Ceramic coatings are a nanoparticle technology in which the coating bonds to your vehicle’s paint or surface. Unlike car wax that doesn’t actually bond to your vehicle’s clearcoat in any way, but merely sits in the pores of the finish. When you choose to have a ceramic coating applied to your car, you eliminate the need for wax because of the coating’s superior properties and solution. Car wax is not just wax, it’s a complex mix of silicones and oils. When you use wax and wash your car, you are actually washing away the wax because detergents break down grease, oil, wax, and silicone. By “cleaning” your car, you are cleaning away the glossed-up wax finish.

Nano ceramic coatings, on the other hand, covalently bond to the clear coat surface, meaning a coating becomes part of the clearcoat by sharing electrons. A coating is not easily removed unless it’s polished or sanded off. What does that all mean? A ceramic coating provides superior shine, gloss, and protection from UV damage. They also repel dirt, grime, and water and will not easily be washed off like wax, but make car care a lot easier! Contact AFS for pricing or to schedule your ceramic car coating.
