The Best Way To Prepare Your Vehicle for a Ceramic Coating- (CLAY BAR DETAILING)

It's hard to keep your car's paint in good shape and it can get pricey to do so, but it's a worthwhile investment with regards to the overall look and appearance of your car. Over the past couple of years, a lot of products have hit the market that claim to be the best and that will maintain the paint of your vehicle in excellent condition.

Nowadays, ceramic coating has truly grown in popularity. We are going to go over ceramic coatings and whether or not they are really worth the the cost. It's not a secret that ceramic coatings have skyrocketed in popularity over the last several years, and they promise to offer some of the best paint protection you could apply to your car or truck.

There are almost always offers for it, from your neighborhood detailing store to automotive social media content creators, to pretty much everywhere else. Almost everyone swears by this stuff. Lots of people are put off because of the price when they first see it. First let's figure out what ceramic coating is. Silica dioxide or silicon carbide are the primary ingredients in ceramic coatings, also referred to as nanocoatings.

The fact that it comes in a liquid form allows it to be applied to a vehicle and adhere to the vehicle's finish like no other product on the market.

Once it's hardened, the Silicon dioxide properties and other properties of the coating form an extra protective shell, I guess you could call it, that repels the water and provide some protection from the sun's UV rays and all that good stuff. Traditionally, waxes have dominated the paint protection and auto detailing industries. From using animal fats in the late 1800s and early 1900s to spruce up those old horse carriages, the industry experimented with plant-based alternatives that quickly became more widely accepted. 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?

How did this new product change the game? Is there anything that separates a car wax from a ceramic coating, and why is it so expensive? Ceramic coatings are distinguished from wax coatings by their longer lifetime. The wax will last anywhere from three to six weeks, before you'll need to reapply it. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, can last anywhere from two to five years, depending on the application and product quality.

Furthermore, ceramic coatings here protect against UV rays and other natural things.

I'm not going to tell you this, but it does do a great 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 usually tend to overhype things. And what I mean by that is that, because ceramic coating has become so popular, some detailers and people who promote ceramic coating like to stretch the truth just a tad. The product and ceramic coating in general are subject to a few common misconceptions.

It doesn't get rid of water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although it does help. Its hydrophobic characteristics allow water and water droplets to flow off the surface more easily, as seen in the videos, reducing the amount of possible water spots. 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.

While it might prevent light scratches here and there, I wouldn't consider it more than a 60-70% scratch proof solution. If you are looking for something like that, then probably you should consider having a protective film or a clear bra installed. Finally, it isn't as expensive as it seems.

It was pretty expensive when ceramic coating first came out, costing upwards of $1500 Having said that, you can now have your vehicle professionally ceramic coated for only under $700 by a good detailer.

In many cases, when you get a quote for having your car coated, you'll need the paint of the car corrected first(paint correction). That's where a lot of the extra cost comes from. If you don't mind getting a bottle of the stuff and trying it yourself, learning the process, maybe messing it up once or twice, go for it.

In general, when something new like ceramic coating is introduced it costs quite a bit initially, and then eventually the price will come down over time, that's how it is. However, a lot of the cost that is involved in getting your car ceramic coated is paying for that application process and paying someone to do it for you. It has to be worth it for you and your car.

If you own a nice paint job on your car, you should protect it. Spend a couple hundred dollars, go get your car ceramic coated. And your car isn't the only thing that can be coated either.
