4 Main Benefits of Ceramic Coatings
Water Repellency
The increase in the water contact angle from 65° to 110° results in improved ease of cleaning and enhanced dirt repellency, effectively preserving your car's cleanliness for an extended duration.
Gloss Enhancement
Ceramic coating's gloss enhancement operates through a dual mechanism: it refines the paint on a microscopic level and forms a high-reflective index coating for an enhanced shine.
Chemical Resistance
Ceramic coating boosts paint's ability to resist chemicals in two ways: it makes the paint less porous and forms a protective layer that resists bird droppings, tree sap, and bug splatter.
Scratching Resistance
Ceramic coatings safeguard not just automotive surfaces but also various engineered surfaces that face tough conditions. They offer vital scratch and abrasion resistance in demanding applications.
Disclaimer
We refer to "ceramic coating" as a shortened way to describe our services as CeramicFX using CARPRO CQUARTZ and DQUARTZ protective coatings. Please note that the claims we make on this site are specific to the installations we perform and the products we use. Most ceramic coatings on the market do not offer comparable performance and durability. Our commitment is to deliver excellence with the products we trust, ensuring exceptional results for our customers.
Side Benefits of Ceramic Coating
Apart from the core perks of ceramic coatings, including their ability to repel water, enhance gloss, resist chemicals, and protect against scratches, four additional benefits add extra value to your paint.
Dirt Repellency
Ceramic coatings enhance the dirt-repellency of surfaces they are applied to, be it paint, leather, or wheels.
Ease of Cleaning
A ceramic-coated surface effectively repels water thanks to its hydrophobic properties, making the hand car wash process easier.
Paint Slickness
Ceramic coating boosts paint slickness, resulting in a smoother finish and a more effortless car wash.
UV Resistance
Ceramic coating protects the surfaces against UV rays, helping preserve the appearance of your vehicle's surfaces over time.
We employ the industry's best practices in ceramic coating installations
At CeramicFX, we take pride in being an accredited CARPRO CQUARTZ Finest installer, further elevating our commitment to delivering top-notch ceramic coating services that enhance and protect your vehicle's finish. Our process ensures the best results possible with ceramic coatings, and we'd like to guide you through the steps of our professional ceramic coating application.
1. Car Wash: We initiate the process by conducting a comprehensive wash of your vehicle using a pH-neutral soap, CARPRO Reset. In cases where mineral deposits are present on both the paint and glass surfaces, we employ CARPRO Descale—an acidic shampoo specifically designed to eliminate or minimize water spots. This crucial step effectively removes road grime, traffic film, loose dirt, and more.
2. Paint Inspection: After washing your vehicle, we conduct a detailed inspection of the paint surface. This involves identifying the surface-bonded contaminants, which can be difficult to see without close inspection, and determining the extent of paint correction required. We also take note of any repainted panels or existing coatings.
Ceramic Coatings Add Value to Almost All Types of Automotive Surfaces
Ceramic coatings elevate the surface characteristics of most automotive surfaces, including paint, windows, wheels, leather, and plastics. Notably, body paint experiences the most pronounced and valuable enhancement among these surfaces.
