Ceramic Coating FAQ for Illinois
How long does ceramic coating last?
Consumer-grade coatings typically last 1-2 years. Professional coatings last 3-5 years. Premium professional coatings can last 7-10+ years with proper maintenance.
Is ceramic coating scratch-proof?
No coating is scratch-proof. Ceramic coating adds hardness (typically 9H) that resists light scratches and swirl marks, but significant scratches can still occur. The coating helps maintain your paint, not make it invincible.
Can I wash my car normally after ceramic coating?
Yes, but hand washing with pH-neutral soap is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes. The hydrophobic surface makes hand washing quick and easy.
Is ceramic coating worth the investment?
For most owners, yes. The long-term protection, reduced maintenance, and preserved value typically justify the cost. It's especially valuable for new vehicles or after paint correction.
Can ceramic coating be applied over damaged paint?
Ceramic coating should be applied to paint in good condition. Any scratches or swirls will be locked in. Professional installations include paint correction before coating.
