CERAMIC COATING service
in BRONX, NEW YORK

Preserving the look of our vehicles is an expected aspect of being car owners for many of us. Perhaps you are:

• A detail-oriented enthusiast.
• A cautious lessee hoping to keep your monthly payments low.
• One of the growing numbers of people who rarely drive to work anymore because of a change in their work schedule.

Where you land on that spectrum will determine how much time and money you are willing to devote and whether or not a pricey ceramic coating is worth it.

Among the many possibilities, ceramic coating is preferred by car owners because of its durability. A ceramic coating acts like a hard shell, protecting the paint from environmental hazards, including water stains, road filth, and bird droppings. Simply giving them a short rinse will make them effortlessly disappear.

And that’s where we get to our next cool term: hydrophobic. While the word “phobic” usually carries a negative connotation, it is being used in a very positive sense. There will be less potential for mineral deposits and grime to damage the paint surface thanks to the hydrophobic layer created by the ceramic coating.

Kits for ceramic coating can be purchased for less than $100, but the time and effort required for thorough preparation can drive the price much higher. Before applying the layer, you should painstakingly buff the paint to remove any swirls, scratches, or discoloration, as the coating will amplify these flaws. Experts say that’s true even for brand-new cars that have just been driven off the dealer’s lot because the automatic car wash they went through probably damaged the paint slightly.

It helps explain why having a ceramic coating applied to your car by a professional can cost you a hefty fund. The typical DIY job is not something you should try on a high-priced vehicle or any cars to prevent unintentional mishaps that could cost more to fix.
