We spend a lot of time talking about what you should do to care for the inner workings of your car. And while your engine, exhaust, and other systems are certainly important, you shouldn’t neglect the exterior of your car. After all, if your car’s body rusts out or suffers serious damage, it can’t protect the inner workings of your vehicle. At Top Level Automotive, we’re dedicated to giving you the best care for your car, both inside and out. An effective way to protect your car’s exterior is with a ceramic coating.
Let’s take a look at what an auto ceramic coating is and how it protects your car.
What is ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating is a layer that goes over the surface of your car and protects the paint. The coating is made from a polymer that consists of silicon dioxide. There are also some coatings made from titanium dioxide that are extra hard and provide more protection. The coating bonds with the paint on your car at a molecular level. That bond prevents it from washing off. How long a coating lasts depends on how many layers the technician applies to your car. The coatings are usually rated to last for 3, 5, or 7 years.
What protection does it provide?
Auto ceramic coating protects your car from scratches, damage from UV rays, oxidation, and corrosion. These coatings are also hydrophobic, which means that they repel water rather than absorbing it. Rust is one of the most common ways for your car’s exterior to be damaged. Prolonged exposure to water and the surface under the paint being exposed to the air both cause rust. ceramic Coatings repel water and prevent scratches from reaching the paint and exposing the metal underneath.
