What is Ceramic Coating?

Industry-grade ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect it from external paint damage. Typically applied by hand, it blends with the paint of your car and creates an additional hydrophobic layer of protection.


Due to this chemical bonding and creation of a new layer, the car’s factory paint job remains untouched.


While many car enthusiasts and even detailers believe it to be an alternative to clear bra (paint protection film), ceramic coating, in reality, is an alternative to waxing. The main idea is to prevent dirt, grime, and stain marks from appearing on the paint job and ruining the clear coat.


Ceramic coating, also sometimes called Nano-ceramic coating, is a permanent or semi-permanent solution to your worries depending upon the coating and type of polymer used. Due to its chemically intrinsic properties, it does not break down in normal atmospheric conditions like rain or summer.


At Duarte's Detailing & Ceramic Coating in Longview Texas, We are here to help you protect your investments and keep them looking brand new, for years.

The Benefits of Ceramic Coating

There are a lot of coating companies that make some pretty big claims of what it can do. Although there’s some truth to the claims, I don’t like to oversell the capabilities of it. 

So here are some benefits you actually get with a coating:

  • Produces the most durable protection that lasts between 3 to 5 years 
  • You only need to apply it once (and not every 3 months like other forms of protection)
  • Creates a deep level of gloss that’s incomparable to other forms of protection like wax or sealant 
  • Provides unmatched hydrophobic properties that keeps your car cleaner and makes it easier to wash
  • Resistant to chemicals, oxidation, UV damage& corrosion

Before the coating is installed, your vehicle must first be properly prepped and corrected with one of our paint polishing or paint correction services. If you apply the coating without the proper prep work, you’re not able to get all the benefits from the coating.

That’s the difference of a professional ceramic coating installer. Additionally, if it’s not properly installed, you won’t get the actual benefits and you’ll see a ton of smudges across your vehicle.

This is what we consider “high spots”. You’ll see this when the coating was not properly applied and it was left to dry for too long without wiping off.

As a general rule of thumb, the more durable the coating, for instance, a 1 year versus a 5 year coating, the harder it is to install. You have to understand the weather variables as that can play a major factor in the installation process. 

Different coatings react different to when it’s humid, cold, or hot. 

Common Myths About Ceramic Coatings

Yes, coatings are long-lasting and durable, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with your vehicle and think the coating will protect it.


It has its limitations and it’s important to understand the limitations of what the ceramic coating can handle. Too many times we see customers overthink the protection aspect of the coating and are then disappointed when they see swirls or etchings in the paintwork.


The coating will not make your paint scratch-proof. When we say the coating will resist light swirls and scratches, we genuinely mean very light swirls and scratches that might be induced when properly washing or drying the vehicle.


If you drag a dry and dirty wash mitt across the paint, you will scratch the paint. If you drag your hand or leg across the paint, you will scratch it.


The coating will not protect your paint from rock chips. The only real option that can protect your paint from rock chips will be paint protection film (PPF).


No matter how many layers you apply of any protection, whether it’s wax or ceramic coating, it cannot stop the impact of a rock hitting your vehicle.


The coating requires maintenance to prolong the durability. Just like many other things in life, if you don’t care for the coating, it will degrade overtime and not last it’s intended lifespan.


You have to properly wash, dry, and boost the coating for maximum durability. A coating that was meant to last for 5 years can start to break down at year 3 if not cared for properly.

Prices will vary on condition of the vehicle. We recommend your vehicle to be prepped and corrected with our Paint Correction Service in order for the coating to work properly and we don't lock in any paint imperfections under the coating.
