Whether or not you get ceramic coating for your new car depends mostly on who you are and what you want out of it.
Most automobile owners, especially those with mid-range and standard cars, don't think ceramic coatings are necessary because they're costly.
If you want your car's paint to stay as perfect as it was when it left the factory—glossy and free of scratches—ceramic coating application is one of the best ways to get the look you want on the outside.
This article talks about the benefits and reasons why a new car should have a ceramic paint coating.
Ceramic Paint Coatings: What Are They?
A ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution applied to a vehicle’s exterior, acting as a sacrificial layer and protecting the external paint from rock chips, swirl marks, and other blemishes.
Ceramic coatings are usually put on by hand, and they blend in with the car's paint to make a layer that repels water.
Ceramic coatings are silicon oxide (SiO2) based, unlike conventional coatings, which typically comprise polymer resins. Silica and other things, like water and titanium dioxide, come together to make a clear, tough coating on the surface of the car.
Once the solution cures atop a painted surface, the viscous liquid forms a clear shell layer, a product called nano ceramic coating.
Should You Protect Your New Car with Ceramic Coating?
Yes. Ceramic coating your car immediately after purchase is a rewarding investment, saving you the cost of paint correction and, possibly, prep work, as clean, debris-free surfaces deliver the best results.
The coating creates an additional protective layer for your car’s exterior while keeping it as glossy as possible with relatively minimal maintenance.
While there are many types of ceramic coating and installation options, including purchasing a DIY ceramic coating kit, we recommend visiting a professional for a high-class and satisfying service.
Benefits of Applying Nano Ceramic Coating on Your New Car
It Protects the Original Paint
Your vehicle interacts with road debris and contaminants every time you drive, subjecting the paint to potential damage.
The ceramic coating offers a reliable protective surface on your car’s exterior, preventing foreign matter from degrading your paint’s integrity.
Additionally, this layer of protection shields your vehicle from harmful UV rays that can cause oxidation and corrosion.
Improved Appearance and Ease of Cleaning
Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. This excellent feature makes cleaning the car less stressful, as dirt and debris slip off with a gentle wipe or quick rinse.
Upon cleaning, the coating will again reveal the properties of your car’s paint, improving the depth and clarity of your paint job.
Cost-Effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness is one of the significant benefits of ceramic coating. While this product may seem expensive, you’ll later realize it costs less, as you won’t have to constantly spend on waxing, car washes, and other exterior detailing services.
Ceramic Coating FAQs
Can I DIY Ceramic Coating?
If you want to cut costs, you can go the DIY route with ceramic coating. Coating your car isn’t necessarily challenging, but it’s time-consuming and requires patience, skill, and dedication. If you successfully pull it off, you’ll save on hiring experts.
Keep in mind that going DIY can go sideways, costing you more, as professionals will have to remove the existing ceramic coating before applying another.
Can I Use Ceramic Spray Coating on My Car?
This product is ideal for DIYers especially, making it easy to polish your car’s surface from the comfort of your garage.
Most people, including professional detailers, prefer spray coating as they’re easy to use and give lasting effects.
You can use the spray alone or combine it with another coating, and many opt for the latter, as it offers impressive results. Get in touch with Power Clean Luxury Detailing for high-quality ceramic coating.
What About the Manufacturer’s Warranty?
A commonly asked question is whether applying ceramic coating on a car’s paint voids the vehicle’s warranty. The answer depends on the following:
- The type of coating used
- The manufacturer’s paint warranty terms
Ideally, a professional-grade ceramic coating is unlikely to void the manufacturer’s warranty: another reason to hire a professional auto detailer for this service.
