Ceramic Coating
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a premium protective solution applied to your vehicle's paint to create a long-lasting, hydrophobic barrier. This coating bonds with the surface, providing superior protection against water, dirt, light scratches, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. It enhances your car’s shine and slickness making it easier to clean and maintain, while preserving the paint from fading and oxidation. With proper care, ceramic coatings can last for several years, offering a sleek, glossy finish and added durability to keep your vehicle looking its best. Protect your investment with a ceramic coating for lasting shine and protection. Ask about our new car special.
Benefits of ceramic coating
- Produces a durable layer of protection that lasts years
- You only need to apply it once (and not every 3 months like other forms of protection)
- Creates a deep level of gloss that’s incomparable to other forms of protection like wax or sealant
- Provides unmatched hydrophobic properties that keeps your car cleaner and makes it easier to wash
- Gives your paint slickness to the touch
- It can be installed on paint, glass, wheels, and headlights
Before applying a ceramic coating, it’s essential to properly prepare your vehicle with one of our Paint Enhancement services. This step ensures that the surface is clean, smooth, and free of imperfections, allowing the coating to bond effectively. Without the proper prep work, the coating won’t adhere correctly, and you won’t be able to fully experience its benefits, such as superior protection, slickness, shine, and durability. Investing in the right prep process maximizes the performance and longevity of your ceramic coating.
Myths About Ceramic Coatings
- The ceramic coating will not make your paint scratch-proof. When we say it resists light swirls and scratches, we’re referring to very minor marks that might occur during proper washing or drying. It helps protect against light abrasions, but it’s not a shield against heavy scratches or damage from harsh conditions. Proper care is still essential to maintain your vehicle's finish.
- The coating will not protect your paint from rock chips. No matter how many layers you apply of any protection, whether it’s wax or ceramic coating, it cannot stop the impact of a rock hitting your vehicle.
- The coating requires maintenance to prolong the durability. Just like many other things in life, if you don’t care for the coating, it will degrade overtime and not last it’s intended lifespan.

While ceramic coatings are long-lasting and durable, they’re not a catch-all solution. It’s important to understand their limitations. The coating provides excellent protection, but it can’t shield your vehicle from everything. Over time, improper care or exposure to harsh conditions can still cause damage, like swirls or etchings in the paint. Many customers expect the coating to offer complete protection, only to be disappointed when it doesn't prevent all imperfections. Proper maintenance and realistic expectations are key to getting the most out of your coating.
A monthly maintenance wash with a PH balanced soap is recommended to ensure proper longevity of the coating. When you book a ceramic maintenance wash get a free standard interior cleaning.
steps to ensure the Coating bonds
1. Chemical and Mechanical decontamination
We will use iron remover and clay media to eliminate stuck-on dirt, road fallout, and debris, resulting in a smooth paint finish.
2. Application of Adhesion Promoter Polish
This process slightly swells the paint, allowing the ceramic resins to lock it in place, making the surface more receptive to the coating. As a result, the ceramic coating bonds with the clear coat, rather than just sitting on top, providing better durability and protection.
3. Application of ceramic coating
This high-tech ceramic composite coating combines silicon dioxide (Si02), SiN, and Polysilazane to give you durable hydrophobic ceramic protection.
*All ceramic coatings include a premium detail wash and interior detail, and does not include paint enhancement services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at detailwithduckys@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We do not apply ceramic coatings to vehicles that haven't undergone proper prep and paint correction. Without this essential step, you won’t fully experience the benefits of the coating, as it won't bond properly or deliver optimal protection.
If your paint is chipping or fading due to clear coat failure, the only solution is a repaint. A ceramic coating cannot fix or prevent further damage in these cases.
The ceramic coating requires regular maintenance to maintain its durability. Like anything else, if not properly cared for, it will degrade over time and won’t last as long as intended. Proper washing and drying are crucial to ensure the coating retains its protective qualities and longevity.
If we’re working at your home location, then if possible, we’ll use the water spigot you have. If we’re working at an apartment or your work location, we have our own water supply that we use. We do need an outlet for power at this time.
