Ceramic coatings are extremely durable and can last anywhere from a few months to several years. Professional-grade ceramic coatings claim to last up to 5-7 years. This is truly remarkable considering many of us grew up applying paste wax that began to lose its hydrophobic properties after just 30 days, and provided nowhere near the same level of protection. While true ceramic coatings are extremely durable, they are not for everyone or every budget. Many spray ceramic coatings and sealants like The Last Coat TLC2 (Highlighted in our January 2020 GloveBox) can offer 6 months to a year of protection and be applied in your driveway for as little as $10 a coat. Spray ceramic coatings don't last nearly as long, but they're easy to apply and can last up to 6 months before needing to install another coat. This cost effectiveness and moderate durability make them a good option for DIY'ers and weekend warriors on a budget.
