Ceramic Coatings - Frequently Asked Questions
Ceramic coatings are an incredible innovation in automotive care, offering unparalleled protection and a beautiful, glossy finish that keeps your car looking like new. However, despite their growing popularity, ceramic coatings are often misunderstood. Many people have questions about what ceramic coatings can and cannot do, how they work, and how to maintain them for long-lasting results. To help clear up any confusion, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about ceramic coatings.
🔸Is a ceramic coating permanent?
While some coatings are marketed as permanent, they do require regular maintenance and inspections to ensure they continue to perform optimally. They can also wear down over time if not cared for properly. Even coatings with a lifetime warranty need to be looked after with regular maintenance.
🔸Do I still need to wash my car after applying a ceramic coating?
Yes, ceramic coatings provide exceptional protection, but contrary to popular belief, they are not a "set-and-forget" solution. Regular and correct (we will teach you!) washing is essential to maintain the coating's effectiveness. However, the hydrophobic properties of the coating will make washing much easier and quicker.
🔸How do I maintain my ceramic coating?
We recommend using pH-neutral car wash products and totally avoiding automatic car washes with harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. Regular inspections by a certified System-X installer are also crucial.
🔸Will ceramic coatings protect my car from scratches?
Ceramic coatings provide a degree of scratch resistance, but they are not completely scratch-proof. While they help prevent scratches, they won’t protect against deep scratches or dents.
System X MAX G+ is the strongest coating available and is used by the US army.
🔸What happens if I don't maintain the ceramic coating?
Neglecting maintenance can reduce the effectiveness of the coating, and you may lose the warranty. Regular care is essential to ensure the coating continues to protect and shine.
🔸Does ceramic coating work on more than just paint?
Yes, ceramic coatings can be applied to wheels, trim, and even interior surfaces for comprehensive protection.
🔸Do your ceramic coatings include application on rims, trims and glass?
Yes, absolutely. We don't do things halfway. Our ceramic coatings packages include application to rims, trims and glass.
🔸Why do you apply a glass-specific ceramic protection on windows?
Ceramic coatings are designed to bond with the clear coat of your car's paint, but glass doesn't have a clear coat. To achieve optimal results and longevity, our technicians apply a glass-specific coating that's tailored to the unique properties of glass surfaces.
🔸Can ceramic coating be applied to a PPF and/or matt car?
Yes, absolutely. System X Max & Diamond are suitable to be applied on wrapped cars and/or matt cars.
🔸Will ceramic coatings prevent water spots?
While ceramic coatings are hydrophobic and repel water, they may not completely eliminate water spots. It’s still important to dry your car properly after washing or exposure to rain.
🔸Do you offer payment plans for ceramic coatings?
Yes, have made Afterpay available to our ceramic coating clients
