11 Things You Didn’t Know About Ceramic Coating
There are many different types of car coatings on the market, but one that stands out from the rest is ceramic coating. You may be wondering what sets it apart from other coatings and why you should choose this type for your vehicle. In today’s blog post we will take a look at 11 things about the ceramic coating that you probably didn’t know!
It provides up to nine times the rust protection of waxes and sealants.
The paint surface becomes hydrophobic, which means water will bead in contact. This helps prevent mineral deposits from staining your vehicle’s finish. Water sports are also much easier to remove with ceramic coating because it is designed for extra durability–and you can expect it to last twice as long compared to other coatings!
The ceramic coating forms a strong barrier between your paint and the elements that protect it from road salt, bug residue, bird droppings, sap, dust, and corrosion.
The formula is typically infused with UV protection to prevent fading on any affected surfaces–and because of this feature, you will never have to wax or polish your car again!
Ceramic coating Toms River NJ can be applied by hand or machine but either way, you must purchase an applicator kit beforehand for the process to be completed.
It also helps repel traffic film. This type of coating provides more shine than traditional waxes while adding a layer of clear polymers for extra protection against contaminants like bugs and grime that attach themselves during everyday driving conditions. You still have to wash your car though!
It’s easy to remove any dirt, oil, or grime that does accumulate on the surface. All you have to do is use a light cleaner and warm water–and this process can even be done by hand if necessary. If using a pressure washer then it needs to be set at 2000 psi max for general washing and 3000 psi max for rinsing only. You should not exceed 1000psi when removing ceramic coating with an automatic machine (if applying via this method).
Because of its hydrophobic nature, regular soap won’t work as well as specialized ceramic coatings detergent will need to be used instead. This type of product contains ingredients that help break down dirt and oil.
It also can prevent damage from bird droppings, bug splatters, sap, and road salt/sugar (which can cause corrosion). This surface coating will last up to two years before needing a replacement–and it helps protect your car against fading during this time as well!
The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings make them extremely easy to wash off with just water when you get back home. You don’t need soap or any type of special cleaner for this process like you would with waxes and sealants–just spray some on your vehicle’s finish and wipe dry using microfiber towels. Make sure no residues remain behind after rinsing though because they could attract more contaminants to the surface.
Ceramic coating NJ is available in a few different styles–for instance, there is a polished or matte ceramic coating that primarily affects the appearance of your car’s finish as opposed to its durability and protection level. In other words, matte finishes do not provide as much shine as those with shiny surfaces but they typically offer better self-cleaning capabilities. Polished paint will be more susceptible to swirl marks and scratches compared to matte because it has a higher friction coefficient than non-polished paint. You can also buy full-body ceramic coating kits that include multiple parts like headlights and wheels for an all-over fully protected vehicle.
