Ceramic Coating Preparation for Your Vehicle - Clay Sponge

When it comes down to overall quality and appearance of your vehicle, preserving the paint on it is a time-consuming and, at times, quite expensive procedure. Nevertheless, keeping the paint on your car is extremely important. Many detailing supplies have hit the marketplace over the past few decades that claim to help keep the paint of your vehicle in good condition, and some are claiming to be the greatest.

Then 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 are going to go over ceramic coatings and if they are well worth the investment. It's not a mystery that ceramic coatings have skyrocketed in popularity within the last ten years, and they guarantee to offer among the best paint protection you could apply to your car.

There are almost always offers for it, from your neighborhood detailing store to car social media content creators, to practically everywhere else. People swear by it. People get turned off by the cost the first time they look at it. First let's figure out what ceramic coating is. It's also called a nano coating, and silicon dioxide, or silicon carbide, is the main ingredient.

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

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 dominated the paint protection and auto detailing industries. It used to be that when old horse carriages needed a good shine, they used animal fats. But that quickly changed, thankfully, into more cruelty-free solutions using plant-based products. As early as the 1900s, different waxes were used to detail vehicles and give them that shiny, glamorous appearance that 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) make a line of products created with nano-ceramic technology. Due to this, everything changed. But like, why?

How did this new product change the game? What were the key differences between car wax and ceramic coatings, and why did ceramic coatings 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. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, can last anywhere from two to five years, depending on the application and product quality.

In addition, ceramic paint protects better against UV rays and other things that harm your paint.

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. Many times people overhype things a little bit. And what I mean by that is that, because ceramic coating has become so popular, some website detailers and people who promote ceramic coating like to stretch the truth just a tad. Meaning that there are some common myths about the product and about ceramic coating out there.

It does not eliminate or prevent water spots. Unfortunately, that'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. 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. Number two, a ceramic coating will not prevent rock chips and scratches.

Even though it may protect against light scratches here and there, I wouldn't really rely on it too much. Always combine it with some common sense. If something like that happens, maybe you should invest in some protective film or Clear Bra. The third thing is that it's really not that expensive.

When ceramic coatings first came out, it cost nearly $1500 to have them done. An expert detailer can now professionally ceramic coat your car for right around $700.

In most cases, when you receive a quote to have your car coated, you might have to have your car's paint corrected first. This is where the extra cost comes from. 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.

Everything costs more when it's new, and eventually that price goes down, that's just how things are. Getting your car ceramic coated is a lot of work, so you'll have to pay someone to do it for you. In the end, you have to decide if it is worth it for you and your vehicle.

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. It is not only your car that can be coated. Ceramic coatings for your wheels for instance, is extremely popular. Having this done is so popular that we have started offering packages as an add-on when you're checking out.

If you think that's something worth it to you, then go for it. Ceramic coating technology has helped lots of people; many of the people here have it applied to their vehicles because they swear by it. You've got to think about it from all sides, and it's gotta be worth it for you to be protecting your car or part of your car with it.

This is an investment, so it is best to protect it. So let us know your thoughts on ceramic coating down below and whether or not you've had it done to any of your cars or your wheels or seats, cause that's a thing apparently.
