Unlike a wax that just sits on the surface and is washed off easily, a ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paintwork. This creates a barrier between the finished results and the outside elements, sealing in the gloss and protecting the finish for years to come.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating
The benefit of having a ceramic coating applied is to add a barrier to strengthen the car’s paintwork and give it more protection from light scratches and abrasions. Abrasive materials like mud and grit are less likely to leave swirl marks and create unsightly damage to your car bodywork.
Protection from Ultraviolet Rays
Long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can create a range of issues for your car’s paint finish and extreme heat can promote oxidation, causing cracks, peeling or colour fade. A professional ceramic coating creates a protective shield against the damaging effects of the sun and extends the lifespan of your car’s paintwork.
Protection from Toxic Everyday Substances
Bird droppings and insect matter contain high levels of uric acid and enzymes that, if left unwashed, can dissolve into your vehicle’s exterior. Mud and grime can have the same effect if baked into a car left in the Sun for extended periods. This kind of paint damage can be costly to repair. A ceramic coating is one of the best ways to prevent this happening as the layer of ceramic lacquer fuses with the paint and prevents many contaminants from penetrating
Protection from the Effects of Rain Water
Water contains calcium and other mineral deposits that can create stains on your car paintwork over a prolonged period. Keeping your car dry is impossible and that is why many vehicle owners opt for a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, which means they actively repel water molecules so that water droplets visibly bead and run straight off.
