Lately, several products have showed up in the marketplace that claim to be the very best and that will protect the paint on your car.

Ceramic coating has truly been at the forefront of all this in the last 10 years or so. We will go over ceramic coatings and if they are worth every penny.

This product is liquid, so it could be applied to a vehicle and adhere to the finish of the car.

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. Waxes dominated the paint protection and auto detailing world for a long, long time. 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. As early as the 1900s, different waxes were used to detail vehicles and give them that shiny, glamorous appearance that their owners desired.

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.

Meaning that there are some common myths about the product and about ceramic coating out there.

It does not completely eliminate water spots. I'm sorry, it's the truth, although it does help. Because of the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, water and water droplets will run off the surface much faster, that is why you see it so clearly in the videos, so that water spots are reduced. But if you let those drops or spots dry on the surface, you're gonna get the water spots, that's just how it goes. Ceramic coatings don't protect against rock chips or scratches.

The solution may protect against some light scratches here and there, but I wouldn't say it is scratch-proof. Think about getting some protective film or a Clear Bra for something like that. Finally, it's not costly as you might think.
