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.

Ceramic Paint Coating vs. Dealership Paint Coating

Ceramic paint coating services are provided by Classy Chassis in Ashland, Ohio. If you've recently bought a new car from a dealership, you've probably been offered a paint protection program. Yet, you might be wondering what other options are out there, and if those services are really as great as your salesman is making them out to be. Ceramic coating is an alternative option, and the process involved is much more intricate than the service you'll get elsewhere. This isn't to say that local dealers are necessarily bad, but you'll get more for your money when you bring your vehicle to a professional ceramic coater.   Oftentimes, professional coaters are very knowledgeable and have enough experience to know that rushing the process is not going to result in a quality coating. They'll make sure your vehicle has a clean surface before application, and they'll allow the coating to cure properly. The difference isn't just in the careful attention to detail t...

Leveling Kit vs Lift Kit

Lift kits and leveling kits are two of the most popular aftermarket add-ons, from Jeeps to SUVs, to pick up trucks. Both kits offer improved off-road performance while giving your vehicle a new look, but what is the difference between the two? If you own a mid to large-sized vehicle, you’ve probably noticed the rear end can sit a little higher than the front end. Because they are made to carry heavier loads, the back end has additional height to avoid sagging once it’s loaded. There’s no harm in the difference, but it isn’t the most visually appealing when there is no load to even it out. A leveling kit matches the front end to the back end height. Leveling kits are also added a majority of the time when a winch is added to compensate for the additional front end weight. While leveling kits are mostly just for looks, it can also give you some additional ground clearance. Leveling kits are often composed of spacers, strut extensions, shocks, and lift blocks.
