FAQ

FAQ

What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating is an advanced paint protection that bonds to the paint and gives more gloss, a hydrophobic effect and better resistance against dirt, UV and chemical load.

How long does ceramic coating last?

It depends on the coating system, use and maintenance. Many coatings last between 2 and 5 years, while premium systems can deliver long-term performance when the car is maintained correctly.

Does ceramic coating protect against stone chips?

No. Ceramic coating does not protect against stone chips or physical damage. If you need to protect exposed areas against stone chips, PPF is a better choice.

Does the car need polishing before coating?

Often yes. Coating locks in the finish underneath. If the paint has wash marks, oxidation or swirls, the car should be corrected before coating is applied.

What is the hydrophobic effect?

Hydrophobic effect means that water beads and releases more easily from the surface. That makes the car easier to keep clean and reduces how much dirt sticks.

Why is an infrared lamp used with coating?

An infrared lamp is used to support controlled curing of the coating. It can contribute to a more stable curing process under aftercare and control.
