What is Nano Ceramic Coating
The Truth About Ceramic Coatings – What You Need to Know
Car Studios uses premium-grade ceramic coatings from Korea, engineered for durability, protection, and stunning gloss.
But what exactly is the ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating, sometimes called nano-coating, is a liquid polymer infused with silicon dioxide (SiO₂) that bonds to your vehicle’s paint, forming a thin, transparent, and highly durable protective layer. This layer repels water, UV rays, contaminants, and harsh chemicals, ensuring your car maintains its shine and stays cleaner for longer.
Once properly applied and cured, a high-quality ceramic coating can last for years, reducing maintenance while offering an exceptional glossy finish that enhances your car’s overall appearance.
Key Benefits of Ceramic Coating
✅ Scratch Resistance – Helps reduce minor scratches (Up to a certain degree) but does not make your car scratch-proof
✅ Hydrophobic Properties – Water beads off effortlessly, making cleaning easier
✅ Chemical & Contaminant Resistance – Protection against acidic substances, bird droppings, road grime, and environmental pollutants
✅ UV Protection – Prevents oxidation and fading, keeping your paint fresh
✅ Long-Lasting Durability – Professional ceramic coatings can last up to 9-10 years* with proper maintenance
✅ Enhanced Shine & Depth – Achieve that wet-look gloss for years to come
✅ Multi-Surface Application – Safe for paint, wheels, plastics, and glass
📌 Durability depends on proper care, maintenance, and environmental exposure.
What Ceramic Coating Does & Doesn’t Do
✅ What Ceramic Coating DOES:
✔ Provides Long-Lasting Protection – Professional-grade coatings can last up to 9-10 years* with proper maintenance.
✔ Adds a Hydrophobic Layer – Water, dirt, and contaminants bead off the surface, making cleaning easier.
✔ Enhances Gloss & Depth – Gives your car a deep, mirror-like shine with a “wet look” finish.
✔ Protects Against UV Damage – Prevents paint oxidation, fading, and sun damage over time.
✔ Resists Chemical Contaminants – Shields against acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and bug splatter.
✔ Reduces Minor Scratches & Swirl Marks – The coating adds a layer of hardness, but it is NOT scratch-proof.
✔ Improves Paint Longevity – Helps maintain the fresh showroom look for years.
✔ Works on Multiple Surfaces – Can be applied to paint, glass, wheels, plastics, and trims for all-around protection.
✔ Minimises the Need for Waxing – Unlike wax that wears off in weeks, ceramic coatings offer long-term protection.
✔ Reduces Water Spots – Hydrophobic properties help water slide off, reducing water spot formation.
📌 With proper care, ceramic coating ensures your car stays cleaner, shinier, and better protected against daily wear and tear.
❌ What Ceramic Coating DOESN’T Do:
✖ Does NOT Make Your Car Scratch-Proof – While it adds hardness, it won’t prevent deep scratches from keys, road debris, or accidents.
✖ Does NOT Eliminate the Need for Washing – Your car will still get dirty, but cleaning will be much easier and faster.
✖ Does NOT Stop Rock Chips – Ceramic coatings provide a layer of protection but won’t absorb impact like PPF (Paint Protection Film).
✖ Does NOT Remove Paint Imperfections – Proper paint correction is required before application to achieve the best results.
✖ Does NOT Last Forever – Even the best coatings require maintenance checks and re-boost treatments to maintain effectiveness.
✖ Does NOT Prevent Water Spots Completely – While it repels water, mineral deposits can still form if left to dry on the surface.
✖ Does NOT Replace Paint Protection Film (PPF) – PPF provides a physical barrier against stone chips, whereas ceramic coatings provide chemical protection.
✖ Does NOT Work Without Proper Application – Preparation, surface correction, and correct curing are essential for maximum durability and performance.
✖ Does NOT Protect Against Deep Chemical Burns – Harsh chemicals like strong acids or degreasers can still damage the coating if left untreated.
✅ What You SHOULD Do:
✔ Wash your car regularly using a pH-neutral shampoo
✔ Use the two-bucket method to avoid/minimise swirl marks and scratches
✔ Dry with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots
✔ Perform a ceramic coating maintenance check-up every 9-12 months
✔ Use a ceramic boost spray to maintain hydrophobic properties
✔ Park in the shade whenever possible to reduce UV exposure
❌ What You SHOULD AVOID:
✖ Avoid automatic car washes – they use harsh chemicals and brushes that can damage the coating
✖ Don’t use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can break down the coating
✖ Avoid high-pressure washers too close to the surface – they can degrade the coating over time
✖ Never dry your car with a regular towel – it can introduce fine scratches
✖ Don’t let contaminants sit on the surface for too long – bird droppings, tree sap, and bug splatter should be removed as soon as possible
