What is a Ceramic Coating?

 A ceramic coating is one of the most advanced forms of automotive paint protection available today. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that only last a few weeks to a few months, a professional ceramic coating forms a durable, long-lasting layer over your vehicle’s clear coat. This protective layer helps guard your paint against bird droppings, dirt, rain, UV rays, tree sap, and everyday environmental contaminants—keeping your car looking newer for years.


While wax and sealants provide temporary shine and light protection, a ceramic coating delivers unmatched durability, longevity, hydrophobic performance, and deep gloss. If you’re looking for the best way to preserve your vehicle’s paint, enhance shine, and reduce maintenance, ceramic coating is the clear winner.


When should you get a ceramic coating?
The best time is as soon as possible. Whether you have a brand-new car or a vehicle you’ve owned for years in San Jose, the earlier you protect your paint, the better. Once the clear coat becomes oxidized, etched, or permanently damaged, the only true fix is repainting. That’s why applying a ceramic coating early is crucial to maintaining your vehicle’s value and appearance.

Common Myths About Ceramic Coatings

Myth: The ceramic coating will make your car completely scratch-proof.

While ceramic coatings provide a layer of protection against light scratches, they do not make the surface completely scratch-proof. 


For an example, if you wash your car with a dirty wash mitt, it will scratch the paint. If you drive it through the tunnel wash every time, it will scratch the paint. The coating only protects against very minor scratches and swirls.

Myth: You don't need to wash your car after applying a ceramic coating.

Ceramic coatings make it easier to clean your vehicle because it creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water and dirt. However, this doesn't mean you can neglect regular washing. Like everything else, it does require proper maintenance. 


You'd want to hand wash your vehicle at least once every three months with a ph balance soap, high quality wash mitt and premium drying towels, to get the full potential of the coating.

Myth: Ceramic coatings are a one-step process.

Applying ceramic coatings is not just about spraying or wiping it on, it's a long and very detailed process that can take anywhere in between 4-12 hours. 


It all starts with a hand wash, clay bar, iron decontamination, blow/hand dry, polishing phase to remove a majority of scratches, swirls, and any minor paint imperfections, then an IPA wipe to remove any leftover polish residue. This will ensure the paint is properly prepped and ready for the coating to get applied.

Ceramic Coating FAQs

We highly recommend not getting your vehicle wet for the first 48 hours and absolutely no car wash for the first two weeks. After those 2 weeks we provide a free wash to make sure everything bonded properly. 


Ideally yes. Doing the proper steps and prep work will grantee that the coating will last for years to come. No prep work and the coating won't proper stick to the paint, meaning it fail before said time. 


Unfortunately it doesn't.  Once your clear coat is damage it would need to be repainted. If you start to see your clear coat peel we can coat over it and help prevent it from spreading before it's to late.
