About ceramic coating
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint and cures into a hard, glossy, hydrophobic layer. Unlike a wax that lasts weeks, a quality coating protects for years — locking in gloss, making the car far easier to wash, and shielding the clear coat from UV, bird droppings, bug acids and light swirl marks.
Ceramic Coating in Albany: FAQ
How long does ceramic coating last?
Entry coatings last around a year; multi-layer professional coatings run 3–5+ years with proper maintenance washing.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
It adds hardness and resists light swirls and marring, but it is not scratch-proof and won't stop rock chips — that's what paint protection film is for.
Do I still need to wash a coated car?
Yes, but far less often and much more easily — dirt and water release with a simple rinse and pH-neutral wash.
Should I get paint correction first?
If your paint has swirls or scratches, correcting first is worth it — a coating locks in whatever condition the paint is in.
