What Is Ceramic Coating
Because we are detailers, we’re tempted to get into the nitty-gritty of what a ceramic coating is and why it’s the 9th wonder of our Carbondale auto detailing business, but we don’t want to bore you! A ceramic coating is like a thick winter coat you put on your kids before they go sledding. It’s a hyper-durable and extremely hard layer of silicon dioxide (glass) that cures to the entire exterior of your vehicle’s paint, glass, and other surfaces. Not only do ceramic coatings give a rich, glossy appearance to the car’s paint that is absolutely unmatched, but a nano ceramic coating is designed to last somewhere between 3 - 7+ years, depending on the coating you choose. Ceramic coatings have 2 jobs.

Long-term protection.

Busting Common Ceramic Coating Myths
Myth: You never need to wash your vehicle again
After applying a ceramic coating, it might appear that washing becomes unnecessary because the coating resists dirt, grime, and stains so effectively. However, regular cleaning is still vital. Routine washes help extend the life of the coating and keep your vehicle looking its best by removing accumulated contaminants. Consistent upkeep ensures that the coating remains effective and your vehicle maintains its pristine appearance.
Myth: Ceramic coatings are only for luxury vehicles
Contrary to popular belief, ceramic coatings aren’t reserved solely for high-end models. In fact, any car, regardless of its age or style, can benefit from the protection and shine these coatings provide. The lustrous, smooth finish they create enhances a vehicle’s overall appearance, making it look refreshed and more appealing. Whether you drive a modern sports car, a timeless classic, or a dependable daily ride, a ceramic coating offers enduring benefits to preserve and elevate your vehicle's exterior. It truly delivers lasting, visible results.
Myth: Ceramic Coating Can Be Applied at Home
Although applying a ceramic coating might appear to be a DIY endeavor, achieving the best results truly requires professional expertise. It isn’t merely about layering a product; it demands thorough surface preparation, exact application methods, and proper curing periods that rely on specialized skills and high-quality materials. Professionals deliver an even, flawless finish across your vehicle, steering clear of typical DIY mistakes like streaks or inconsistent thickness that can significantly compromise the coating’s longevity and overall performance.
