(CLAY BAR DETAILING) Tips for Ceramic Coating Prep

Looking after your car's paint is a time consuming and sometimes pretty costly procedure, but it really can make a big difference regarding its overall appearance and quality. Over the past several decades, a lot of products have hit industry that claim to be the very best which will maintain the paint of your vehicle in great condition.

And one that has really been in the forefront of all of this and I would say the last 10 years or so, has been ceramic coating. We will discuss ceramic coatings and whether they are worth it. Over the last decade, ceramic coatings have gained tremendous popularity, providing among the best paint protection available.

The technology is being marketed just about everywhere, from your local detailing store to automotive YouTube channels, as well as everywhere in between. There are a lot of people who recommend this stuff. The 1st time people see the price tag, they are usually discouraged. Here's an easy breakdown of what ceramic coating is all about. Ceramic coatings are often known as nano coatings, and they contain silicon dioxide or silicon carbide.

It comes in a liquid form which allows it to be put on to a vehicle and fully protect vehicle's finish.

After it has hardened, the silicon dioxide properties of the coating form an extra layer of protection that repels water and provides some protection from the sun's UV rays. The paint protection and auto detailing industry was dominated by waxes for a long, long time. What started out as using fats from animals in the late 1800s and early 1900s to give those old horse carriages a good spit shine, quickly and thankfully evolved into some more cruelty-free solutions using plant-based products. A variety of waxes were used to detail automobiles and give them the beautiful, glossy sheen that their owners desired during the 1900s.

If you wanted to keep your paint looking good, repel water and add just that good little bit of layer of protection, adding a good layer of wax was your solution.

360 Products (available at ADSO stores) make a line of products created with nano-ceramic technology. Due to this, everything changed in a big way. But like, why?

Why was this new product such a game changer? Why is a ceramic coating so expensive compared to car wax? What are the factors that distinguish ceramic coatings from car wax? The biggest difference between a wax and a ceramic coating is its longevity. You'll need a reapplication after about three or 6 weeks with a good wax. Ceramic coating on the other hand will typically last anywhere from two to five years depending on the application and the quality of the product.

Ceramic coating also does a better job of protecting against UV rays and other natural things that can harm your paint.

I'm not going to tell you this, but it does do an amazing job, you've probably seen people throwing mud on their cars and it just falls off, and they just rinse it off with a hose. However, sometimes people just like to over-hype it just a little bit. In other words, a lot of detailers and people who are promoting ceramic coating like to slightly overstate the truth. Meaning that there are some common myths about the product and about ceramic coating out there.

It does not eliminate or prevent water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although it does help. Using a ceramic coating that has hydrophobic characteristics, water and moisture droplets may flow off the surface much more easily, which is why water spots are less likely to appear. As a result of the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, it allows water and droplets to run off easier, which explains why you see it in the videos. Furthermore, ceramic coatings do not provide adequate protection against rock chips and scratches.

In spite of its ability to protect against light scratches, I wouldn't think it is an all-in-one scratch proof solution. If something like that happens, maybe you should invest in some protective film or Clear Bra. The third thing is that it's really not that expensive.

Ceramic coatings were pricey when they first came out, possibly up to $1500 a pop You can now have your car professionally ceramic coated by a professional detailer for around $700.

If you're getting a quote to have your car coated, you might have to get the paint corrected first, which adds to the cost. Or, I mean, if you wanna just get a bottle of the stuff and do it yourself, learn the process, maybe mess it up once or twice, more power to you.

Everything costs more when it's new, and eventually that price goes down, that's just how things are. It is important to note that part of the cost of ceramic coating your car is paying someone to do the application for you. It has to be worth it for you and your car.
