The benefits of ceramic coating fall under six main categories. Finish, protection, longevity, usability, applicability, and resale.
-
Finish: The finish of a ceramic coating is highly glossy and provides a slick look that cannot be matched by regular wax.
-
Protection: A ceramic coating will protect the car from physical damage such as scratches, is hydrophobic, chemically resistant, and also provides protection from UV.
-
Longevity: Where your typical car wax will require you to reapply it once every three months, a ceramic coating lasts up to 10 years with proper application.
-
Usability: Where a ceramic coating will require professional application, it can be maintained quite simply by anyone with basic cleaning.
-
Applicability: Where other coatings can only be applied to certain materials, a ceramic coating can be applied to any material. Chrome, aluminum, steel, composites, plastic, glass, you name it. It can protect everything from your average Prius to collectors' classic DeLorean, an enthusiast’s latest Huracán, and basically everything else.
-
Resale: A ceramic coating not only protects the car physically but financially. By applying a ceramic coating, the owner of the said car can help to maintain the value of the car over a longer period. This comes from both the added value of having the coating and the physical protection of the car that helps to maintain the value.
