Whilst wax and sealant technology have improved over the years, they pale in comparison to the durability and performance of a quality professional ceramic coating. The main benefit of choosing to protect your vehicle with a ceramic coat means that you spend less time and money taking care of your asset, all the while benefitting from properties that far exceed traditional waxes and sealants.

Benefits of a ceramic coating:

• Long-term Durability - Long lasting protection from 1 year to over 10 years, saves you money and time by eliminating seasonal waxing / sealant applications while keeping your asset protected for better future resale value.

• UV Resistance - Protects your vehicles paintwork from harsh UV radiation which causes paint failure like clear coat peel and oxidisation over time

• High Gloss & Depth - Serving as a glass shell on the paintwork, the ceramic paint protection system also provides an insane level of gloss and depth of colour

• Chemical Resistance - Protects your vehicle's paintwork from high or low pH environments and vandalism

• Scratch Resistance - At a hardness of 9H, the Nano-coating acts as a sacrificial layer to protect your paint work from light scratches and marring

• Extreme Hydrophobic Properties - Water and debris seamlessly glide off your car due to the ultra slick properties of the coating therefore keeping your car looking great for longer

While it may seem quite strange to spend hundreds to over $1000 dollars on your vehicle to make it look better, to put simply the cost of the ceramic coating comes from the strenuous preparation process.

To prepare your vehicle for a ceramic coating, multiple steps are required to ensure that your ceramic coating bonds properly to a clean surface to ensure maximum adhesion and performance.

It is not as simple as washing down the vehicle and applying the coating but rather the vehicle goes through a full exterior detail, full chemical and mechanic paint decontamination to remove bonded contaminates like - iron, hard water spots, road grime and tar, and many other unseen contaminates. After this process is completed the car is fully machine polished to enhance the gloss and allows for a clean base for the coating to be applied on.

All these tasks take a high level of skill and experience to ensure that the foundation for the coating is clean and looking its best before we lock it in with the ceramic coating (you wouldn’t want to seal your paint while it is looking trashed)

However, rest assured in knowing that with your car properly protected, it will hold its value for longer and you will feel proud to drive a car that look as good as it performs. If you do decide to sell your vehicle later on, you basically make back your investment as your vehicle can be listed higher due to its well-kept condition and of course - you can add that it has been protected so potential buyers will know that the vehicle was looked after.

Whilst you can technically get away without polishing your vehicle’s paint prior to a ceramic coating, we definitely recommend at least a single stage paint enhancement to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity. Furthermore, you are investing a good amount of money into your vehicle’s aesthetics, so it is in your best interest to make sure your vehicle looks its best before locking in the paintwork.

Also, many dealers usually deliver their vehicles with paint defects so it’s always important to correct those mistakes before coating.

The short answer is yes.

Having a ceramic coating doesn’t mean you will never have to wash your car again and that it’ll stay clean forever. Rather the benefits of having a ceramic coating means that washing your car will be much more easier and quicker than washing an unprotected car.

If you have ever tried to wash your own car and had to really scrub and dig into those stubborn bug splats, bird droppings and road grime, you’ll be relieved to hear that ceramic coatings will take care of that for you.

Most of the time you can simply just rinse off contaminants with a strong stream of water and in dirtier cases - a quick glide over using your microfibre mitt will make your car look great again in as little as 10 minutes. Drying your car will be extremely easy too as the water will make every effort to bead and run off the car.

Gone will be the days where you spend 1 - 2 hours scrubbing away leaving you tired and even risking damaging your paint with swirls.
