No matter what age your car is, a ceramic coating can be extremely beneficial for the longevity of the exterior paint. What is ceramic coating exactly? It’s mainly a combination of titanium dioxide and silica creating an extremely tough bond of nano-ceramic. It’s a lightweight material that will add a thin coating to prevent damage from normal wear and tear such as bird droppings, road salt, minor scratches, swirling, oxidation, and more. Here’s why you should have a ceramic coating on your vehicle:
Better Than Wax: While there’s nothing wrong with waxing the car, in the long run it’s going to cost you more, and it won’t be as effective as a ceramic coating. The wax coating doesn’t last long and needs to be reapplied frequently. The ceramic coating needs very little upkeep and it’s a long-lasting solution.

Water Repellant: A ceramic coating is hydrophobic which means it fails to mix with water so it ends up repelling the water. Not only can that harm the vehicle but it can affect the performance of the vehicle with the extra weight of the coating. A ceramic coating is lightweight and will not be felt in the performance of the car.

Can Increase the Resale Value: The ceramic coating will maintain the existing paint job on the vehicle. It will protect the exterior paint from premature aging, marring, oxidation, and swirling from the day to day drive. The performance of the car being sold is important, but the exterior is just as important. Protect it with a ceramic coating to ensure you can get the best price for your vehicle.

No Drawbacks: There are no drawbacks from using a ceramic coating. There’s no lasting residue and it won’t add layers to your vehicle or weight it down. When the coating wears off the vehicle will be back to how it was when you first got it.
