Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with a vehicle’s paint, creating a protective layer. It’s designed to shield the paint from environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches, while also providing a high-gloss finish.

Ceramic coating offers benefits such as superior paint protection, UV resistance, water and dirt repellency, and a lasting glossy finish.

Ceramic coatings are highly hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. When a vehicle is coated, water beads up and rolls off the surface more easily, taking dirt and grime with it. This hydrophobic effect makes it much easier to clean your car, as contaminants do not adhere strongly to the coating.

Ceramic coatings provide a hard layer of protection that can reduce the likelihood of fine scratches and swirl marks. However, it’s not completely scratch-proof. Proper washing techniques and regular maintenance are essential to preserve the coating’s integrity and appearance.

The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on various factors including the quality of the coating, the application process, and how the vehicle is maintained. High-quality coatings like Jade Obsidian and Jade Graphene, offered by Mountainside Mobile Detailing, can last up to 7 years with proper care.

Yes, ceramic coating is beneficial for all types of vehicles, from luxury and exotic cars to daily drivers. It provides lasting protection and maintains the vehicle’s appearance, regardless of make or model.

Ceramic coatings work best on a clean, corrected paint surface. Existing layers of wax or sealant should be removed during the preparation process to ensure the ceramic coating properly bonds to the paint

Graphene coatings are the latest advancement in ceramic coating technology. While both graphene and SiO2 (silicon dioxide) coatings offer protection and gloss, graphene coatings provide enhanced durability, better water-spot resistance, and stronger protection against chemicals and UV rays. The molecular structure of graphene results in tighter bonds, offering a higher level of scratch resistance and hydrophobic properties compared to traditional SiO2 coatings.

While ceramic coatings make maintenance easier, they do require some special care to ensure longevity. It’s recommended to wash the vehicle regularly with a pH-neutral shampoo, avoid harsh chemicals, and perform a decontamination wash periodically to remove any buildup.

The cost of ceramic coating varies depending on the size of the vehicle, the condition of the paint, and the type of coating selected. At Mountainside Mobile Detailing, we offer a range of options tailored to meet the specific needs and budget of each client.
