WHAT'S A CERAMIC COATING?
Ceramic Coating is a solid protective layer that prevents your vehicle from swirls and minor scratches in St. George weather, not to mention its extreme heat resistance properties. Think of ceramic coating as a layer of paint protection superior to wax or sealants.
Once it dries, it becomes a hard long-term paint protection, that strongly resists contaminations. Coatings have self-cleaning properties making it easy to fight rain acid, dirt, UV, chemicals, bird droppings and whatever else the weather throws at your car.
If the idea of reapplying wax to your car every three months doesn’t sound appealing, then this is exactly what you need. With its fantastic hydrophobic properties you’ll see your car repelling water like never before.

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT CERAMIC COATINGS
Absolutely, ceramic in St. George coatings offer impressive durability, but they’re not invincible armor for your vehicle. It’s vital to understand their limits.
Coatings resist light swirls and scratches from proper washing and drying. However, they won’t prevent deeper scratches caused by negligence or dragging rough objects.
Remember, a ceramic coating won’t shield your paint from rock chips.
Maintenance is key. Just like anything valuable, neglecting care will lead to gradual deterioration. Regular proper washing, drying, and occasional maintenance boosts are essential for the longevity of any ceramic coating application.
Even a 6-year coating can degrade by year 3 without proper care.
