A ceramic coating that you apply yourself is much less expensive, but the application is difficult and it is easy to make mistakes. The best ceramic coatings for cars add a high-gloss finish to your paint job while also increasing the color’s depth. Chemical Guys' Carbon Force came in a compact package with the ceramic-coating liquid, three application pads, and instructions on the back of the box.

After doing a few ceramic coatings ourselves, we feel confident in saying that applying a DIY ceramic coating isn't as arduous a task as it appears. The results aren’t quite as durable as a multi-stage kit such as CQuartz but seem to last longer than what you’ll get from spray-on coatings. The dilemma for ceramic coating producers is to balance durability with the demands of professional application. Not only can you apply the Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat to cars and trucks but also boats, motorbikes, recreational vehicles (RVs), and four-wheelers. You will also want to wear and use personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator and gloves.Another from the professional end of the market, with a hardness rating of 9H (think of pencils to get an idea of the grade). It’s designed more as a top-up for existing coatings or waxes, but we found it worked well as a standalone product. It works much like others here and is sprayed on to clean, decontaminated bodywork before being buffed. After washing your vehicle, apply the gel, let it cure for as few as 30 seconds, and dry the treated surfaces with a high-quality microfiber towel . Easy and Quick Waterless Wash: Just spray it on your car paint, it will eliminate dirt, dirt, bird droppings, insects, mud, dust, grease, and stubborn stains immediately upon contact, saving time and money.

First and foremost is the difference in how you apply the highly concentrated ceramic coatings as opposed to the hybrid ceramic coatings. After roughly 24 hours to cure, the Carbon Force had the thickest coating compared to its competitors. If you haven't heard of Shine Armor and you are into Car Detailing, you have probably been living under a rock.

Ceramic coatings are a step above the protection offered by a basic car wax, but come at a premium and sometimes require a skilled hand. They also offer resistance to chemical stains and a certain degree of scratch resistance, giving the car a high-gloss finish and making it easier to clean. Multiple Uses: This long-lasting and extremely durable product is designed for vehicles and other solid surfaces which require superior shine and protection.

That said, applying a ceramic coating is doable for the at-home enthusiast, but you may want to take a class in the process beforehand. You would need to use the more expensive pH-neutral car shampoos for them to have a chance at longevity. We’ll also explore how ceramic car coatings work, the pros and cons of using one, and what to look for in high-quality ceramic coating products. We ensured our bonnet was clean and free from waxes and previous coatings, then applied each product to the maker’s instructions, rating ease of use.

After you apply and properly cure the ceramic coating, the result is a tough protective layer that should keep everything from bird crap to brake dust at bay. In all those cases, this will do you just fine and it will survive some time and will resist at least a couple of washes! Like many higher-quality ceramic coatings, you’ll need to prep your vehicle thoroughly before the actual application process.

While the Chemical Guys HydroSlick SiO2 Ceramic Coating doesn’t quite deliver the same level of shine and scratch-resistance as a traditional ceramic coating, it’s a great option for beginner detailers.This includes any paint corrections you want to make, a thorough hand wash, a clay bar session, a buff job as you see fit, and a final wipe of a microfiber cloth to remove every bit of dirt and debris from the clear-coat.
