Is ceramic coating worth it on a new car?
For most owners, yes. New paint is the cleanest it will ever be, so it is the best time to coat. You get easier washing and paint that stays glossy. If you are only keeping the car six months, skip it.
Is paint correction included?
In New Car Protection, yes. The paint gets a machine polish first, since the coating seals in whatever is there. Coating Only skips the polish, so it is for perfect paint only. Paint that needs more work gets quoted after we see it.
How long does the coating last?
Up to five years. It depends on how it is washed, how much sun it gets and whether it is garaged. A garaged car washed properly gets the full five years. One parked outside and run through brush washes will not.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
No. Nothing makes paint scratch proof. A coating adds a thin layer that resists light marks, but it will not stop rock chips, key scratches or swirls from bad washing.
How soon can I wash it after the coating goes on?
Keep it dry for 24 hours and do not wash it for about a week while it cures. After that, a wash every two weeks is ideal.
Can I still run it through a car wash?
Touchless, yes. Brush washes, no. The brushes drag dirt across the paint and dull the coating fast.
