some protective film or Clear Bra or something like that. And number three, it's really not as expensive as you might think.

It was pretty expensive when ceramic coating first came out, costing upwards of $1500 However, you can now have your car professionally ceramic coated for only under $700 by a professional detailer.

A lot of times when you're going to get a quote for having your car coated, you might need to have your car paint corrected first which is where a lot of that extra cost comes in. Or, I mean, if you wanna just get a bottle of the stuff and do it yourself, learn the process, maybe mess it up once or twice, more power to you.

Ceramic coating is likely to be quite expensive when it first hits the market, but it will eventually come down in price over time, that is just how it works. The cost of ceramic coating your car is primarily covering the application process and having someone else do it for you. 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. You can ceramic coat your car for a couple hundred dollars. It is not only your car that can be coated. One of the most popular types of wheel coatings today is ceramic coatings. Having this done is so popular that we have started offering packages as an add-on when you're checking out. We can literally do it for you before you leave and it makes cleaning your tires so much easier.

But that's not all either, we've seen people get things like their seats and other interior parts ceramic coated, a bunch of things that they just don't wanna have to worry about scrubbing down to really get all the dirt off, it just makes the whole process so much easier.

So, if that is something that you find valuable, then by all means, go for it. There has been a lot of progress in ceramic coating technology, and a lot of people here have had their vehicles coated because they swear by the results. All in all, it's gotta be worth it to you, it's gotta be worth it to be putting on your car or part of your car.

This is an investment, so it is best to protect it. So let us know your thoughts on ceramic coating down below and whether or not you've had it done to any of your cars or your wheels or seats, cause that's a thing apparently.
