Ceramic Coatings
What is Ceramic Coating? Industry-grade ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect it from external paint damage. Simply put, ceramic coating your vehicle involves adding a chemical polymer solution layer on your vehicle exterior. Hydrophobic properties, self-cleaning, and chemical resistance are just a few of the key benefits of a ceramic coating.
Typically applied by hand, a ceramic coating blends with the paint of your vehicle and creates an additional hydrophobic layer of protection. This means your vehicle gets to maintain its original look at all times. Additionally, adding the ceramic coating layer to your vehicle can make cleaning it a lot easier as it tends to repel dirt, mud, and other debris.
