CERAMIC COATING
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a protective layer applied to your vehicle’s exterior that forms a strong, durable shield. Made from liquid polymers, the coating bonds with the vehicle’s paint, creating a semi-permanent or permanent barrier. Unlike waxes or sealants, ceramic coatings last much longer and offer superior protection.
What are the benefits of ceramic coatings?
Long-Lasting Protection: Unlike traditional wax, which wears off after a few weeks or months, ceramic coatings can last years, depending on care and environmental factors.
Superior Shine and Gloss: Ceramic coatings enhance the natural shine of your vehicle’s paint, giving it a deep, glossy finish that makes the color pop.
Scratch Resistance: While not 100% scratch-proof, ceramic coatings add a layer of hardness. Typical factory clear coat hardness is between 2-4H. Ceramic coatings can increase this over 9H, thus making your vehicle more resistant to minor scratches and swirls caused by daily driving.
UV Protection: The coating protects your car’s paint from the sun’s harmful UV rays, preventing oxidation and fading.
Hydrophobic Properties: Ceramic coatings repel water, dirt, and contaminants, making your car easier to clean. Water beads and rolls off, taking dirt with it, which helps maintain a clean surface longer.
Chemical Resistance: It offers protection from harsh chemicals, bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants that can damage your paint.
Cost-Effective in the Long Run: With fewer trips to the car wash and less need for polishing or waxing, ceramic coating can save you time and money in maintaining your vehicle’s appearance.
What can be ceramic coated?
Ceramic coating is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and even aircraft. Substrates such as clear coated paint and wheels, glass, and plastic trim are all great candidates for being ceramic coated. Whether you're a casual driver or an avid enthusiast, investing in ceramic coating ensures your vehicle maintains its pristine appearance and durability in the face of various driving conditions.
What type of Coating is used?
KC Carsmetology utilizes professional grade, high solids, ceramic coatings, not available to the general consumer. These high solid coatings at 99.9% pure SiO2 offer superior chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties giving 5+ years of protection. An extensive verification process was completed to verify proper preparation and application.
