When applied and cured correctly, a ceramic coating will make any surface it covers incredibly smooth and hard. This encourages road dirt and grime to slide off instead of sticking on, making these surfaces easier to clean and keeping them spotless and shiny for longer. Let\u2019s explore exactly what a ceramic car wash is, how it works and what it can do for your vehicle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f82fe0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f82fe0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Car Coatings: From Enamel to Ceramic<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63b393a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63b393a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the 1930s, car manufacturers started coating their cars with enamel paints to give them a harder finish and a better shine. To protect the enamel and smooth over small imperfections, detailers started using carnauba wax scraped from Brazilian palm trees. This added a temporary soft shell that wore off quickly. In the 1950s, government-funded scientists began mixing different kinds of silicon-based polymers in an effort to find a long-lasting coating that could protect military aircraft from wear. Just like duct tape or microwaves, military tech eventually went civilian, and the ceramic coatings soon found non-military applications in many commercial industries, including the car maintenance market. Today, depending on the brand and quality, most ceramic coatings involve silicon oxide suspended in different kinds of patented resins. Some brands add other compounds like graphene to make their coatings even harder and more durable. When exposed to the air and applied on a surface, the mixture cures into silicon dioxide, which is also the main ingredient in glass. This synthetic blend bonds with your car\u2019s clear coat to create a lacquer-like layer of candy gloss that shines and shields.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7affa89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7affa89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Hard Is a Ceramic Coating?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e31212 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e31212\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you\u2019ve ever taken a pencil art class, you might be familiar with the pencil hardness scale. Pencil makers grade the graphite in their hardest pencils on a scale from 0H-9H. Harder graphite doesn\u2019t rub off as easily, so softer pencils make darker marks. The pencil hardness scale is also used to grade different kinds of cured coatings on how resistant they are to scratches. You can try this yourself by pressing a pencil with a known hardness at a 45-degree angle against the coated surface you want to test. If a 3H pencil leaves no mark but a 4H pencil does, your coating has a hardness rating of 3H. The regular clear coat on most cars usually has a hardness rating somewhere around 2H-4H. Once cured, most ceramic coatings rate between 7H and 9H, giving you anywhere between double and quadruple the protection of your clear coat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96d19c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"96d19c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Gets Coated?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6967df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e6967df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ceramic coatings are generally applied in liquid form, often after a thorough car wash. They only take<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">a few minutes to apply and a few hours of air exposure to finish curing. The semi-permanent bond that emerges from the curing process can last for months. Besides your paint job, ceramic coatings can be applied to almost every other part of your car\u2019s exterior. This includes the wheels, headlights, windshield, windows and other glass surfaces. You can also use ceramic coatings on cloth, leather, or vinyl seats and plastic or other kinds of trim and accessories. Wherever you apply them, you\u2019ll see a glossy armored shell slowly crystallize over the surface as the chemicals cure and fuse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-008960c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"008960c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Kind of Protection Will a Ceramic Coating Provide?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4edd9a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4edd9a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Don\u2019t be fooled by size; a ceramic coating doesn\u2019t need to be thick to be formidable. Like Kevlar, ceramic coating punches above its light weight. Although it won\u2019t take a bullet for you, it\u2019ll easily deflect most would-be scratches and stains and keep your car glowing longer. Your car\u2019s clear coat starts to look dull when tiny particles of everyday street garbage work their way into the paint\u2019s pores. A ceramic coating provides a harder, smoother surface with no tiny pockets where dirt and debris can roost. It also thrives in many extreme weather conditions, including heavy rains and harsh summer sun. Whereas the melting point of regular car wax is around 180 degrees Fahrenheit, a ceramic coating stays bonded up to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8aeaf97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8aeaf97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are a few other tribulations your ceramic coating can smile through:<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Acid rain<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Mud splatters<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Saltwater spray<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Car exhaust buildup<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Discoloration from bug stains and bird droppings<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Fading from constant UV battering<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Water spots<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Oxidation<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Tree sap<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Road salt<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Road tar<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbe2988 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbe2988\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you come into contact with any otherwise harmful chemical substances, they won\u2019t be able to bond with the ceramic coat, so they\u2019ll come off easily.

Once fused to your paint, the coating will last longer than any wax or paint protection film.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The clear ceramic coat will make your car\u2019s surface more reflective and its original color deeper and bolder.
