Ceramic Coating for Vehicles: Cheaper Isn't Better

One of the easiest ways to understand ceramic coating is to look at it like a second layer of protection over your car’s clear coat. Its nanotechnology uses tiny particles to form a very thin, invisible layer, and seal the pores on your car’s finish. This is what causes your car to be hydrophobic, repelling water and keeping dirt off the surface. Ceramic coating is also resistant to UV, light scratches, and more.

There are products on the market that are claim to be ceramic coating, but you won't get the same quality and long-lasting shine that you get with a professional ceramic coating. That’s because trained and certified professionals use expensive equipment and have the experience to give your car a very thorough detail. In addition, the products used by professionals are typically different quality than what you can buy off the shelf.

Do keep in mind, to get the most out of ceramic coating, you’ll want to prep your car’s surface. That means a thorough wash and detailing with a clay bar before applying the ceramic coat. Some of the labor you’re paying for with professional detailing is the time and effort it takes to get your car properly ready for ceramic coating.

Now, let's go through the basics of a professional ceramic coating application.

First, your vehicle is thoroughly washed. Then that is followed up with a mild clay bar to remove toxins and contaminants from the clear coat. Third, an acid neutralizer is used to stop any already occurring corrosion from things like acid rain, bird droppings, bugs, road brine, and tree sap. 

Ceramic coating is a liquid application, and it has a significant amount of curing time, so you should expect to not have your vehicle for about 2 days. Ceramic coating must be applied by a professional detailer, because there’s a special technique that is used in its application. This is to make sure that the coating is applied evenly and completely. 

Take note: once the coating has cured, that’s it. But when it does, it hardens into a thick layer of protection, almost like another clear coat of paint. With the ceramic coating you will get the highest depth of gloss on your vehicle as well as the greatest durability in protecting your vehicle’s paint.

A ceramic coating will definitely help your vehicle hold resale value. At Classy Chassis, we are proud to be the leading ceramic coating applicators for Ashland, Ohio, and the surrounding area. If you would like to learn more or schedule an appointment, call us at (419) 281-6680.

Electronic Corrosion Protection?

Car owners living in wintry climates like Ohio are constantly worried about cleaning road salt off their vehicles at the end of the day, to prevent rust from occurring. There are several ways to prevent corrosion. There is undercoating, spraying a tar-based substance on the exposed parts of a vehicle's underbody. There is dripless oil spray, a wax-like substance applied to the entire body of the vehicle, it hardens once it has dried. There is drip oil spray, and that is the most commonly recommended rust protection. But there is one new, greener method of corrosion protection , electronic corrosion protection (ECP). Electronic Corrosion Module protects the entire vehicle ECP emits a low power, pulse-wave, radio-frequency signal across all sheet metal surfaces of the vehicle. It protects against rust perforation that starts from the inside-out or the outside-in, even if it's caused by stone chips or scratches. The module's electromagnetic pulse-wave is effectiv...

Tonneau Cover? What's That?

A tri-fold tonneau truck cover Tonneau covers are hard truck bed covers that protect your truck and the items you carry in it. But why should you have one? Truthfully, the answer is found in simple science and economics. Trucks are not very aerodynamic, so wind is sucked down into the bed when driving, which causes drag. Installing a truck bed cover eliminates the drag and can result in better gas mileage. In some cases, the cover may pay for itself in as little as a year with the money you'll save on fuel! Some other benefits are keeping your cargo secure. First, the cover will keep things from being blown out onto the road and preventing accidents or accidental littering. They also keep undesirable debris, snow, and rain out of your truck bed and off of your cargo. While no truck bed cover is completely waterproof, they are highly effective at protecting your cargo from the elements. Tonneau covers also keep your cargo a complete mystery. Some even come with locking mec...
