What is a Ceramic Coating? Unveiling the Ultimate Protection for Your Vehicle
A ceramic coating is a protective layer that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to provide superior protection and enhancement. Made of nano-ceramic particles, this coating forms a hard and durable barrier on the surface, bonding chemically with the paintwork. It creates a hydrophobic effect, repelling water, dirt, and grime, thus reducing the need for constant washing. The ceramic coating also offers excellent resistance to UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants, safeguarding the paint from fading, discoloration, and corrosion.
Why You Need a Ceramic Coating for Your Vehicle - Enhancing Beauty, Protecting Investment
At Tidewater Auto Detailing, we understand the importance of protecting and enhancing the appearance of your vehicle. While traditional waxing has been a popular method for maintaining a glossy finish, we firmly believe that ceramic coating is the superior choice. Here are several compelling reasons why ceramic coating outshines wax in terms of long-lasting protection and overall value.
Unlike conventional waxes or sealants, a ceramic coating offers long-lasting protection. With proper maintenance, it can keep your vehicle looking glossy and vibrant for years.
Traditional waxes require reapplication every few months to maintain their protective properties, leading to frequent expenses. On the other hand, ceramic coatings last for years with minimal maintenance.
Cleaning your vehicle becomes a breeze as the hydrophobic properties of the coating repel water, dirt, and grime. Dust, mud, and other contaminants will effortlessly slide off the surface, leaving you with a minimal cleaning effort.
Ceramic coating enhances the visual appeal of your vehicle. Its glossy, mirror-like finish will make heads turn.
Your vehicle is properly prep to ensure you get the best performance from the coating.
Wash
This service starts off with a heavy duty strip wash to remove noticeable dirt, tree sap, road grime and old waxes.
Paint Prep
An iron removal and clay bar is used to remove bonded contaminants from the paint surface. This removes brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout from the clear coat. Allowing the paint pores to open so that the paint coating can fully bond with the paint.
Polish
1 step polish correction will remove light to medium swirls and scratches allowing a high gloss finish. A surface prep wipe is done to remove any remaining polish on the surface.
Coat
Your vehicle is then protected with a ceramic coating. Adding durable protection and lasting gloss.

How long will my car be protected?
The coating will last for multiple years, depending on how you take care of the vehicle. The best way to do that is to bucket wash it once a week. If you can’t bucket wash it, use a touchless drive-through car wash. We also provided coating maintenance washes for our customer’s coated vehicles.
Coatings require maintenance to prolong their durability. Just like many other things in life, if you don’t care for the coating, it will degrade over time and not last its intended lifespan.
