LEADING CERAMIC COATING APPLICATION EXPERTS IN BATAVIA, ILLINOIS

Whether you wash your car yourself or take it through an automatic car wash, it costs you time out of your day or money out of your pocket. When you invest in a ceramic coating, you make it easier to clean and maintain the exterior of your vehicle.

This is because a ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic protection layer on your car. This means that it better repels water, thereby allowing beads of moisture from rain to slide right off the surface of your car. This also means that dirt, grime, and other debris you encounter while you’re on the road can’t adhere to your vehicle as easily. This shortens cleaning time by allowing you to effortlessly wipe away any grime that does end up sticking to your car.

Car wax and sealants serve a similar purpose as a ceramic coating. They add dimension and shine to your vehicle’s paint while repelling dirt and debris. That said, car wax and sealants don’t last nearly as long as a ceramic coating.

When you invest in a ceramic coating, you eliminate the need to have your car waxed or sealed for the life of the coating because the ceramic coating is already doing the job of these other products — and it does that job much more efficiently and for a much longer period of time. Further, you don't need to polish your paint for the life of the coating as the ceramic coating protects your vehicle from oxidizing in the sun.

From de-icing agents spread on the road in the winter to acid rain in more polluted areas, your vehicle is exposed to a variety of naturally acidic contaminants on a regular basis. When you invest in a ceramic coating for your vehicle, you’re creating a barrier between these contaminants and your car’s paint. This prevents the chemicals from bonding with the surface of your vehicle and creating stains.

Other contaminants that a ceramic coating protects your vehicle from are bug guts and bird droppings. When these contaminants land on your vehicle, they can etch through the clear coat of your car’s paint in just a few hours. This is because these contaminants are also acidic.

Just as a ceramic coating protects your car against chemical stains, it protects your car against chemical etching caused by bug guts and bird dropping contaminants. This effectively protects your car’s paint year-round without having to invest in different products at the change of each season.

While there are a variety of products available that offer a glossy finish and a slick coating for your vehicle’s paint, nothing can beat the durability and thorough protection offered by a ceramic coating. The long-lasting coverage of a ceramic coating means that your vehicle will stay glossy despite the contaminants you may encounter on your daily commute or weekend travels.

Not only that, but a ceramic coating is also designed to enhance the natural reflective properties of your vehicle’s paint. This adds more dimension and shine those other products simply can’t match.

While all these benefits make it easier for you to take care of your vehicle, they also help protect the value of your car as well. Protection from UV rays, chemical stains, etchings from bird droppings, and more means less damage to your vehicle over time. By maintaining the exterior appearance of your vehicle, you’re protecting its value should you ever decide to sell or trade it. Further, Fox Valley Detailing offers a ceramic coating option that is reported to CARFAX, thus helping you justify the increased value of the vehicle when you sell it or trade it.
