Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer substance that is carefully applied to the outer surface of a vehicle, wheels and glass. Ceramic Coating is heat-resistant and it is applied by hand. After hardening is creates an additional hydrophobic layer of protection.

Investing in Ceramic Coating is a wise decision as it provides permanent protection for your vehicle’s exterior, preventing premature deterioration and helping maintain a higher resale value. The coating’s slick nature makes it difficult for dirt, brake dust, and road tar to adhere to the paint, wheels, or glass, significantly reducing the effort required for cleaning your vehicle. Moreover, the coating offers an unparalleled gloss and color depth that surpasses any other option available. With proper maintenance, your vehicle will retain its shine and look like new for many years.

Reef Auto Garage is XPEL certified to meticulously apply the coating in liquid form, panel by panel, to cover the exterior painted surfaces of the vehicle. Before applying the coating, the paintwork undergoes a thorough decontamination and preparation process to ensure a strong and effective bond between the coating and the paintwork. This preparation ensures the best possible results and long-lasting protection for the vehicle’s exterior.

The longevity of the ceramic coating depends on various factors, including the type of coating, the driving and storage environment of the car, and how well the coating is maintained. Typically, a well-maintained car with ceramic coating can enjoy the benefits of the protective layer for 4 years.

Ceramic Coating exhibits chemical resistance, meaning it won’t be easily washed away by strong car wash shampoos or cleaning chemicals. However, aggressive car washing methods that involve brushes or automatic car washes may shorten the lifespan of the coating. It’s recommended to use gentle cleaning techniques with microfiber cloths to preserve the coating.

Proper and regular maintenance is essential for any paintwork treatment, including ceramic coating, to achieve the best results and maximize its longevity.
In the event that the ceramic coating needs to be removed, it can be done through abrasion methods like machine polishing, using cutting compounds or cut and polish techniques. Neglecting regular washing (recommended weekly or fortnightly) can also lead to reduced performance and durability of the ceramic coating.

Avoiding roller brush car washes and refraining from wiping your car when it’s dry are essential practices to preserve the ceramic coating and maintain your vehicle’s appearance. Roller brush car washes can be harsh on the coating and may cause scratches or swirl marks on the paint.

Maintaining a careful and regular washing regime for your car is essential to keep it looking pristine and to preserve the ceramic coating. Using a pH neutral shampoo during washing helps prevent any potential damage to the coating and ensures a gentle cleaning process.

Additionally, incorporating a hydrophobic spray into your car care routine can further enhance the water-repellent properties of the ceramic coating, making it easier to keep your car clean and protected from environmental contaminants.
