While a ceramic coating is much harder and stronger than an uncoated factory clearcoat, it is not bulletproof.  The coating itself can still be scratched, and improper maintenance and wash methods can lead to marring/dulling of the finish over time (automatic carwashes).On top of the added durability, the coating resists picking up scratches by reducing the necessary “touches” on the vehicle, as well as the impact of each “touch”.  This is where the benefit of “less washing and easier washing” comes into play.  No matter how soft the touch or towel, on a microscopic level each one inflicts some sort of “damage”.Proper maintenance is key for your ceramic coating to perform to its maximum potential.

Even with all the benefits a ceramic coating provides, it still requires maintenance like everything else.  We provide a care guide that outlines all of the specifics but it simply boils down to periodic washing and silica refreshment every 4-6 months, or at a minimum once per year.The silica strengthens and reinforces the ceramic itself and refreshes the performance of the coating as well as the hydrophobic properties.  This process is super simple to do, takes about 15 minutes, and you are on your way.  (We provide silica spray if you are someone who likes to hand wash your vehicles yourself)As far as wash intervals, it really depends on your use and storage environment, but generally speaking the necessary intervals will be quite a bit longer than if your vehicle’s paint is not ceramic coated.Proper maintenance is how your ceramic coating can be performing years down the road just like the day after you got it.

Dealerships and novice detailers are unfortunately taking advantage of the hype without having the proper knowledge and experience on what they are selling.Dealerships specifically play the volume game with big claims and make money off of the financing on the backend, so it makes sense for them to play the odds that people won’t care enough and take the time down the road, once the initial excitement wears off.Preparation is absolutely crucial to your ceramic coating living up to it’s claim and performing to it’s maximum capabilities.  Both dealerships and inexperienced installers also are not taking the time and care in their properly prepare your vehicles surface to apply the ceramic.  This leads to coating over top of contaminants and imperfections that can damage the surface over time, with products that are nowhere near a professional grade coating. Trust a professional, certified installer to apply your ceramic coating.  Even if it is not us specifically, you will thank yourself later.

Yes, not all coatings are the same.  There are factors within the chemical makeup of the coating that directly affect it’s performance capabilities.First of all, there is the obvious consumer grade products (that usually last 6 months to a year max) vs. professional grade ceramics.Even within the professional grade category, there are factors that affect the overall properties, durability, and longevity.  For example, our traditional ceramic is a quartz-based coating that lasts 5 years and provides a hardness rating of 9H.  Whereas when the graphene element is added in, the coating not only last 2 years longer and jumps up to a 10H rating on the hardness scale but is going to have a lower contact angle which affects the friction components.  This naturally makes the graphene slightly more hydrophobic and resistant to water spotting over the long term.
