Ceramic Coating: An overpriced wax or a worthy investment?

Nothing quite presents a car like clean paint does-regardless of your knowledge and appreciation for cars, everyone can recognize something that is well-kept. Once a brand new car leaves the lot nothing is in favour of keeping that showroom paint looking like it did on day one: wash mits, microfibres, snow, mud, and even simply dusting your vehicle off will quickly leave noticeable traces of neglect all along your paintwork. If your vehicle is not brand new, your paint has been neglected. Good news.. with a keen eye for detail and the right techniques you can bring that paint back to near showroom condition and keep it that way, a process known as paint correction and more importantly, ceramic coating.

Ceramic coating is a chemical compound that can be applied to the surface of your vehicles paint in order to create a seal. The silica compound creates a bond with your paint, making it non-porous, providing hydrophobic properties. Very simply, ceramic coating creates a glass-like protective layer over your paints surface, making it extremely slick and easy to keep clean. Ceramic coating goes hand in hand with paint correction as it seals in your paints condition. By pairing the two together, you can have your neglected paint back to its best possible condition with the protection needed to keep it that way.

Now although you can have one without the other, there is much more value pairing them together! Freshly corrected paint will once again show neglect in no time without being sealed, and ceramic coating  bonds best with a smooth, damage-free paint surface. Done correctly, you are investing in a service that tops any amount of car washes and detailing product money can buy. Some may swear by wax, which gives your car a very similar finish however ceramic gives you the protection for years rather than a few measly weeks, where you will be left back at square one… If you want your car to look new again and stay that way for years to come, a ceramic coating and paint correction is the most valuable investment for your vehicle!
