Restoration to Showroom Quality by the Carguy

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic Coatings are a new-age polymer discovery, are currently popular in Europe, and are now only being introduced into America. Don’t be fooled, the CarGuy is one of the few in Utah that handle the full-suite (requiring over 48 hours to properly cure) of ceramic services. Many detailers offer limited value coatings that just do not have the durability of a full-suite ceramic.

Polymers form a bond with the factory paint/clear-coat, but require a prepared, near-perfect surface for correct bonding. Ceramic surfaces are more durable than paint.

Full suite coating can last 3-5 years. Proper maintenance requires surface preparation, base coats with sacrificial topcoats – which are 1000X longer-lasting than auto-wax.

Proper application is labor intensive with multiple coatings, has a set time to cure correctly and out performs the factory clear coat in hardness and protection. Its useful life, however, requires maintenance as the thickness is not like the factory clear-coat.

DETAILS – What makes True Ceramic Coating better?

KEEPS VEHICLE CLEANER FOR LONGER

A quality Ceramic Coating, provided by the CarGuy creates a near-permanent hydrophobic waterproof surface over your vehicle’s factory clear coat. This surface makes it more difficult for contaminants like dirt, mud, and grime to attack your car’s paint surface, which occurs immediately upon exposure to weather. As a result, your car stays cleaner for a longer amount of time.

MAKES VEHICLE EASIER TO WASH

The hydrophobic surface applied by the CarGuy will offer easier maintenance – which means that when the time does come for a wash, your car will be easier to clean. Water will just bead up, after absorbing contaminants, and this will never will reach your car’s paint.

PROTECTS FROM CHEMICAL STAINS AND ETCHING

A Ceramic Coating is about 100 times thicker than a traditional wax, all being coatings to protect the auto paint. Our Ceramic Coating equates to more substantial protection than the normal detail job. Ceramics are inert, chemically resistant, and repel staining from road tars, grit, and common weathering; together with etching caused by water. Tough acidic contaminants like bird-droppings or bug-splatter are repelled, but also need immediate attention. Your Ceramic Coating, will degrade with exposure to weathering and acidic contaminants, so refreshing of the sacrificial ceramic coat will periodically be necessary. However, your layer of Ceramic Coating will preclude damage and help protect the factory paint/clear coat.

PROTECTS FROM UV DAMAGE

Solar degradation through radiations including UV Light pose a substantial risk for your auto paint, resulting in fading of color and luster. This results is common to automobiles of age. Ceramic Coating is UV resistant, meaning that your paint will be protected from fading and luster weathering.

ENHANCES GLOSS

Ceramic Coating creates a new surface, that enhances the reflective properties of your car’s paint. The result is a striking, radiant shine, based upon the increased luster and gloss. Often and frequent washes will be unnecessary, and will commonly display your car’s surface as that beautiful just-been-waxed kind of look.

A LONG-TERM SOLUTION

A Ceramic Coating does all of this with the right coating. Unlike a traditional wax or sealant, a Ceramic Coating does not wash away. Proper maintenance will allow your car to be protected for 3-5 years.
