What is a ceramic coating for cars?
A ceramic coating is a liquid product, made up of ceramic nano particles suspended in a clear resin that when applied, hardens and cross links into a virtually impermeable surface that is chemically bonded to your vehicle.
A quality paint protection ceramic coating will display durability, longevity, outstanding water repellency, increased gloss, greater resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and has additional UV blockers to prevent color fading and oxidation. Ceramic coatings are not paint, but they do bond to paint and help protect your car's paint surface.
If applied correctly, ceramic coatings do not fog, delaminate or chip off the paint surface. It is considered “semi-permanent” due to the fact it will always be there until it is abraded off the surface.
