Ceramic Coatings In the GTA
Providing your car with a durable coating that improves gloss and resistance against contamination, bug guts, bird droppings, and UV radiation
What is a ceramic coating?
To better understand the benefits of a ceramic coating it is beneficial to understand what wax and sealants are.
A wax is polymer based and meant to add both shine and protection to your vehicle. The problem being… it doesn’t last and requires constant reapplication every couple weeks.
A sealant is synthetic and lasts a few months however is not comparable to the level of shine a wax can provide.
Ceramic coatings are silica based that can last years, provide unmatched protection, and provide shine like that of a wax. It does not need to be reapplied like your traditional wax but only maintained.
How do you know if a ceramic coating is for you?
A ceramic coating is for anyone who wants:
Unmatched Shine – Provides shine that rivals waxes
Semi Permanent – No need to constantly reapply
Durable Protection – The most durable protection you can apply
Effortless Maintenance – Due to hydrophobic properties of the coating dirt has trouble sticking to the paint
