Ceramic Coating My Corvette

There is plenty of misinformation out there concerning this new and exciting automotive product.

Ceramic coating my corvette.

Let s get the facts straight. What does an automotive ceramic coating do. I have found the coatings work well but they do not offer you near the protection of something like x pel ultimate. Any surface scratches that happen in the coating are easily removed with light polishing which will not weaken the integrity of the original clear coat.

I may use some ceramic coating on the rims. A consumer grade coating will vary greatly compared to a professional grade coating. I am getting my carbon 65 z06 covered in x pel ultimate today for total protection. Think of ceramic pro as an additional clear coat layer only a lot harder.

What does it not do. When a car is frequently exposed to the sun the paint becomes faded and dull due to oxidation. While the cost of your coating may not be less with a light colored car it may be more due to a dark colored car. Often after a proper corvette detailing that is followed by ceramic coating installation a wash becomes a rinse and dry as the dirt cascades off of the body and wheels of your car.

Type and brand of coating to be applied. The great thing about ceramic coatings is that they repel water and make your vehicle much easier to clean and maintain. With ceramic pro your paint won t fade or age due to the uv protection in the glass coating. Have your detailer discuss the different options if any of the brand or brands of coatings the apply.
