CERAMIC COATINGS Keighley From £80

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surface of a vehicle. It chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a protective layer. The main ingredient is typically silicon dioxide (SiO2) or titanium dioxide, which forms a strong, transparent coating.

1. Protection from UV Damage: Shields the car's paint from harmful ultraviolet rays, which can cause fading and oxidation.
2. Chemical Resistance: Protects against chemical stains and etching caused by acidic contaminants like bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap.
3. Hydrophobic Properties: Creates a water-repellent surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, making it easier to clean and reducing water spots.
4. Enhanced Gloss: Gives the vehicle a deep, glossy appearance, enhancing the paint's clarity and depth.
5. Scratch Resistance (to some extent): While not scratch-proof, ceramic coatings can provide a harder surface that makes it more resistant to light scratches and swirl marks.
6. Ease of Maintenance: Simplifies cleaning due to its smooth surface, which prevents dirt and grime from sticking as easily.

• Preparation: Thoroughly wash and sometimes polish the car to remove any contaminants and imperfections.
• Application: Apply the ceramic coating in small sections using an applicator pad, following specific instructions regarding application and curing times.
• Curing: Allow the coating to cure for a specified period (usually 24-48 hours), during which it bonds with the paint and hardens to form a protective layer.

• Longevity: Provides long-term protection compared to traditional waxes and sealants.
• Appearance: Enhances the car's shine and maintains a "like-new" appearance.
• Protection: Guards against environmental damage and preserves the vehicle's resale value.

Ceramic coatings are popular among car enthusiasts and owners looking to protect their investment and maintain their vehicle's appearance with minimal effort. While professional application is recommended for optimal results, there are also DIY ceramic coating kits available for those who prefer to apply it themselves.
