As a semi-permanent layer, chemically bound to the paintwork, these coatings can typically last well beyond 4 years with proper care and maintenance. Even though the product highlights a longer durability period of 4 years, give or take, with the weather conditions especially in Melbourne being 4 seasons in a day, wear and tear may be faster than in other countries. Why isn’t it a lifetime warranty? Simply because there is no such thing, to be frank, ceramic coatings are very durable and offer fantastic protection, but are by no means immune to wear and tear or ‘bulletproof’.

Because of the advanced hydrophobic/water-repelling properties, it means that contaminants have a harder time sticking to the surface of your car. Having a coating does not mean your car is immune to getting dirty, it very well can still get dirty if you drive through a dust storm or park under a tree with birds, it just means that when it comes to washing your car, it is much easier and less time-consuming. After all, contaminants such as bird droppings are very acidic, you want to ensure you have enough time to clean it before it penetrates through your clear, thankfully with a coating, you can minimise the chance of this happening marginally.

First of all, congratulations if you have just got your car ceramic coated and protected. All you need to do now is keep it in an enclosed area overnight and you will be okay to drive it the next morning. Please avoid washing the car for 2 weeks, as it takes a week or two for the coating to fully cure, harden and reach its maximal shine. If your car has bird droppings or dirt on it, just simply spray water to wash it off.

We certainly do. Just note that it is a different formula to the one applied to your paintwork, yet still falls under the category of a ceramic coating backed with nanotechnology. Unlike your paintwork, which requires a hardening aspect to combat harsh environmental conditions and abrasions, your car seats, carpet and mats do not need this feature. Applying a coating to these areas is an excellent option for protecting it against spills, stains, unwanted smells and pretty much reduce the likelihood of nasty organisms breeding inside your fabric.

If your car has been coated, you don’t have to wax it, it is not a must-do. Although, there are waxes built specifically for cars with ceramic paint protection on them. Do you have to have it waxed? Not necessarily, but is an added bonus if you want the extra water repellence or hydrophobicity. As a part of our ceramic coating Melbourne services, we still do offer a ceramic wax for those who wish to opt for it when booking future maintenance/car detailing services.
