Ceramic coating can give your car a showroom-like finish.
Ceramic coating and paint protection film are two popular solutions that our team at Tint by Tate offers our Rockledge, Florida area customers. Both offer protection and other benefits for your vehicle, but how they’re applied differs. For instance, ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with factory paint when applied to a vehicle’s exterior. This method produces a long-lasting, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and other pollutants. Some of the benefits it offers are detailed further below.
When you contact our team about what protection services we offer for automobiles, we’ll likely review both ceramic coating and paint protection, so you’re fully aware of your options. This allows you the chance to make an informed decision. Regarding ceramic coating, however, you’ll find that its benefits make it a strong contender when choosing how you’ll protect your car’s finish. For example, ceramic coatings offer a strong barrier against environmental elements, which helps to retain your car’s finish and can greatly increase the paint’s lifespan. Additionally, because of its hydrophobic properties, which were mentioned above, ceramic coating makes washing your car easier. Water and grime glide off more readily, decreasing the number of washes and the work necessary to keep your vehicle clean.
Of course, you’ll also enjoy the improved appearance ceramic coating offers. Because of the way it is applied, it improves the depth and clarity of the paint, resulting in a glossy, showroom-quality finish that lasts longer than standard wax.

Hidden
Are ceramic coatings permanent?
No, ceramic coatings are not permanent but rather semi-permanent. They chemically bond to the paint, so they can’t be easily removed. However, ceramic coatings will wear out after several years and require replacement for you to retain the benefits they provide.
Do I need to wax my car if it has a ceramic coating?
Generally, you don’t need to wax your car if it has a ceramic coating. A ceramic coating can provide superior protection and shine. Waxing a car that has a ceramic coating would actually interfere with the coating’s ability to do what it is designed for.
What is the aftercare for a ceramic coating like?
Immediately after installation, it’s important to keep your vehicle out of water and away from dirt for at least 72 hours. It will take a few weeks for the ceramic coating to fully cure, depending on the temperature and humidity outside, and you should wait about a week before washing the vehicle. When you do wash it, do it by hand and use a pH-neutral cleaning solution and soft, microfiber cloth.
