In this blog post, we go over some common questions we get about ceramic coatings and the different types of brands.
Ceramic coating is a nanolayer that is designed to cover and protect the outside of your vehicle.
A ceramic coating will provide you with better protection than a sealant or wax while enhancing the gloss and keeping your car cleaner longer. They have stronger acid resistance compared to waxes or sealants and last years versus months.
Ceramic coatings work great for a few reasons: they have nanoparticles that are able to work into the pores of the clear coat and cross link with the paint. Infusing quartz or ceramic into the paint increases the slickness of the coating and improves resistance to chemical etching.
Is Ceramic Pro Coating Worth the Cost?
In most cases, putting on a Ceramic Pro Coat on your vehicle is absolutely worth the price. It provides great protection against contaminants and minor swirls, all while making the vehicle much easier to clean. However, ceramic coatings isn’t for every car or owner. It really comes down to how you use and care for your car.
Does Ceramic Coating Prevent Swirls?
Light swirl marks can be minimized with a high-quality ceramic coating. A coating can certainly help to prevent deeper swirl marks, but won't prevent them from happening in the first place. The coating hardens the paint but does not make it swirl resistant. Once applied, the ceramic coating serves as a barrier between the paintwork and any grime, dust or dirt that could scratch your vehicle.
What are the Disadvantages of Ceramic Pro Coating?
Ceramic Pro coating is a great service that will protect the exterior of your car, but there are a few disadvantages as well that you should be aware of:
(1) The application procedure takes time. The application of a ceramic coat is not a simple process. It can be up to a 3-day procedure as the coat takes time to dry properly. Hence you need to patient in order to get your car ready for a fresh coat.
(2) It should be done by professionals only. If you try to do it, it might end up spoiling the surface of the car and looking terrible. Contact us today if you’d like to book an appointment.
(3) It can be costly to coat the car with a ceramic coat. As the liquids are of the highest form of protection that can be offered, they come in at a premium.
What Should You Not Do After Ceramic Coating?
Never use aggressive products to polish the coating to remove surface contamination. Don’t use excessive force to remove spots such as bird droppings, tar, tree sap, and other contaminants.
Does Ceramic Coating Wear Off?
The coating is permantly bonded to the surface it’s applied to. Physical abrasion will wear it off such as brush washing, polishing, any aggressive wiping with improper towels or materials, and can damage the coating.

How Do You Maintain GTechniq Coating?
One of the recommend brands we use is GTechniq G-Wash shampoo for cleaning your car. Never apply detergents directly to bodywork or your microfibre wash sponge and never use a real leather chamois for drying; these are too harsh for modern paints and will easily scratch the surface.
