Why Ceramic Coating is Worth the Investment

If you own a vehicle and care about its looks, then you can’t fail to have heard about ceramic coating. If you’ve done a bit of investigation into the subject, you’ll likely have noticed that there’s a big difference in the cost of a DIY application and that done by a professional car detailing service 

The price difference is significant because all ceramic coatings are not made equal. So let’s look at why this is, demystify the differences, and discuss why the ultimate ceramic coating from a top provider is something that every prestige car owner should consider.

The 3 Different Grades of Ceramic Coating

1. Ceramic coating durability: the DIY route
2. Ceramic coating durability from a car valeting service
3. The ultimate ceramic coating durability from a car detailing service

1: Ceramic coating durability: the DIY route

Any online search will return thousands of cheap(ish) DIY ceramic coating options. 

However…The true nano-technology that provides robust paintwork protection, that to-die-for shine, and helps keep your car cleaner for longer isn’t something that can be achieved for a few bucks and the length of time it takes to carry out a decent car wax.

In short, cheap DIY ceramic coating is nothing more than a car wax that barely nods in the direction of the ceramic nano-tech that’s going to increase both the value and the kudos of your vehicle.

The pros:

• It’s cheap.
• It’s better than leaving your car at the mercy of the elements.
• It does make your vehicle’s paintwork look better in the short term.

The cons: 

• It takes time (be prepared to spend a whole day prepping the car and applying the coating).
• It’ll gradually wear away over the coming few weeks, meaning you’ll need to do it again.
• It doesn’t add any value to your vehicle.

2: Ceramic coating durability from a car valeting service

You’ve probably seen many car valeting services offering to add ceramic coating for a few hundred bucks. It’s commonly seen from valeting providers that work out of parking lot locations and those who visit your home or work. This can seem to be a mid-range alternative that doesn’t involve the significant outlay of the third option in this list.

Again, there are advantages and disadvantages of such a service.

Pros:

• Someone else does all the hard work.
• It’s not going to break the bank.
• It can be done at a location convenient to you, meaning you don’t have to take any time out of your day.
• Again, it improves and protects the paintwork in the short term.

Cons:

• This is still a temporary installation, so will need redoing in a few weeks or months.
• They most likely use a DIY product meaning you could do the same job yourself.
• It won’t protect against paintwork fade over the long term.
• It won’t improve the value of your vehicle.

OK, so the big-ticket item that involves a professional car detailer taking your vehicle off your hands for a couple of days is the real deal. Advanced nano-technology ceramic coating isn’t a product that can be installed in a few hours. It requires meticulous prep, followed by careful application. Then, crucially, the product needs to be given a minimum of 24 hours to cure in a semi-sterile and temperature-controlled environment.

Only then will the vehicle benefit from the true power of nano-technology excellence.

Such an installation brings:

• A deep shine that can’t be achieved by waxing or any inferior ceramic coating products.
• True hydrophobia—water beads and runs away from the surface. It collects dirt as it does, meaning this is also removed from the vehicle. This results in a car that not only stays cleaner for longer but also simplifies the washing process when you roll up your sleeves to wash your pride and joy.
• Protection from UV rays, thus reducing paint fade over time.
• Some minor protection from rock strikes and scratches. If you combine a professional ceramic coating with paint protection film, then you get true paintwork gleam AND the best protection of all.

And… it lasts for years, unlike the measly weeks or months of the two cheaper options. Oh, and let’s not forget that it’s considered a valuable upgrade, so it’ll increase the value of your car too…
