You’ve probably heard us raving about the wonders of ceramic coatings for protecting your vehicle against the Australian climate but what exactly is it? We’ve put together everything you need to know about ceramic coatings from the perspective of a mobile car detailing expert!
What Are Ceramic Coatings?
If you’ve read the reviews for our ceramic paint protection then you might be thinking we’ve taken up witchcraft! Ceramic coatings are one of our favourite additions to the Australia’s Detailing Group repertoire and it’s easy to see why.
In its basic form ceramic coating is a chemical polymer designed to form micro bonds to your paintwork which makes it hydrophobic. It’s an absolutely brilliant way to prevent external paint damage and it helps to repel dirt from the outside of your car too.
However for us Australians ceramic coatings are so much more than that! The nano-technology used in ceramic coatings that we use in our mobile detailing means that they do not break down in the hot sun. Ceramic coatings are considered to be semi-permanent and are a seriously smart investment for any Australian car owner!
Do Ceramic Coatings Work?
Compared to waxing and polishing or technology like paint protective films, ceramic coatings really do come out on top! In Australia, we are lucky enough to experience a thorough spectrum of weather which we find ceramic paint protection to withstand better than any of its competitors.
Not only that, but if you have a premium paint finish on your vehicle like metallic paint then you’ll really appreciate the added layer of protection in the summer. Ceramic coating helps to give your exterior one extra layer of protection against the sun which helps to minimise fading.
What are the Benefits of Ceramic Coatings?
We’ve already covered a couple of the superb benefits of using ceramic coatings as mobile car detailers but what are the other benefits? Let’s take a look at the full range of benefits you can enjoy should you opt to use ceramic coatings at your next appointment.
Protection from UV rays
Consider ceramic coating to be like a super strong sunblock for your car. You wouldn’t head to the beach without sun cream so why would you let your vehicle go without?
When car detailing in Australia we have definitely found more and more car lovers to be choosing ceramic coatings to protect their vehicles over the summer.
Protection against chemicals
We don’t necessarily mean we expect your car to be pelted with chemicals in the near future. However, things like air pollution or even road salt can all damage your vehicle’s exterior.
Ceramic coatings will help to protect your paintwork from exposure to anything nasty your car might come across on your travels.
Easier to keep clean
Ah, the curse of a rainstorm after a mobile car detailing appointment is pretty much a given which is why so many Australians are choosing ceramic coatings to help maintain that shine just a bit longer.
The hydrophobic qualities of ceramic coatings make it so easy to prevent rain marks and smudges across your vehicle’s exterior. You get to enjoy that freshly detailed shine for a little bit longer.
Are Ceramic Coatings Worth It?
In short yes! Ceramic coatings are definitely a good investment for Australian drivers as they can protect your vehicle from the hot sun and the sea air.
However, ceramic coatings are also a brilliant investment even if you plan to sell your vehicle! Many cars with ceramic coatings end up fetching a higher market price because customers are happy to pay for the premium finish.
Of course, your car will also stand out amongst other vehicles in its listing as it will have a glossy, candy-like finish that’ll make it look so much better than its competitors.
