What is Ceramic Coating for cars?

Ceramic coating for cars is the process of applying a liquid polymer composed of nano-ceramic particles, that is then applied to the exterior surface of a vehicle. It forms a protective layer that enhances the vehicle's gloss and provides long-lasting resistance to environmental elements, such as UV rays, bird droppings, and other contaminants. The coating creates a hydrophobic surface, repelling water and making it easier to clean and maintain the car's appearance.

How do Ceramic Coatings work?

The nano-ceramic particles in the coating bond with the surface of the vehicle, creating a strong and durable layer that acts as a barrier against various contaminants. These particles fill in microscopic pores and imperfections in the surface, providing a smoother and more uniform finish that reflects light and enhances the vehicle's shine. The hydrophobic nature of the ceramic coating is due to the repelling effect of the bonded nanoparticles, preventing water and other liquids from adhering to the surface and causing damage or stains.

What Makes Ceramic Coating Services the Popular Choice

If you care about the paintwork on your car -and let’s face it, it’s a huge part of the vehicle’s appearance – you can keep washing and polishing it. But are you protecting it? That is a different thing altogether. It’s a good habit to have, but soapy water and store-bought wax polish don’t provide much protection. As for automatic car washes where plastic strips thrash your paint: whoever came up with that didn’t really think it through. That’s like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut when you don’t actually want it cracked anyway. Read More

With the climate around here, ceramic paint protection is what you need to keep that hard, colored skin in tip-top condition. The ceramic coating Tucson needs is a long-lasting protection applied by experts. As with so many things in life, the explanation is more complex than the process itself, so prepare for a little jargon: we’re talking about a liquid polymer composed of nano-ceramic particles that bond with the paint to form a tough, durable surface. A polymer is a chemical compound – and a compound is a combination of two or more ingredients. So, it’s a substance created by this combination, and the nano part just means tiny, so these microscopic particles can get into the equally small nooks and crannies that exist in paintwork, creating the protective layer.

Regular treatment with a vehicle ceramic coating is really the way forward.

In Tucson, Ceramic Coating is Essential

Let’s get this straight: vehicle ceramic coating is essential if you want to keep your paintwork in good condition, looking great, and protecting what’s underneath. If people are not concerned about how their car looks, that’s up to them. And it is only people who care. Birds don’t even think what they are doing when they drop their excrement on your precious bodywork. The sun beats down and - meaning no offense - gradually compromises your colors. The desert’s dry, unthinking dust gets everywhere, and we just have to live with it as best we can. It’s not just stone particles, either. Who knows what debris is also in that airborne debris? Trees drop corrosive sap. As we drive around the road throws up gravel and whatever else is lying around.

And then there is the rain. A good ceramic coating service creates a “hydrophobic” surface, which repels water.

It's a natural assault that’s going on all the time, and we can choose to accept it, or we can do something to protect our investment. We at Cool Auto Detail help you to do the latter and keep your car in a pristine condition at all times with our range of comprehensive detailing services including ceramic coating, paint correction, and more.

"The work done by Cool Auto was tremendous and the vehicle end up looking better than new, without the need to paint the car again. They recommended applying a ceramic coating, I hesitated a little but we end up doing it. To this day, my car is still sparkling clean and I do not regret the application of the ceramic coating."

'What a well-run shop. I was skeptical when the owner, Cassandra, told me the paint on my new Toyota Crown could look better but after her shop did a ceramic coating it does. Now the color just pops, and the wheels are eye catching. She is knowledgeable, personable, and provides a quality product. I would recommend Cool Auto for any level of auto detailing, and I plan to return next year for a “refresh.”'

How it works

Our Ceramic Coating Process

Preparation
Before applying the ceramic coating, the vehicle's paintwork needs to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared.
Evaluation & Paint Correction
If necessary, a paint correction process may be performed before applying the ceramic coating to remove swirl marks, scratches, and other imperfections.
Application
The ceramic coating is applied to the paintwork in a controlled environment. The detailer works in small sections to ensure thorough coverage and avoid any missed spots.
Curing
After applying the ceramic coating, a curing or bonding process takes place. The coating needs time to chemically bond with the paintwork, creating a durable protective layer.
Post Curing & Inspection
Once the coating has fully cured, a post-curing process may be performed to ensure the coating is properly settled and any excess residue is removed.

Still Have Some Questions?

Have a ceramic coating question you don't see listed here? Please send us a message and we'd be happy to answer!
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?

Ceramic coating provides a level of scratch resistance, but it is important to understand that it is not scratch-proof. The ceramic coating creates a protective layer that can help to resist light scratches and swirl marks from day-to-day use, but it won't completely prevent all scratches or damage.

Deeper or more abrasive scratches can still occur if there is a significant force or impact on the coated surface. The coating primarily offers a sacrificial layer, taking the brunt of minor abrasions to preserve the underlying paint. For optimal scratch protection, it's essential to maintain regular care, avoid harsh conditions, and exercise caution during car maintenance or other activities that could potentially scratch the coating.

How long does ceramic coating a car take?

The time required to apply ceramic coating can vary depending on factors such as the size of the vehicle and the complexity of the application. Generally, it can take a few hours to a full day to complete the ceramic coating process on a car.

What does ceramic coating an interior do?

Ceramic coating for the interior of a car is typically associated with protective coatings designed for surfaces such as leather, fabric, plastic, and other interior materials.

How often do I have to get my car re-coated?

The frequency of re-coating your car with ceramic coating depends on several factors, including the type and quality of the coating applied, driving conditions, maintenance practices, and environmental factors. In general, ceramic coatings are known for their durability and longevity compared to traditional wax or sealant products.
