What Is Ceramic Coating, and How Long Does It Last?
Ceramic coating has changed car care, offering long-lasting protection and a finish that stays glossy for years. Here's what it is, what it does and how long it lasts.
What is ceramic coating?
A semi-permanent, invisible layer applied to your paint. Unlike wax or sealant, it forms a chemical bond with the clear coat, creating a durable, hydrophobic surface.
How long does ceramic coating last?
We offer Gtechniq coatings in 2-year and 5-year options. How long any coating lasts depends on the environment, how the car is maintained, and the quality of the product and installation.
Benefits of ceramic coating
- Luster and shine. Adds depth and gloss for a showroom finish.
- Less maintenance. Dirt and grime struggle to stick to a hydrophobic surface.
- Protection from contaminants. Shields paint from bird droppings, tree sap and road tar.
- No more waxing. A coating replaces years of wax.
- Fewer wash scratches. Paint that washes easily picks up fewer swirls.
- UV and oxidation protection. Keeps paint from fading.
