The Sunshine State is, without a doubt, one of the best places in the world to live. Whether you’re a petrol head, biker, or seek your thrills out on the water, then our awesome climate is the perfect backdrop to doing what you love. 

But there’s one tiny drawback to being bathed in those glorious rays for so many days of the year—the damage it causes to paintwork and other surfaces on our beloved vehicles.

Thankfully, the answer is simple—ceramic coating. In Florida, it’s pretty much a necessity if you care about your car (truck, van, 4x4, bike, boat, jet ski… Insert your vehicle of choice) to prevent color fade, paintwork, or surface degradation. 

So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at your options…

Paintwork & Other Surface Protection: Is Ceramic Coating the Best Option in Florida?

The wonders of ceramic coating

Ceramic coating is a robust, proven method of protecting paintwork or surfaces from the harmful effects of UV rays. 

It consists of a chemical polymer solution that contains multiple, invisible ceramic elements. This so-called “nano-technology” means that it bonds tightly to a surface, creating a layer that’s impermeable to not only the sun, but other environmental and atmospheric aspects as well.

The best quality ceramic coatings last for many years, ensuring the paintwork or surface beneath remains untouched and beautiful.

But that’s not all, because ceramic coating also offers additional benefits. These include:

• Being hydrophobic: This is a fancy way of saying that the surface repels water. When liquid hits the surface, it forms into beads that, thanks to gravity, run downwards and away. As this happens, any dirt or grime is also stripped away. This helps keep the surface clean. While adding a protective ceramic layer to your car, boat, or other vehicle doesn’t mean you’ll never have to wash it again, it does make the cleaning process far easier.
• Creates a deep, gorgeous sheen: Nothing—and we mean nothing—shines like ceramic coating. This is because the microscopic ceramic elements catch the light, reflecting it outwards. This results in a gleam that can’t be matched, no matter how hard you may wax or polish. There are also specialist ceramic coatings for matt finishes, designed to keep those fabulous flat visuals but bring a whole new depth dimension.
• Protects from chemical attack: Such as bird droppings, acid rain, tree sap, etc. These are far easier to remove from a ceramic coating than from paintwork. Plus, it ensures that the acidic nature never gets the opportunity to eat into the paint or surface below in the first place.
• Prevents color fade: No matter whether it’s UV rays (by far the greatest cause of color fade in Florida or any hot location) or other environmental factors, a well-installed, top-quality ceramic coating ensures the shade remains vibrant and true.

Other options to consider

You could also consider other protective products, such as paint protection film (PPF). This is a viable alternative or, for the ultimate, protection, you can combine the two. Ceramic coating can also be applied over a car wrap. This will extend the longevity and provide all the wonderful benefits of easy cleaning, shine, and other protective properties.
