Ceramic coatings are a great option for individuals who are looking for a protective layer that is more durable. Ceramic coatings are thicker than traditional wax, which means it better protects against micro-marring and etching, protects the paint from all foreign matter such as dirt, scratches, mud, and other contaminants, and essentially offers better protection overall.
Additionally, ceramic coatings repel dirt seamlessly and are easier to clean. This is because this substance work at a molecular level, which ensures that your vehicle is smooth and even. With that said, even when your vehicle comes in contact with dirt, it'll easily roll-off, allowing you to keep your vehicle clean. Another benefit of a ceramic coating is that because of its durability, it's a lot easier to prevent swirl marks as a result of constant washing.
A ceramic coating is a low maintenance option, which is convenient for those who don't want to worry about the upkeep of applying wax. These coatings last a lot longer. In fact, they can last for years and there's no need to apply any car wax.
The process can take anywhere from 1-5 days to apply the coating. However, the time it takes will ultimately depend on things such as the current condition of your paint and the size of your vehicle.
