What a ceramic coating actually does
What it doesn't do: stop rock chips or deep scratches. For that you want paint protection film. Our guide why you need paint protection and ceramic coating explains how the two work together.
- Adds gloss and depth to the paint
- Makes water, dirt and bugs release more easily when you wash
- Helps resist UV fading and chemical etching
- Lasts far longer than wax or sealant
Paint correction comes first
A coating locks in whatever is under it — swirls, haze and scratches included. That's why we inspect the paint under proper lighting and correct it before coating. On a new car that may be a light polish; on an older car it may be a multi-step correction. Details on our paint correction page.
