6 Benefits of Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coating application to cars is pretty expensive, and that’s what mostly repels people. However, after seeing all the benefits of ceramic coatings, people are more likely to pay more to protect their car’s paint. Today, we’re bringing you the six best benefits of ceramic coatings for your vehicle. 

There are far more benefits of ceramic coatings than we will mention in this article, but these are the most important ones that highly separate ceramic coatings from other types of paint protectants.

Without further ado, let’s see these benefits.

1. Ceramic Coatings Last Longer Than Waxes and Sealants

Typically, car waxes last only up to 6 months, and that’s only if they’re high-quality ones. On the other hand, car paint sealants may last up to 12 months (1 year) if you apply them properly and maintain your vehicle regularly with the right products.

Most ceramic coatings tend to last anywhere from 3 to 5 years, with some manufacturers claiming that their ceramic coating’s longevity is even up to 9 years after the application. So, as you can see, ceramic coatings last at least 3x more than waxes and sealants, but that number is usually much higher. 

If you don’t want to apply for paint protection every few months, ceramic coating is the right choice for you. 

2. It’s Easier To Keep Your Car Clean

Ceramic coatings make your car’s paint slick and hydrophobic, thus preventing dirt, dust, bugs, and other contaminants from sticking hard to the paint. Because of that, keeping your car clean is much easier when you apply a high-quality ceramic coating to the clear coat. 

For instance, bugs are usually pretty hard to remove from the paint, even when using the best bug and tar removers. But if you have a ceramic coating applied, then it’s much easier, and you’ll remove them in no time, even if you let them dry on the paint (which we still don’t recommend doing). 

3. Fantastic Protection Against Heat and UV Rays

Ceramic coatings add an additional layer over the car’s clear coat, which is extremely thin but very hard. The hardiness and reflection properties help ceramic coatings prevent the car’s paint from heat and harmful UV rays from the sun. 

Preventing damage from heat and UV rays is extremely important for people living in warmer climates, and we highly suggest you think about ceramic coating applications if you belong to this category of car owners.

4. Preventing Minor Swirl Marks and Scratches

Even though car waxes and sealants also offer a bit of protection against swirl marks and scratches, they can’t be compared to ceramic coatings. Ceramic coatings offer much better paint protection regarding light swirl marks and scratches. 

Of course, you can’t expect these products to protect the paint from large rocks or dog paws, but some light rocks on the road, salt, branches, and other smaller contaminants shouldn’t be able to break that layer of ceramic coating. 

5. Enhancing The Paint’s Shine and Gloss

When the car’s paint is perfectly smooth and clean, it’s usually very shiny. However, clear coats quickly become dirty and not so smooth, making the car look less shiny than before. Luckily, since ceramic coatings give your car an extreme smoothness, they’ll largely improve the gloss and the shine of the clear coat.

That’s especially important for black cars, which usually have the highest gloss and shine, but they also show all the imperfections. So, protecting them will ensure that your car looks fantastic all the time. 

6. Can Be Used On Paint, Wheels, Headlights, Interior…

Mostly, people only talk about ceramic coatings for the vehicle’s paint. Luckily, the industry is progressing fast, and nowadays, you can find ceramic coatings specifically designed to protect the following:

  • Car paint
  • Wheels and exhausts
  • Headlights and windows
  • Plastics
  • Leather
  • And more…

As you can see, ceramic coatings are extremely versatile, making them the ultimate car protection products, regardless of what part of the vehicle you’d like to protect. My personal favorites are painting ceramic coatings, headlight coatings, and leather coatings which I like to apply to leather seats in my vehicle. 

Bottom Line

As you can see, ceramic coatings for cars have plenty of benefits, and with time, we think that those benefits will only improve, making these coatings an even better choice for you. Furthermore, we hope that the price of ceramic coating applications will also decrease a bit, so they’ll be more affordable to people worldwide.
