Ceramic coatings are liquid polymers that are applied to the exterior of a car. Ceramic coatings bond to car paint to help protect against damage from graffiti, salt, rock chips, weathering, and scratches. At Double L Motors, we offer ceramic coatings to our clients looking for some extra protection for their used cars in Calgary.
What do Ceramic Coatings do?
Ceramic coatings allow you to add another layer of protection to your car’s paint so that you can keep your car looking brand new. Ceramic coatings have hydrophobic properties that repel contaminants and make the surface of your car easier to clean.
Benefits of Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings are an excellent way to protect your car, and they come with a multitude of benefits, such as:
UV damage protection: Car paint can become oxidized due to the UV rays from the sun. While applying wax regularly can help protect against this, ceramic coating is the best at preventing UV damage.
Protection from chemical stains: Taking your car for a drive daily means that it will be covered by many outside chemicals every day. While you can’t control what will happen to your car, you can protect it from harsh chemicals. With ceramic coating, you can protect your car paint from damage.
Enhance the shine of your car: Everyone wants their car to look shiny and new. The best way to maintain this look is by getting ceramic coatings to help your paint pop with an extra shine.
Easy detailing: Because ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, they repel water and other liquids. When a liquid lands on your ceramic coating, it will bead and slide off quickly. Any other contaminants such as mud, grime, and dirt will have a tough time bonding to the surface of your car and make detailing easy.
What Ceramic Coatings Can’t Do
While ceramic coatings are excellent at protecting and adding value to your car, and while they make cleaning easier, they cannot protect against everything, such as:
Deep scratches: Although ceramic coatings can protect against small scratches, they cannot protect against deep scratches. Parking lot scuffs and rock chips will still cause damage to your car even if you have a ceramic coating.
Water spots: When water is left to sit on your car, it can leave behind marks on your paint. While ceramic coatings most often cause water to bead and slide off due to their hydrophobic properties, not all the droplets will slide off, and occasionally you will still notice some water spots on your car.
Car washing: A lot of people believe that getting a ceramic coating will prevent the need to wash your car, and as previously stated, the ceramic coating will help keep your car looking fresh; however, it will still require maintenance and regular car washes.
