What Is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coatings provide long-lasting protection for your vehicle’s paint by forming a durable, hydrophobic layer that resists dirt, road grime, UV rays, and chemical stains. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, ceramic coatings bond to the surface at a molecular level, enhancing gloss and depth while making maintenance washes faster and easier. Ideal for car owners who want to preserve that showroom finish, ceramic coatings deliver unmatched shine and protection that can last for years with proper care.

✔  Long-lasting protection

✔  Showroom-like shine

Frequent Ceramic Coating Questions

How Do I Book an Appointment for Ceramic Coating Installation?

We make booking a car exterior detailing appointment simple and easy. Simply give us a call and we will give you a personalized quote and schedule an appointment with you. 

How Long Does it Take to Install Ceramic Coating?

The ceramic coating installation process typically takes 8 hours to properly execute. More time might be required due to vehicle size, color, and paint condition. Once installation is complete, the coating needs 1-2 hours before it is weather ready. The full curing process takes 7 days and the vehicle should not be washed during this time.

Which Type of Ceramic Coating Do You Install?

At Loupe Detailing, we currently offer C6 Ceramics and Diamond Protech coatings. After testing many options, we’ve found these to provide the highest quality and performance.

Is Ceramic Coating Worth It?

Ceramic coating is 100% worth it if you want to: 

  • Protect your paint from everyday elements (UV rays, bird droppings, bug guts, chemicals, light marring)
  • Have a much easier time cleaning and maintaining the vehicles coated surfaces
  • Gain a smooth, glossy reflection that lasts years

Ceramic coatings are not worth it if you want to:

  • You like to wax your vehicle every few months
  • Your paint is in poor condition and the clear coat is failing (often looks like the paint is peeling away or faded)

How Does Ceramic Coating Work?

Ceramic coatings are typically made from silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is a natural compound found in sand and quartz. When applied to a vehicle’s paint, it forms a chemical bond with the clear coat, creating a hydrophobic surface that repels water and contaminants

For some vehicles, it may take two detailers up to 8 hours to properly complete a ceramic coating install. Once the surface is perfectly clean and polished, the coating is applied and allowed to ‘flash’ or dry for a minute. Two separate microfiber towels are then used to level and remove any access coating.

Once this is done on all surfaces, the vehicle is left to cure for 1 to 2 hours. It’s crucial that the coating remains dry during this time to ensure a strong initial cure.

After the curing period, your vehicle will be protected by a durable coating that resists contaminants, acidic etching, light marring, and provides a deep, glossy finish that lasts for years!

Will Ceramic Coating Prevent Rock Chips?

The simple answer is no. As hard as the ceramic coating is, it is not going to stop rocks at 55 mph from damaging your paint. The only true protection from deep scratches and rock chips is paint protection film. Click here to learn more about our paint protection film installation services.

Can Ceramic Coating Be Removed?

Yes, but it’s not an easy process. The purpose of the coating is to be resilient. A common reason why people pay for a ceramic coating service is for the peace of mind that it is being done correctly. If you were to leave a spot of coating that was too thick, it will show up on the paint and look like a defect.

To remove, a detailer can use acidic soaps and/or chemicals then follow up with a multistage compound and polish. This process can be very time-consuming.

Besides actually physically removing it, nature will wear the coating away over time. As the vehicle is exposed to UV rays, strong soaps, and other chemicals, the coating will begin to fail after a few years.

Due to this, we recommend coming into our shop every 3 to 6 months for a decontamination wash. A decontamination wash is important to get the most life out of your ceramic coating. During this service, one of our installers will decontaminate the paint of your care, evaluate the health of your ceramic coating, and apply a top coat to the existing ceramic coating to form a sacrificial layer of protection.
