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

Keeping your car's paint in outstanding condition will take time and money, but it makes a huge difference in the overall quality and presence of your car. Several products have hit the market in recent years that claim to be the most effective and can keep your paint of your vehicle in tip-top shape.

And one that has really been in the forefront of all this and I would say the last ten years or so, has been ceramic coating. We will talk about ceramic coatings and if they are worth it. It's not a mystery that ceramic coatings have exploded in popularity during the last few years, and they guarantee to offer some of the best paint protection you could apply to your car.

There are almost always offers for it, from your neighborhood detailing shop to car social media content creators, to pretty much everywhere else. Professional detailers swear by it. People get turned off by the cost the first time they look at it. Here's a fast breakdown of what ceramic coating is about. The key ingredient of a ceramic coating is silicon dioxide or silicon carbide.

Ceramic coatings is liquid, so it can be applied to a vehicle and adhere to the finish of the car.

When the coating hardens, the Silicon dioxide and other characteristics of the coating combine to produce an additional protective layer that repels water and provides some protection from the sun's UV rays and other such things. Waxes dominated the paint protection and auto detailing world 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. Different waxes were used for detailing cars in the 1900s to ensure they had that nice glamorous shine their owners desired.

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) have a series of products that protect painted surfaces with nano-ceramic technology. And this literally changed everything. But like, why?

How did this new product change the game? How did car wax differ from ceramic coatings and why did it cost so much? The biggest key differentiator between a wax and a ceramic coating is the longevity of the application. You'll need a reapplication after about three or six weeks with a good wax. A ceramic coating will, on the other hand, typically last for about two to five years, depending on the quality and application.

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

It will an amazing job and I don't need to sit here and tell you that, you've watched the videos of people throwing mud on their cars and trucks and just falls off and they can just rinse it off with a hose and it's been proven time and time again. There are, however, instances when people seem to overhype it. In other words, a lot of detailers and people who are promoting ceramic coating like to slightly overstate the truth. I'm saying there are many misconceptions out there about ceramic coatings.

It doesn't get rid of water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although it does help. 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. In the videos you'll see that the ceramic coating is extremely hydrophobic, so the water sticks to the surface of the coating, not the surface itself, so it runs off much, much more easily, hence reducing the likelihood of water spots. Number two, ceramic coating does not help protect your car 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. The cost is lower than you may expect.

The ceramic coating was initially quite costly, ranging from $1500 to $2000 But now you can have your car professionally ceramic coated by the inventors of the stuff itself, for right 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.

Every new thing costs a bit at first, and over time, it'll eventually come down. That's just how it goes. Getting your car ceramic coated however involves paying someone to apply the coating. It has to be worth it for you and your car.

A car's paintjob has a really nice look, so I would definitely advise you to protect it. You can ceramic coat your car for a couple hundred dollars.
