To ensure­ a ceramic coating adheres e­ffectively to the paint and provide­s optimum durability, proper cleaning and decontamination of the­ surface are esse­ntial. Both physical and chemical methods should be e­mployed for thorough preparation. Insufficient surface­ preparation can result in inadequate­ adhesion of the coating, leading to de­creased protection, shine­, and longevity.

  • Alkaline Hand Wash
  • Mechanical Decontamination with Clay Bar
  • Chemical Decontamination with Iron Remover
  • Multi-Stage Paint Correction (Additional Cost)

10 Reasons Why A Ceramic Coating Is A Great Investment For Pittsburgh's Car Owners

Have you ever wanted to keep your car looking brand new for as long as you keep it? We all go through the same love phase with our new car. It rolls off the dealership lot shining like a diamond, catching the envy of all our friends and family. But then, a couple years pass, and the gloss starts to fade, swirl-marks start to appear, and trims start to fade. Until today there was nothing we could do about it other than applying waxes or sealants every few months.

With ceramic coatings however, we now have a solution to maintain that brand luster without too much maintenance.

In this article we'll start by understanding what a ceramic coating actually is and how it works. Then, we'll explore the long list of benefits it brings to the table. But, we won't shy away from discussing the limitations too – after all, no product is perfect.

Key Points

  1. Ceramic coating is a great investment for car owners, providing long-lasting protection while enhancing the appearance of any vehicle.
  2. It offers robust protection, including protection against UV rays, chemical staining from bird-droppings, bug splatters, and oxidation.
  3. The hydrophobic effect of coatings make washing and maintaining your car significantly less time consuming.
  4. To get the best result, it's essential to choose a reputable and experienced ceramic coating installer or shop.
  5. Despite its benefits, it also has limitations, such as not being able to prevent rock chips and scratches, and requiring proper maintenance to maintain its effectiveness over many years.

What Is A Ceramic Coating?

It is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. It creates a protective layer that bonds with the car's paint, forming a hard and durable shield.

Key Characteristics of Coatings:

  1. Long-lasting Protection: A ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection against various environmental contaminants such as UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and bug splatters - more on that below. Its hydrophobic properties repel water and dirt, making it easier to clean the car.
  2. Enhanced Gloss and Shine: It enhances a car's appearance by adding depth and clarity to the paint. The reflective properties give the vehicle a glossy and shiny finish.
  3. Chemical Resistance: Ceramic coatings provide excellent resistance against chemical contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, and harsh detergents. These substances can etch into the paint and cause permanent damage, but ceramic coating prevents this from happening.
  4. Surface Hardness: It forms a hard layer on top of the paint. This hardness helps to prevent the formation of swirl marks, micro scratches, and marring that can occur during the washing and detailing processes.

Advantages of Ceramic Coatings

Coatings have gained immense popularity among car owners due to their numerous advantages. Let's explore some of the key benefits that make ceramic coating a dream investment for every car owner.

  1. Longevity: Unlike traditional wax or sealants that wear off within a few months, car coatings provide long-lasting performance. It chemically bonds with the paint surface, creating a durable and resilient barrier that can withstand harsh weather conditions and frequent washing.
  2. Protection Against Stains, Etching, and other Surface Damages: They may not protect against rock chips and stone chips but they do prevent stains and etching from corrosive elements such as insect splatters, bird gifts from the sky and more!
  3. Cost-Effective: While ceramic coatings may require an initial investment, they prove to be cost-effective in the long run. With their long-lasting protection, you can avoid the need for bi-yearly waxing, saving both time and money.
  4. Hydrophobic Properties & Easy Maintenance: One of the most sought after feature is their hydrophobic properties. Hydrophobicity creates a slick surface that repels water and prevents dirt and grime from sticking to the paintwork. This makes washing your car much easier. Pittsburgh is notorious for some pretty nasty winter seasons, one coated your car will only need a quick touchless car wash to keep its high gloss during winter season.
  1. Improved Resale Value: A well-maintained car with a ceramic coating often commands a higher resale value. Potential buyers are attracted to the like-new finish.

How to Get the Best Result with Your Automotive Coating

Applying a ceramic coating to your car is a great investment that can protect your vehicle's paint and enhance its appearance. To ensure you get the best possible results from yours, follow these tips:

  • Choose a Professional Installer: While there are DIY ceramic coating kits available, it's highly recommended to have the coating applied by a professional. They have the expertise and experience to properly prepare the surface and apply the coating, resulting in a more durable protection and gloss while eliminating the risk of improper installation that can result in damage to the clear-coat.
  • Consider Paint Correction: If your car has any imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, it's a good idea to address these issues before applying the ceramic coating. Once the installation is done, it will no longer be possible to rectify these defects without remove the coating entirely. A professional detailer can perform paint correction to restore the paint's clarity, allowing the coating to truly shine.
Paint correction can significantly improve the appearance of your ceramic coating.
  • Choose A Reputable Brand: Over the last 10 years, a plethora of nano-coating brands have invaded the market. Many are nothing more than repackage foreign coatings with dubious ingredients. Stick with the leaders to ensure your coating will perform as advertised. These include JADE, Ceramic Pro, CQUARTZ, GTechniq, and Gyeon to name a few.
  • Maintain Regular Maintenance: While ceramic coatings offer excellent protection, they are not maintenance-free. Regularly maintain your coated vehicle by washing it using mild, pH-neutral car shampoo and then refreshing it with a ceramic coating maintenance spray will ensure your coatings perform for years to come.

Limitations of Ceramic Coatings

While car coatings are undoubtedly a game-changer it's essential to note that they do have a few limitations. Understanding these limitations can help you make an informed decision and set realistic expectations for what it can and cannot do for your vehicle.

Not As Strong As Paint Protection Film

Ceramic coatings are not a magical shield that make your car impervious to scratches, rock chips, or other forms of cosmetic damage. From fender benders to rock chips, the roads of Pittsburgh present many challenges that can only be prevented with PPF. While it offers a non negligible amount of protection against swirl marks, it is still possible for your car to sustain swirl marks over time but significantly less than a non-coated car.

No A Coating Won't Last Forever Without Maintenance

If you don't properly maintain the coating at least once a year, the advertised durability and performance will be significantly reduced. Maintenance isn't exhaustive either, so take care of it at least once a year.

It Is Not A Substitute To Paint Protection Film

Coatings and PPF are entirely different products that provide solutions to different problems. PPF is a lot more expensive but will deliver on its promise of protection against deep scratches and rock chips. A coating on the other hand will never protect against such type of damage.

To Wrap Up

With its numerous benefits, including protection against UV rays, scratches, and fading paint, it’s no wonder why this innovative product has reached critical mass in the automotive world. The glossy, hydrophobic finish it provides not only enhances the appearance of your car but also makes it easier to clean.

Despite the limitations, the long-term protection and cost savings make ceramic coatings a worthwhile investment. By following the recommended care and maintenance guidelines, you can ensure that your ceramic coating stays in top condition for years to come.So, what are you waiting for? Take the plunge and give your car the protection it deserves.
