CERAMIC COATINGS IN KILLEEN
What is a ceramic coating?
A professional-grade ceramic coating Is a clear layer or shell that chemically bonds at a molecular level with the surface that it’s applied to. Ceramic coatings are made up of SI02 silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide and often infused with graphene oxide nanoplatelets.Â
The ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent bond with the surface it’s applied to meaning it won’t wash away or break down over a short period of time like a traditional wax. It would need to be removed by wet sanding it off. Coatings can last several years with proper care and maintenance. Remember it’s essentially a hard shell that bonds at a molecular level to your clear coat or the surface that it’s applied to. The prepping process is very important in order for the coating to attach properly to the surface it’s applied to, which is why you should always choose a certified professional to install a ceramic coating for you.
Every cars surface Is made up of primer, base coat (paint) and clear coat. A professional grade ceramic coating goes over top of the clear coat and bonds to provide a long lasting, nano ceramic, flexible shell on the surface it’s applied to. Ceramic coatings are widely used in the defense, aerospace, automotive and marine industries for the ultimate protection.
A professional grade ceramic coating provides an extremely hydrophobic, durable, gossy, slick protection to help against ultraviolet rays, scratches, bird droppings, mineral deposits, micro-marring, brake dust, rust, acid rain, road grime, salt, tar, tree sap, insect acid and not to forget.. washing your car becomes SO much easier!! The grime comes off easily!!!. However, The coating is not bulletproof; it can get damaged in certain conditions. But at this time it’s the ultimate protection for any surface that it’s applied to. It is most often applied to paint/clear coat, rims, glass, interior and other surfaces in automotive applications.
What are the benefits of ceramic coating?
/01Enhanced Appearance
Ceramic coatings can give your vehicle a glossy, slick finish that is more resistant to dirt, grime, and other contaminants.
/02Improved Durability
Ceramic coatings are much more durable than traditional waxes or sealants, and can last for several years with proper maintenance. Paint protection film in Georgetown/ Round Rock/ North Austin is going to provide the maximum protection, however.
/03Easy To Clean
Ceramic coatings make it easier to clean your vehicle, as they create a smooth, non-porous surface that is resistant to dirt, grime, and other contaminants.
/04UV Protection
Ceramic coatings can protect against UV radiation’s damaging effects, helping to prevent fading and discoloration of your vehicle’s paint.
/05Increased Resale Value
A well-maintained vehicle with a ceramic coating is likely to command a higher price when it is sold, as it will be in better condition than a vehicle without a ceramic coating.
Should I wash my car with a ceramic coating?
Another reminder.. you still need to regularly wash and dry your car!!! Just because it has a ceramic coating does not mean you don’t wash it!!! Maintenance is important!! I always refer it to when a lady gets her nails done there’s maintenance involved. You have to keep getting the nail filled to have it look nice or if you get your hair dyed you need to continuously keep up on your roots to make it look good!!! It’s the same concept, ceramic coatings are a higher-end product that require maintenance to keep them strong and lasting to their full potential!! At JAS we recommend a professional maintenance on the vehicle every 6 months/6,000 miles or if any concerns arise before then, water not beading, hydrophobicity seems clogged. All easy fixes! Your coating isn’t dead, it just needs detoxed and maintenance done!! Our maintenance packages start at $199. on ceramic coatings that we have applied here.
Final Thoughts
We hope this explains what a ceramic coating is and what it will do for you! Here at JAS I preach “Protect your investments!” And essentially ceramic is one of the best protections available to protect all of your investments!!! Cars, Trucks, Boats, SXS, Golf Carts, snowmobiles, Motorcycles you name it and we can coat it!
