(CLAY BAR DETAILING) Tricks for Ceramic Coating Prep

It's challenging to maintain your car's paint in great shape and it can get expensive to do so, but it's a worthwhile investment when it comes to the overall look and appearance of your own car. In the last couple of years, many products have hit the marketplace that claim to be the very best and that will maintain the paint of your car in great condition.

Recently, ceramic coating has really grown in popularity. We are going to talk about ceramic coatings and whether or not they are worth the money. Over the last several years, ceramic coatings have grown in popularity, providing among the best paint protection available.

The technology is being endorsed almost everywhere, from your neighborhood detailing shop to automotive YouTube channels, in addition to everywhere in between. Professional detailers swear by it. The first time people see the price, they are often discouraged. First let's figure out what ceramic coating is. It's also known as a nano coating, and silicon dioxide, or silicon carbide, is the main ingredient.

It comes in a liquid form allowing it to be put on to a car or truck and protect vehicle's finish.

Once solidified, 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 harmful rays. Historically, waxes have ruled the paint protection and auto detailing industries. 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. Throughout the 1900s different waxes were used to detail vehicles and bring that nice glamorous shine that their owners sought after.

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.

One of 360 Products' (available at ADSO stores) products was developed with nano-ceramic technology in order to protect and enhance the paint finish of vehicles. Due to this, everything changed. 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? Ceramic coatings offer much longer lifespan than wax coatings. A good wax will last you like three to six weeks before you have to reapply it. In contrast, ceramic coatings last for anywhere from two to five years depending on the application and the quality.

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

People have shown that they can just rinse off their vehicles after pouring mud on them, and this has been demonstrated time and time again, so I'm not going to tell you how great it is. There are times when people overhype things a little bit. It is my understanding that some detailers and people who promote ceramic coating tend to stretch the truth just a bit because it is so popular. Meaning that there are some common myths about the product and about ceramic coating out there.

First and foremost, it does not eliminate water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although it does help. With the hydrophobic properties that the ceramic coating has, it allows water and water droplets to run off the surface much, much easier, that's why you see it in the videos, which reduces the number of potential water spots. Thanks to the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, water and water droplets easily run off the surface, which is why it appears on the videos, which lowers the chance of water spots appearing. Ceramic coatings don't protect your car from rocks chips and scratches.

In spite of its ability to protect against light scratches, I wouldn't think it is an all-in-one 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.

Ceramic coatings were quite expensive when they first appeared, reaching upwards of $1500 But now you can have your car professionally ceramic coated by the inventors of the stuff itself, for right around $700.

A lot of times when you're going to get a quote for having your car coated, you might need to have your car paint corrected first which is where a lot of that extra cost comes in. That said, if you wanna just get a bottle of the stuff and do it yourself, learn the process, maybe screw it up a few times, that's cool.

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. You and your car need to think it's worth it.

I would recommend protecting those paint jobs if your vehicle is really nice. Invest a couple hundred dollars in getting your car ceramic coated. The coating process is not restricted to just your car. The ceramic coating of wheels, for instance, has become extremely popular. There's so much demand that we've started offering packages as an add-on when you check out. We'll ceramic coat them for you before you head out the door, and it makes cleaning so much easier.

Additionally, people have ceramic coated seats and other interior parts, a bunch of things that they don't like to have to scrub down to really remove all the dirt, so it makes the whole process very easy.

And if that's something that's worth it to you, then by all means, there check here you go. Honestly, the technology of ceramic coating has helped a ton of people and I know a ton of people here have it done to their vehicle because they just absolutely swear by it. The protection you are putting on your car or part of your car needs to be worth it for you.
