What is a Ceramic Coating?
Detailers we're tempted to get into the nitty-gritty of what Ceramic Coating is and why it's the 9th wonder of our Lubbock Texas auto detailing business. But It's like a thick winter coat you put on your kids before they go sledding. It's a hyper-durable, extremely hard layer of silicon dioxide ( glass ). That cures to your vehicle's paint, glass, and other surfaces. Not only do ceramic coatings give a rich glossy appearance. The 3 and 5 plus years depending on the coating you choose. Ceramic coatings have 2 jobs.
Long-term paid protection.
Beautiful gloss and shine and we mean beautiful !!!
How Does a Ceramic Coatings Work?
After the ceramic coating is applied to the paint. It is as if your vehicle has an extra layer of ultra-durable scratch-resistant and hydrophobic skin. Ceramics are designed to protect against everything that touches the paint from the outside world bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches, and much more!! While normal auto detailing services can help clean and protect the paint temporarily. Ceramic coating forms a sort of shield that protect your investment until the day it's traded-in. This means more money in your pocket!! Washing and maintaining your car is inconvenient and tiresome. So after we spend $50,000 on a vehicle we slowly watch it degrade more and more over time because we just don't want to keep up with it. We think it's crazy to pay thousands of dollars for a car, drive it unprotected, and traded it in for pennies later. After the paint has been completely cleaned and decontaminated and we've created a smooth surface through paint correction. A thin layer of the liquid ceramic coating is applied to the paint left to cure then carefully buffed off until all that remains is a thin ceramic layer that is left for 24 hours in order to cure. It's that simple.
