should I ceramic coat MY new car?

6/10/2018

 

​Why you should ceramic coat your new car?

Picture
​Ceramic coating car or Nano-ceramic coating is a polymer that is liquid and is applied by the hand to every inch of a car’s exterior. It provides car paint protection from all environmental hazards, and it will make it easier to wash the car since the new car ceramic coating bonds chemically with the car’s original factory clear coat and paint. The San Diego ceramic car coating is an excellent wax alternative that does not need to be re-applied every few months.

​Advantages of ceramic coating your new car.

Picture
​New car ceramic coating provides extreme protection from the sun’s UV rays. After too much or prolonged exposure to the sun, the car’s paint will start to oxidize which will dull the paint. To avoid having faded car paint, ceramic paint protection is recommended to be used. A ceramic coat will encase the car’s paint with a protective layer of protection that can definitely endure a huge amount of potential damage that can lead to deterioration and other ill-effects on the car’s exterior beauty.
Ceramic coating the car shelters the car from the dangers of chemical stains and etching. It is not always a viable option to keep the car stored away from acidic contaminants that are usually the number one enemy to a cars painted surfaces.  Given the unrealistic option of driving the car under an umbrella, it is best to use San Diego ceramic car coatings to make the car chemical resistant. Nano-coating functions at a molecular level and gives exceptionally long lasting protection to any vehicles painted surfaces. Dirt will just slide off the exterior, and any contaminants that the car encounters on the road will not have a chance to adhere to the ceramic coating. 

Ceramic Car Coatings are Cost Effective!

Picture
​Cars with ceramic coating are effortless to clean because they are hydrophobic. Ceramic coated cars are free of abrasions, have a smooth finish and they repel water, therefore water will form beads on the exterior and slide off effortlessly. With this feature, grime and mud will have a hard time sticking to the car’s surface. In the event that dirt or any foreign substances should stick to the cars surface, the car’s new coating will make it so easy and simple to effortless to wash off with nothing more that a little water and a microfiber towel. Yes, it is that easy.
The new car ceramic coating will magnify the brilliant shine of the car’s original paint and clear coat, which embellishes the depth and clairity of the paint. Waxing is no longer the go to option for car paint protection since it is not permanent and the waxed results will wear off in a short time.
Ceramic coating is cost-effective, and it will add value to your car, aside from the obvious benefit of a long lasting lustrous finish. Car waxes and sealants do not provide high protection and it will only protect for one to three months, while a ceramic-coated car will have protection for years to come. The ceramic coat is efficiently fused to the car’s surface and can only be removed with abrasion and old fashion elbow grease. With proper care and maintenance, the car will not need to have a new coating applied for years. The coat can last for up to four to five making it an investment that will surely pay for itself in a short matter of time. Less washing, no waxing and added car value add up to more money in the bank!

IGL COATINGS VS opti coat

Ceramic Coating for Cars - Overview

Picture
Dirt, pollution, UV rays etc. take a toll on the paint of our new car.  We try to maintain and preserve the paint surface of the car, but with time it fades away and stains, etching, swirl marks etc. appear on the surface. Ceramic coating for cars provides a comprehensive solution to these problems. It provides effective paint protection.
 
Ceramic car coating is a liquid polymer applied to the car’s body, which bonds with the factory paint and creates a protective layer. It creates a permanent bond with the paint and thus, it can not be washed away or broken down. The coating provides resistance against dirt and stain marks and other types of protections- UV resistance, scratch resistance, thermal resistance, etc. It provides a high gloss on the paint surface and due to its hydrophobic nature, it makes cleaning the car easier. Here, we review two different types of ceramic coating products. 

IGL Ceramic Coating Review

IGL Car Ceramic Coatings
​IGL coatings Kenzo is a ceramic paint protection with 100% Silica. This leads to better gloss and protection. It can be applied only by certified applicators. It provides a thick layer of coating with high gloss and durable protection to the paint. Some of the important features of the coating are as follows:
 
Self-Cleaning
Due to the high hydrophobicity of the ceramic coating, dust, pollutants etc. will only sit on top of the coating and get washed off easily. They do not get bonded or attached to the coating and hence are easier to wash and remove. It does not damage the paint surface.
 
High Gloss
As it contains 100% silica, it gives a high gloss. The application is to only be applied by trained professionals that have been certified to uphold the meticulous yet rewarding application process. The results are eye popping as they produce an unmatched gloss and shine throughout the ceramic coating world. IGL is world renowned for its lasting protection and brilliant shine that have come to be the standard within the paint protection industry.
 
Controls Swirls
Swirls appear on the paint surface of the car due to improper washing techniques. These swirls do not allow the light to properly pass through and hence the car paint appears as dull. IGL ceramic coating guards against the swirl and provides a glossy look to the car from the first day of application well into its final days some five years later if not longer. IGL is all about protection and just so happens to produce the best shine and gloss in the Ceramic Coating industry. 
 
Protection against Bugs and Bird Poop
Bugs and bird poop are acidic in nature and if they are left for a long time, they will damage the paint. With the IGL ceramic car coating and its highly acidic resistant nature, these bird poop and bugs are no longer able to damage the paint. 

Opti Coat Ceramic Coating Review
​

Opti Coat Pro San Diego
​Opti coat is ceramic car coating providing paint protection from scratches and chemical etchings. Opti coat forms a hard layer of protection on the paint surface. It provides high gloss and protection for the paint surface. Important features of the product are detailed out below:
 
Long-Term Solution
Opti coat forms a continuous protective layer on the paint surface and provides protection for long-term. It does not wash away of breaks over a period of time.
 
Resistance from Scratches
The product is much thicker than wax coating and hence, it provides scratch resistance. It also decreases the swirl marks and enhances the paint protection greatly.
 
Etching Resistance
It provides resistance from acidic substances like bird droppings on the paint surface. It resists the etching or dissolving when it comes in contact with such acidic substances. This provides paint protection and keeps the paint like new.
 
UV Damage Protection
The car paint usually fades with exposure to UV rays. However, Opti Coat provides UV ray protection and protects the paint fading away due to the same.
 
Easy to Clean
Due to the hydrophobic character of the product, it repels water. This results in dirt not getting bonded to the paint surface and it becomes easier to clean them.
 
High Gloss      
Opti coat provides high gloss to the paint surface and enhances its appearance. 

So the better Car Ceramic Coating?

Opti-Coat San Diego
The IGL ceramic car coatings provide a better choice to the customers over opti coat coatings. It has better hydrophobic properties than opti coat which results in better cleaning and removal of dirt and stains. It also provides a harder protective layer compared to opti coat, which provides better paint protection. The gloss and the finish offered by IGL coating is much superior to the results derived from opti coat. The IGL coating is also more effective in controlling the swirl marks and etching. Overall, IGL coatings are a better alternative to opti coat coatings and customers should opt for the same.

Because of IGL’s ceramic car coating and its high chemical resistant nature, bird poop and bugs are no longer able to damage the paint because it can not penetrate through the car’s new ceramic paint protection. It’s like a force field for your car.  

Ceramic Pro Ceramic Car Coatings Review
