FAQ
A Ceramic Coating is a thin layer of glass that is applied and cured onto the surface of a given substrate which acts as a barrier to the harmful rays of the sun, oxidation, rust and small surface scratches and water spots.
Ceramic Pro uses Nano Technology in this process which means that the coating bonds to the molecules of the surface permanently. This gives the surface a super gloss finish which cannot be removed by washing and chemicals.
Most vehicle clear coats are manufactured to protect the base paintwork from outside factors. Due to the competitive nature of the automotive industry, it would not be economically viable to manufacture a vehicle with clear coat of the hardness of Ceramic Pro. Therefore, this technology is applied as an aftermarket solution which is more than twice the hardness of manufactured clear coat.
No, there is no Ceramic Coating that can resist the impact of a stone on the paintwork of a vehicle. The best protection against stone chips is the application of Kavaca Paint Protection Film which will resist certain impacts but ultimately if an object strikes a vehicle at high velocity then damage to paint work is inevitable.
The coating can be removed with heavy polishing and abrasion. It will not peel or crack and cannot be removed with detergents.
Absolutely! The coating will enhance visibility, prevent mist and water marks, remove dirt and save on wiper blades
The coating will prevent damage to leather and fabric seats form spills and dye transfer and friction from sliding in and out of the vehicle. The interior will retain its factory look for much longer and will prevent absorption of liquids into the seats and carpets enabling a quick and efficient clean up.
Once coated, there is no change in the texture or “new car” smell of the interior. The factory finish will remain the same.
Ceramic Pro protects on an industrial level to prevent: machine failure due to dust and grime build up, short circuits on electrical installations, labour and water saving on cleaning and maintenance, loss of efficiency on solar panels due to reflection from unclean surfaces and many more wear and tear scenarios.
Maintenance is done to maintain the hydrophobic effect. The Top Coat is applied as a final coat on initial application which is considered as a sacrificial lamb. Top Coat has a 2 year life span, but when maintained biannually, the life span will be extended well beyond your warranty period.
No is the only answer. Ceramic Pro will not adhere to an uncured paint surface. When applying 9H, you will notice droplets occurring as the surface is rejecting the coating.
Automotive refinish paint can take up to 28 days to fully cure after painting. As Ceramic Pro can only coat cured paint surfaces, there are a few tests one can do to confirm if the surface has cured.
As the word, “hydrophobic” means to repel water. Ceramic Pro is not water based, coats are applied between flash off times and not once the previous coat has been fully cured.
23 degrees Celsius and 55/60% humidity.
40 Minutes at 23 degrees Celsius.
14 - 21 Days at 23 degrees Celsius.
When hard water is left on the vehicle to dry and not wiped off, the impurities can etch into the coating. This can easily be rectified while still maintaining the integrity of the vehicles clear coat.
Read and understand your warranty and aftercare document.
Paint protection film is a nonpermanent plastic vinyl film that is applied to protect a vehicle against stone chips and minor scratches. A ceramic coating is a permanent protective coating applied to protect against, UV damage, corrosion, dirt adhesion, industrial fall out, high gloss and swirl marks.
