What's the Purpose of Ceramic Coating for Cars?
Ceramic Car Coating in Ottawa
The surface of every car is covered with a base coat of paint, a primer, and a clear coat to protect the original paint job. A ceramic coating is applied overtop of the clear coat to provide a very thin, transparent, and invisible layer of additional protection.
A ceramic coating helps seal the pores on your car’s paint to create a hydrophobic layer that’s also highly UV, scratch, and heat resistant. This layer of protection is chemically bonded with your car paint on a molecular level. It does not wash away or break down and will even increase the shine of your car.
We believe in using only the best products in our shop, which is why we are accredited Gtechniq detailers, allowing us to offer manufacturer, warranty-backed performance protection up to 9 years. We install ceramic coating in Ottawa for luxury vehicles, sports cars, pick up trucks, SUVs, and more!

Frequently Asked Questions
Ceramic Coating FAQS
A ceramic coating is an extremely durable and hydrophobic polymer solution that’s applied to the exterior of your vehicle to add an additional layer of protection. Ceramic coating is typically used to preserve paintwork but it can also help protect glass, plastic trim, and the wheels of your vehicle as well.
It varies depending on the product and the level of maintenance or care. A properly and professionally installed ceramic coating can upwards of 2-5 years on average – with proper maintenance.
As is the case with most things, your ceramic coating will deteriorate over time. The good news is, with proper maintenance, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your ceramic coating.
Some tips for maintaining the ceramic coating on your vehicle include:
- Wash your car regularly
- Avoid letting pollen and bird droppings sit on your car for extended periods
- Use pH neutral shampoo
- Avoid abrasive towels when washing
- Get an annual inspection
- Avoid automated car washes
The first step that’s necessary before applying any type of coating is a deep cleaning and decontamination of the exterior of your vehicle. A thorough cleaning will help the ceramic coating to achieve a better bond with the paintwork.
After the initial preparation, a liquid emulsion is applied to your vehicle one panel at a time to cover all of the exterior surfaces of your vehicle and it’s left to dry and cure. Once cured, you’ll have a beautiful, glossy protective layer on the exterior of your vehicle. Don’t forget to take care of it and maintain it properly!
Ceramic coating typically hardens 24 hours after application but the curing process takes about an entire week (if not more) for the coating to fully bond with your car’s paint. Keep in mind that curing time will vary depending on the products used.
When you get your car waxed, the wax is applied to the surface and sits on top of the paint of your vehicle. With ceramic coating, the material actually bonds directly with your car’s paintwork and it creates a new substrate. The bonded material is much harder to remove than waxes and paint sealants and is considerably more durable than other alternatives.
